Mechanisms of efficient indoor formaldehyde removal via electro-Fenton: Synergy in ·OH generation and utilization through a modified carbon cathode. ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (BARKING, ESSEX : 1987) 2024; 351:124090. [PMID: 38697249 DOI: 10.1016/j.envpol.2024.124090] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/26/2024] [Revised: 04/25/2024] [Accepted: 04/29/2024] [Indexed: 05/04/2024]
Abstract
Indoor formaldehyde poses a significant carcinogenic risk to human health, making its removal imperative. Electro-Fenton degradation has emerged as a promising technology for addressing this concern. In the electro-Fenton system, ·OH is identified as the primary active species responsible for formaldehyde removal. Hence, its generation and utilization are pivotal for the system's effectiveness and economy. Experimental and quantum chemical methods were employed to investigate the effects and mechanisms of nitrogen doping on various aspects influencing ·OH generation and utilization. Results indicate that nitrogen doping synergistically enhances the generation and utilization of ·OH, leading to an improved formaldehyde removal efficiency in nitrogen-doped cathodic systems. The dominant nitrogen type influencing ·OH generation and utilization varies across different stages. Pyridinic nitrogen facilitates H2O2 adsorption through hydrogen bonding, while pyrrolic and graphitic nitrogen contribute to formaldehyde adsorption and catalyze the conversion of H2O2 to ·OH. Both pyridinic nitrogen and pyrrolic nitrogen boost the degradation of formaldehyde by ·OH. In comparison to the unmodified system, the modified system with NAC-GF/700C as cathode exhibits remarkable improvements. The formaldehyde removal efficiency has increased twofold, and energy consumption reduced by 73.45%. Furthermore, the system demonstrates excellent cyclic stability. These advancements can be attributed to the activation temperature, which leads to the appropriate types and high content of nitrogen elements in NAC-GF/700C. The research represents an important step towards more economical and efficient electro-Fenton technology for indoor formaldehyde removal.

Abstract
In this paper, we provide a comprehensive review of the latest research trends in terms of the preparation, and characteristics of activated carbons regarding CO2 adsorption applications, with a special focus on future investigation paths. The reported current research trends are primarily closely related to the synthesis conditions (carbonization and physical or chemical activation process), to develop the microporosity and surface area, which are the most important factors affecting the effectiveness of adsorption. Furthermore, we emphasized the importance of regeneration techniques as a factor determining the actual technological and economic suitability of a given material for CO2 capture application. Consequently, this work provides a summary and potential directions for the development of activated carbons (AC). We attempt to create a thorough theoretical foundation for activated carbons while also focusing on identifying and specific statements of the most relevant ongoing research scope that might be advantageous to progress and pursue in the coming years.

Abstract
The shortage and unevenness of fossil energy sources are affecting the development and progress of human civilization. The technology of efficiently converting material resources into energy for utilization and storage is attracting the attention of researchers. Environmentally friendly biomass materials are a treasure to drive the development of new-generation energy sources. Electrochemical theory is used to efficiently convert the chemical energy of chemical substances into electrical energy. In recent years, significant progress has been made in the development of green and economical electrocatalysts for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). Although many reviews have been reported around the application of biomass-derived catalytically active carbon (CAC) catalysts in ORR, these reviews have only selected a single/partial topic (including synthesis and preparation of catalysts from different sources, structural optimization, or performance enhancement methods based on CAC catalysts, and application of biomass-derived CACs) for discussion. There is no review that systematically addresses the latest progress in the synthesis, performance enhancement, and applications related to biomass-derived CAC-based oxygen reduction electrocatalysts synchronously. This review fills the gap by providing a timely and comprehensive review and summary from the following sections: the exposition of the basic catalytic principles of ORR, the summary of the chemical composition and structural properties of various types of biomass, the analysis of traditional and the latest popular biomass-derived CAC synthesis methods and optimization strategies, and the summary of the practical applications of biomass-derived CAC-based oxidative reduction electrocatalysts. This review provides a comprehensive summary of the latest advances to provide research directions and design ideas for the development of catalyst synthesis/optimization and contributes to the industrialization of biomass-derived CAC electrocatalysis and electric energy storage.

Abstract
This work reports an efficient method for facile synthesis of hierarchically porous carbon (WB-AC) utilizing wheat bran waste. Obtained carbon showed 2.47 mmol g-1 CO2 capture capacity with good CO2 /N2 selectivity and 27.35 to 29.90 kJ mol-1 isosteric heat of adsorption. Rapid removal of MO dye was observed with a capacity of ~555 mg g-1 . Moreover, WB-AC demonstrated a good OER activity with 0.35 V low overpotential at 5 mA cm-2 and a Tafel slope of 115 mV dec-1 . It also exhibited high electrocatalytic HER activity with 57 mV overpotential at 10 mA cm-2 and a Tafel slope of 82.6 mV dec-1 . The large SSA (757 m2 g-1 ) and total pore volume (0.3696 cm3 g-1 ) result from N2 activation contributing to selective CO2 uptake, high and rapid dye removal capacity and superior electrochemical activity (OER/HER), suggesting the use of WB-AC as cost effective adsorbent and metal free electrocatalyst.

Abstract
As it is now established that global warming and climate change are a reality, international investments are pouring in and rightfully so for climate change mitigation. Carbon capture and separation (CCS) is therefore gaining paramount importance as it is considered one of the powerful solutions for global warming. Sorption on porous materials is a promising alternative to traditional carbon dioxide (CO2 ) capture technologies. Owing to their sustainable availability, economic viability, and important recyclability, natural products-derived porous carbons have emerged as favorable and competitive materials for CO2 sorption. Furthermore, the fabrication of high-quality value-added functional porous carbon-based materials using renewable precursors and waste materials is an environmentally friendly approach. This review provides crucial insights and analyses to enhance the understanding of the application of porous carbons in CO2 capture. Various methods for the synthesis of porous carbon, their structural characterization, and parameters that influence their sorption properties are discussed. The review also delves into the utilization of molecular dynamics (MD), Monte Carlo (MC), density functional theory (DFT), and machine learning techniques for simulating adsorption and validating experimental results. Lastly, the review provides future outlook and research directions for progressing the use of natural products-derived porous carbons for CO2 capture.

Abstract
This study investigates the use of chitosan hydrogel microspheres as a template for growing an extended network of MOF-type HKUST-1. Different drying methods (supercritical CO2, freeze-drying, and vacuum drying) were used to generate three-dimensional polysaccharide nanofibrils embedding MOF nanoclusters. The resulting HKUST-1@Chitosan beads exhibit uniform and stable loadings of HKUST-1 and were used for the adsorption of CO2, CH4, Xe, and Kr. The maximum adsorption capacity of CO2 was found to be 1.98 mmol·g-1 at 298 K and 1 bar, which is significantly higher than those of most MOF-based composite materials. Based on Henry's constants, thus-prepared HKUST-1@CS beads also exhibit fair selectivity for CO2 over CH4 and Xe over Kr, making them promising candidates for capture and separation applications.

Abstract
Biomass-based adsorbents are considered to have great potential for CO2 capture due to their low cost, high efficiency and exceptional sustainability. The aim of this work is to design a simple method for preparing biomass-based adsorbents with abundant active sites and large numbers of narrow micropores, so as to enhance CO2 capture performance. Herein, N, S co-doped porous carbon (NSPC) was created utilizing walnut shell-based microporous carbon (WSMC) as the main framework and thiourea as N/S dopant through physical grinding and post-treatment process at a moderate temperature without any other reagents and steps. By altering the post-treatment parameters, a series of porous carbons with varying physico-chemical properties were prepared to discuss the roles of microporosity and N/S functional groups in CO2 adsorption. NSPC with narrow micropore volume of 0.74 cm3 g-1, N content of 4.89 % and S contents of 0.71 % demonstrated the highest CO2 adsorption capacity of 7.26 (0 °C) and 5.51 mmol g-1 (25 °C) at 1 bar. Meanwhile, a good selectivity of binary gas mixture CO2/N2 (15/85) of 29.72 and outstanding recyclability after ten cycles of almost 100 % adsorption capacity retention were achieved. The proposed post-treatment method was beneficial in maintaining the narrow micropores and forming N/S active sites, which together improve the CO2 adsorption performance of NSPC. The novel NSPC displays amazing CO2 adsorption characteristics, and the practical, affordable synthetic approach exhibits significant potential to produce highly effective CO2 adsorbents on a broad scale.

Abstract
This study was to develop a low-cost N-doped porous biocarbon adsorbent that can directly adsorb CO2 in high-temperature flue gas from fossil fuel combustion. The porous biocarbon was prepared by nitrogen doping and nitrogen-oxygen codoping through K2CO3 activation. Results showed that these samples exhibited a high specific surface area of 1209-2307 m2/g with a pore volume of 0.492-0.868 cm3/g and a nitrogen content of 0.41-3.3 wt %. The optimized sample CNNK-1 exhibited a high adsorption capacity of 1.30 and 0.27 mmol/g in the simulated flue gas (14.4 vol % CO2 + 85.6 vol % N2) and a high CO2/N2 selectivity of 80 and 20 at 25 and 100 °C and 1 bar, respectively. Studies revealed that too many microporous pores could hinder CO2 diffusion and adsorption due to the decrease of CO2 partial pressure and thermodynamic driving force in the simulated flue gas. The CO2 adsorption of the samples was mainly chemical adsorption at 100 °C, which depended on the surface nitrogen functional groups. Nitrogen functional groups (pyridinic-N and primary and secondary amines) reacted chemically with CO2 to produce graphitic-N, pyrrolic-like structures, and carboxyl functional groups (-N-COOH). Nitrogen and oxygen codoping increased the amount of nitrogen doping content in the sample, but acidic oxygen functional groups (carboxyl groups, lactones, and phenols) were introduced, which weakened the acid-base interactions between the sample and CO2 molecules. It was demonstrated that SO2 and water vapor had inhibition effects on CO2 adsorption, while NO nearly has no effect on the complex flue gas. Cyclic regenerative adsorption showed that CNNK-1 possessed excellent regeneration and stabilization ability in complex flue gases, indicating that corncob-derived biocarbon had excellent CO2 adsorption in high-temperature flue gas.

Abstract
The adsorbents are critical carriers in the process of adsorption-based post-combustion CO2 capture. Biomass-based adsorbents (BAs) are considered to have great potential because of their high efficiency, low cost, and good sustainability. To understand the methods, theories, and technologies of BAs-based CO2 capture, this work analyzes their preparation and activation/modification, influencing factors, mechanisms, thermodynamics/kinetics, regeneration and cycle performances, and the pathway to application. It is found that BAs prepared by pyrolysis, chemical activation, and modification with dual heteroatoms are more conducive to improving adsorption sites. CO2 adsorption capacity positively correlates with elemental C and fixed carbon of feedstocks, but negatively with moisture. The BAs prepared at 550-600 °C have high performance. The specific surface area (SSA) increases as the preparation time increases by 9.4%-93.4%. The adsorption capacity is positively correlated to the SSA (R = 0.880) and microporous volume (R = 0.773). Moreover, it decreases linearly with increasing operating temperature with the slope of -0.6 mmol/(g·°C) but increases exponentially with increasing operating pressure and CO2 concentration with the power of 0.824. The adsorption process includes physical and/or physicochemical adsorption. Freundlich isotherm equation and pseudo-second-order model characterize the adsorption thermodynamics and kinetics more effectively with R2 = 0.985-1.000 and R2 = 0.894-1.000. The quantum chemistry indicates that most BAs modified with non-metallic belong to physisorption. The regeneration of BAs has low energy consumption (<3.44 MJ/kg CO2) and loss rate (<8%). Furthermore, the technical pathway is proposed for application. Finally, the challenges are also presented to facilitate the development of BAs-CO2 capture.

Abstract
Global warming and climate changes are among the biggest modern-day environmental problems, the main factor causing these problems is the greenhouse gas effect. The increased concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere resulted in capturing increased amounts of reflected sunlight, causing serious acute and chronic environmental problems. The concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere reached 421 ppm in 2022 as compared to 280 in the 1800s, this increase is attributed to the increased carbon dioxide emissions from the industrial revolution. The release of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere can be minimized by practicing carbon capture utilization and storage methods. Carbon capture utilization and storage (CCUS) has four major methods, namely, pre-combustion, post-combustion, oxyfuel combustion, and direct air capture. It has been reported that applying CCUS can capture up to 95% of the produced carbon dioxide in running power plants. However, a reported cost penalty and efficiency decrease hinder the wide applicability of CCUS. Advancements in the CCSU were made in increasing the efficiency and decreasing the cost of the sorbents. In this review, we highlight the recent developments in utilizing both physical and chemical sorbents to capture carbon. This includes amine-based sorbents, blended absorbents, ionic liquids, metal-organic framework (MOF) adsorbents, zeolites, mesoporous silica materials, alkali-metal adsorbents, carbonaceous materials, and metal oxide/metal oxide-based materials. In addition, a comparison between recently proposed kinetic and thermodynamic models was also introduced. It was concluded from the published studies that amine-based sorbents are considered assuperior carbon-capturing materials, which is attributed to their high stability, multifunctionality, rapid capture, and ability to achieve large sorption capacities. However, more work must be done to reduce their cost as it can be regarded as their main drawback.

Abstract
Biomass-derived porous carbons have been considered one of the most effective adsorbents for CO2 capture, due to their porous structure and high specific surface area. In this study, we successfully synthesized porous carbon from celery biomass and examined the effect of external adsorption parameters including time, temperature, and pressure on CO2 uptake in experimental and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. Furthermore, the influence of carbon's surface chemistry (carboxyl and hydroxyl functionalities) and nitrogen type on CO2 capture were investigated utilizing MD simulations. The results showed that pyridinic nitrogen has a greater tendency to adsorb CO2 than graphitic. It was found that the simultaneous presence of these two types of nitrogen has a greater effect on the CO2 sorption than the individual presence of each in the structure. It was also revealed that the addition of carboxyl groups (O=C-OH) to the carbon matrix enhances CO2 capture by about 10%. Additionally, by increasing the simulation time and the size of the simulation box, the average absolute relative error for simulation results of optimal structure declined to 16%, which is an acceptable value and makes the simulation process reliable to predict adsorption capacity under various conditions.

Abstract
An efficient CO2 adsorbent with a hierarchically micro-mesoporous structure and a large number of amine groups was fabricated by a two-step synthesis technique. Its structural properties, surface groups, thermal stability and CO2 adsorption performance were fully investigated. The analysis results show that the prepared CO2 adsorbent has a specific hierarchically micro-mesoporous structure and highly uniformly dispersed amine groups that are favorable for the adsorption of CO2. At the same time, the CO2 adsorption capacity of the prepared adsorbent can reach a maximum of 3.32 mmol-CO2/g-adsorbent in the actual flue gas temperature range of 303-343 K. In addition, the kinetic analysis results indicate that both the adsorption process and the desorption process have rapid adsorption/desorption rates. Finally, the fitting of the CO2 adsorption/desorption experimental data by Avrami's fractional kinetic model shows that the CO2 adsorption rate is mainly controlled by the intra-particle diffusion rate, and the temperature has little effect on the adsorption rate.

Abstract
Nitrogen has a vital influence on the properties of the microwave-assisted hydrothermal carbonization (MHTC) products of Spirulina platensis (SP). The effects of hydrothermal temperature (140-220 °C) and time (1-4 h) on the product distribution and nitrogen migration of SP in MHTC were studied. Increasing temperature led to an increase in the carbon content, and a decrease in the nitrogen content in hydrochar. Protein-N was the major nitrogen-containing species in hydrochar. The total nitrogen in liquid phase increased significantly with increasing temperature. Carbon dots were found to be one of the valuable products in the liquid phase. Higher temperatures improved the amine-N level and reduced the quaternary-N content in carbon dots. A close correspondence was found between the N-containing species and the luminescence centers of carbon dots. A possible nitrogen migration mechanism was proposed to provide guidance for the potential application of the products.

Abstract
In this work, nitrogen-doped bamboo-based activated carbon (NBAC) was in situ synthesized from simply blending bamboo charcoal (BC) with sodamide (SA, NaNH2) powders and heating with a protection of nitrogen flow at a medium temperature. The elemental analysis and X-ray photoelectron spectra of as-synthesized NBAC showed quite a high nitrogen level of the simultaneously activated and doped samples; an abundant pore structure had also been determined from the NBACs which has a narrow size distribution of micropores (<2 nm) and favorable specific surface area that presented superb adsorption performance. The fcarbon dioxide (CO2) adsorption of the NBACs was measured at 0 °C and 25 °C at a pressure of 1 bar, whose capture capacities reached 3.68–4.95 mmol/g and 2.49–3.52 mmol/g, respectively, and the maximum adsorption could be observed for NBACs fabricated with an SA/BC ratio of 3:1 and activated at 500 °C. Further, adsorption selectivity of CO2 over N2 was deduced with the ideal adsorbed solution theory ((IAST), the selectivity was finally calculated which ranged from 15 to 17 for the NBACs fabricated at 500 °C). The initial isosteric heat of adsorption (Qst) of NBACs was also determined at 30–40 kJ/mol, which suggested that CO2 adsorption was a physical process. The results of ten-cycle adsorption-desorption experimentally confirmed the regenerated NBACs of a steady CO2 adsorption performance, that is, the as-synthesized versatile NBAC with superb reproducibility makes it a perspective candidate in CO2 capture and separation application.

Abstract
Oxygen and nitrogen enriched micro-meso porous carbon powders have been prepared from pectin and melamine as oxygen and nitrogen containing organic precursors, respectively. The synthesis process has been performed following a solvothermal approach in an alkaline solution during which Pluronic F127 was added to the solution as the soft template. Following the solvothermal treatment, the carbonization process has been performed at 700, 850 and 950 °C. The synthesized porous carbons have been characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherms and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The surface area of 499.5 m2 g-1, total pore volume of 0.35 cm3 g-1, and a high nitrogen and oxygen content of 9.3 and 29.1 wt% are displayed for the fine sample. The optimal porous carbon had CO2 adsorption of up to 3.1 mmol g-1 at 273 K at 1 bar owing to abundant basic nitrogen-containing functionalities and the valuable micro-meso porous structure. Despite the absence of any reagent and also having a relatively moderate specific surface area, compared to similar materials, a very high ratio of adsorption capacity to specific surface area (6.2 μmol m-2) was observed. The Elovich kinetic model was found to be the best and the physisorption process was reported.

Abstract
Focusing on the high-valued utilization of the widespread silicon-rich waste biomass, a sustainable route by simultaneous utilization of carbon and silicon from silicon-rich rice husk was proposed in this work. Specifically, porous carbon-zeolite composite with hierarchical porous structure of micro/meso pores (carbon) and ultra-microporous pores (Na-X zeolite) was in situ prepared by a facile one-pot method. The obtained porous carbon-zeolite composite (PC2-Z) had a higher yield of 67.66% compared to the porous carbon without silicon (PC2) of 43.33%. Moreover, due to the high ultra-micropore volume of the PC2-Z sample (up to 0.181 cm3/g), it exhibited high dynamic CO2 adsorption capacity of 1.81 mmol/g and CO2/N2 selectivity of 9.80 (1 bar), which were higher than 1.67 mmol/g and 7.01 (1 bar) for PC2, respectively. PC2-Z also showed good regeneration efficiency above 99% after ten cycles. Furthermore, the economic and energy consumption assessment of this utilization route was conducted. Overall, a facile one-pot route was developed to prepare highly efficient composite absorbents from silicon-rich biomass, which can be widely used in different environmental applications.

Abstract
The atmospheric CO2 concentration continues a rapid increase to its current record high value of 416 ppm for the time being. It calls for advanced CO2 capture technologies. One of the attractive technologies is physical adsorption-based separation, which shows easy regeneration and high cycle stability, and thus reduced energy penalties and cost. The extensive research on this topic is evidenced by the growing body of scientific and technical literature. The progress spans from the innovation of novel porous adsorbents to practical separation practices. Major CO2 capture materials include the most widely used industrially relevant porous carbons, zeolites, activated alumina, mesoporous silica, and the newly emerging metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and covalent-organic framework (COFs). The key intrinsic properties such as pore structure, surface chemistry, preferable adsorption sites, and other structural features that would affect CO2 capture capacity, selectivity, and recyclability are first discussed. The industrial relevant variables such as particle size of adsorbents, the mechanical strength, adsorption heat management, and other technological advances are equally important, even more crucial when scaling up from bench and pilot-scale to demonstration and commercial scale. Therefore, we aim to bring a full picture of the adsorption-based CO2 separation technologies, from adsorbent design, intrinsic property evaluation to performance assessment not only under ideal equilibrium conditions but also in realistic pressure swing adsorption processes.

Abstract
In terms of ligand-directed synthetic strategy, multifunctional metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) could be assembled by employing organic ligands with nitrogen-containing heterocycles, which could serve as Lewis base sites in crystallized porous frameworks. Here, the acidic one-pot hydrothermal reaction of CaCl2, Zn(NO3)2, and 2,4,6-tri(2,4-dicarboxyphenyl)pyridine (H6TDP) generates one robust honeycomb-shaped double-walled material of {[(CH3)2NH2]2[CaZn(TDP)(H2O)]·3DMF·3H2O}n (NUC-21), which has the excellent physicochemical characteristics of nanoscopic channels, high porosity (58.3%), large specific surface area, and high heat/water-resisting property. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first 3s-3d dinuclear [CaZn(CO2)6(OH2)]-based nanoporous host framework, whose activated state possesses the coexistence of Lewis acid-base sites including four-coordinated Zn2+ ions, four-coordinated Ca2+ ions, uncoordinated carboxyl oxygen atoms, and Npyridine atoms. As expected, because of the coexistence of Lewis acid-base nature, desolvated NUC-21 displays satisfactory catalytic activity on the chemical cycloaddition of various epoxides with CO2 into the corresponding alkyl carbonates under comparatively mild conditions. Furthermore, the efficient conversion of benzaldehydes and malononitrile confirms that NUC-21 is simultaneously a bifunctional heterogeneous catalyst for Knoevenagel condensation reactions. Hence, the achievements broaden the way for assembling nanoporous multifunctional MOFs by employing ligand-directed synthetic strategy, which can accelerate the transformation from simple structural research to socially demanding applications.
