Abstract
The energy demand for traditional vapor-compressed technology for space cooling continues to soar year after year due to global warming and the increasing human population's need to improve living and working conditions. Thus, there is a growing demand for eco-friendly technologies that use sustainable or waste energy resources. This review discusses the properties of various refrigerants used for adsorption cooling applications followed by a brief discussion on the thermodynamic cycle. Next, sorbents traditionally used for cooling are reviewed to emphasize the need for advanced capture materials with superior properties to improve refrigerant sorption. The remainder of the review focus on studies using engineered nanoporous frameworks (ENFs) with various refrigerants for adsorption cooling applications. The effects of the various factors that play a role in ENF-refrigerant pair selection, including pore structure/dimension/shape, morphology, open-metal sites, pore chemistry and possible presence of defects, are reviewed. Next, in-depth insights into the sorbent-refrigerant interaction, and pore filling mechanism gained through a combination of characterization techniques and computational modeling are discussed. Finally, we outline the challenges and opportunities related to using ENFs for adsorption cooling applications and provide our views on the future of this technology.

Abstract
Secondary battery as an efficient energy conversion device has been highly attractive for alleviating the energy crisis and environmental pollution. Hierarchical porous carbon (HPC) materials with multiple sizes pore channels are considered as promising materials for energy conversion and storage applications, due to their high specific surface area and excellent electrical conductivity. Although many reviews have reported on carbon materials for different fields, systematic summaries about HPC materials for lithium storage are still rare. In this review, we first summarize the main preparation methods of HPC materials, including hard template method, soft template method, and template-free method. The modification methods including porosity and morphology tuning, heteroatom doping, and multiphase composites are introduced systematically. Then, the recent advances in HPC materials on lithium storage are summarized. Finally, we outline the challenges and future perspectives for the application of HPC materials in lithium storage.

Abstract
One-step carbonization was explored to prepare biochar using the residue of a traditional Chinese herbal medicine, Atropa belladonna L. (ABL), as the raw material. The resulting biochar, known as ABLB4, was evaluated for its potential as a sustainable material for norfloxacin (NOR) adsorption in water. Subsequently, a comprehensive analysis of adsorption isotherms, kinetics, and thermodynamics was conducted through batch adsorption experiments. The maximum calculated NOR adsorption capacity was 252.0 mg/g at 298 K, and the spontaneous and exothermic adsorption of NOR on ABLB4 could be better suited to a pseudo-first-order kinetic model and Langmuir model. The adsorption process observed is influenced by pore diffusion, π-π interaction, electrostatic interaction, and hydrogen bonding between ABLB4 and NOR molecules. Moreover, the utilization of response surface modeling (RSM) facilitated the optimization of the removal efficiency of NOR, yielding a maximum removal rate of 97.4% at a temperature of 304.8 K, an initial concentration of 67.1 mg/L, and a pH of 7.4. Furthermore, the biochar demonstrated favorable economic advantages, with a payback of 852.5 USD/t. More importantly, even after undergoing five cycles, ABLB4 exhibited a consistently high NOR removal rate, indicating its significant potential for application in NOR adsorption.

Abstract
The rise in universal population and accompanying demands have directed toward an exponential surge in the generation of polymeric waste. The estimate predicts that world-wide plastic production will rise to ≈590 million metric tons by 2050, whereas 5000 million more tires will be routinely abandoned by 2030. Handling this waste and its detrimental consequences on the Earth's ecosystem and human health presents a significant challenge. Converting the wastes into carbon-based functional materials viz. activated carbon, graphene, and nanotubes is considered the most scientific and adaptable method. Herein, this world provides an overview of the various sources of polymeric wastes, modes of build-up, impact on the environment, and management approaches. Update on advances and novel modifications made in methodologies for converting diverse types of polymeric wastes into carbon nanomaterials over the last 5 years are given. A remarkable focus is made to comprehend the applications of polymeric waste-derived carbon nanomaterials (PWDCNMs) in the CO2 capture, removal of heavy metal ions, supercapacitor-based energy storage and water splitting with an emphasis on the correlation between PWDCNMs' properties and their performances. This review offers insights into emerging developments in the upcycling of polymeric wastes and their applications in environment and energy.

Novel catalysts with multivalence copper for organic pollutants removal from wastewater with excellent selectivity and stability in Fenton-like process under neutral pH conditions. WATER ENVIRONMENT RESEARCH : A RESEARCH PUBLICATION OF THE WATER ENVIRONMENT FEDERATION 2022; 94:e10816. [PMID: 36471565 DOI: 10.1002/wer.10816] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/02/2022] [Revised: 09/21/2022] [Accepted: 11/15/2022] [Indexed: 06/09/2023]
Abstract
Fenton-like reaction has been widely used for organics degradation. However, most Fenton-like reaction works at low pH range (pH < 4) with uncontrollable selectivity of hydroxyl radicals from H2 O2 activation, and unsatisfied catalyst stability, which is compromised advanced oxidation performance for water/wastewater treatments. In this work, to solve the drawbacks, novel copper catalysts were fabricated via hydrogen reduction/calcination of Cu2+ -supported Al/MCM-41 with precisely controllable copper valence state. Compared with catalysts with monovalence copper (i.e., CuO, Cu, and Cu2+ ), the obtained catalysts with multivalence copper present higher selectivity, excellent stability towards •OH radical pathways, and outperformance in pCBA degradation efficiency at neutral state. In addition, the fabricated catalysts also exhibited excellent phenol removal efficiency (75.5%) and H2 O2 utilization efficiency (47.9%) within neutral environment. Moreover, the degradation efficiency of phenol approaches to 100% within only 2 h. The catalyst also shows good stability for organic pollutants removal, which shows good potential in catalytic oxidation for phenolic compounds-containing wastewater in Fenton-like reaction, especially under neutral pH conditions. PRACTITIONER POINTS: Multivalence copper presents great potentials for organic compounds removal at neutral condition. Multivalence copper shows higher selectivity toward •OH and good stability at neutral condition. Multivalence copper exhibiters outperformed phenol removal efficiency at neutral condition.

Abstract
ConspectusWith the worldwide demand for refrigeration and cooling expected to triple, it is increasingly important to search for alternative energy resources to drive refrigeration cycles with reduced electricity consumption. Recently, adsorption cooling has gained increased attention since energy reallocation in such systems is based on gas adsorption/desorption, which can be driven by waste/natural heat sources. Eco-friendly sorption-based cooling relies on the cyclic transfer of refrigerant gas from a high to low energy state by the pseudocompression effect resulting from adsorption and desorption. The driving force for energy transfer relies on heat rather than electricity. The performance of a sorption chiller is primarily influenced by this cyclic sorption behavior, which is characterized as the working capacity of the porous sorbent. Thus, increases in this working capacity directly translate to a more compact and efficient cooling system. However, a lack of highly effective sorbent/refrigerant pairs lowers cooling performance and therefore has limited applicability. To this end, synthetic metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and covalent organic polymers (COPs) possess higher porosity and greater tunability leading to more substantial potential benefits for adsorption, compared to traditional sorbent materials. Similarly, hydrofluorocarbon refrigerants have more favorable applicability given the ease of operation above atmospheric pressures due to suitable saturated vapor pressures and boiling points. For these reasons, our work focuses on an ongoing strategy to promote sorption cooling via improvements in the sorbent/refrigerant pair. Specifically, we target the interaction of hydrofluorocarbon refrigerants with MOF/COP materials at a molecular level by interpreting the host-guest chemistry and the role of framework pore topology. These molecular-level differences translate to cooling performance, which is described herein. These strategies include engineering framework porosity (i.e., pore size, pore volume) by using elongated organic linkers and stereochemistry control during synthesis; manipulating the sorbate/sorbent interaction by introducing functional moieties or unsaturated metal centers to enhance working capacities in narrow pressure ranges; varying pore topology/morphology to impact adsorption isotherm behavior; and leveraging defective sites within the frameworks to further enhance adsorption capability. This atomic level understanding of sorbate-sorbent interactions is conducted using various in situ experimental techniques such as synchrotron-based X-ray diffraction, X-ray absorption spectroscopy, in situ Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and direct sorption energies determinization with calorimetry. Moreover, the experimentally studied interactions and the corresponding adsorption mechanism are corroborated by computational studies using density functional theory (DFT) and grand canonical Monte Carlo (GCMC) simulations. Using this approach, we have made strides toward engineering designed frameworks with precise molecular control to target refrigerant molecules and thereby enhance the performance of desired working pairs for sorption-based cooling.
