Abstract
Efficient conversion of cellulose to glucose is a crucial challenge for the energy and materialization of non-food biomass. Solid acids' adsorption strength is essential to affecting mass transfer efficiency. In this study, solid acids with different particle sizes (from 0.25 to 10.10 μm) modified with -OH and -PO3H2 were obtained by hydrothermal method. Hydrolysis of cellulose at 180 °C for 4 h revealed that the particle size of the solid acids was directly proportional to the cellulose conversion (R2 = 0.925). Still, there was no significant correlation with the glucose yield (R2 = 0.632). Eventually, the cellulose conversion reached 98.9 %, with a 30 % glucose yield. The solid acids demonstrated good stability and recoverability. This study fills the gap in the influence of solid acid particle size and reveals the mechanism of strong adsorptive mass transfer and hydrolysis efficiency. It provides the theoretical basis for the design of high-performance solid acids.

Abstract
In the push to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050, nuclear power will play an essential role alongside renewable wind and solar power, and correspondingly global interest and investment in this well-established technology is accelerating. The uranium present in seawater could support nuclear power generation for centuries, but traditional adsorptive separation strategies have proven ineffective for the selective extraction of uranium from this vast resource. Here, we report the synthesis of nanowires of a triazine-linked two-dimensional covalent organic framework via a solvent modulation approach, which can be used to access nanowire external diameters ranging from 50 to 200 nm. The 100 nm nanowires are exceptionally promising for the capture of uranium(VI) via photocatalytic reduction. Under simulated sunlight and without the use of sacrificial agents, the nanowires achieve a uranium uptake of 10.9 g/g from a 100 ppm uranyl(VI) solution, which is the highest reported to date among materials studied for photo and electrocatalytic uranium capture. Significantly, these nanowires exhibit a uranium adsorption capacity of 34.5 mg/g after exposure to seawater under irradiation for 42 days, a record among all materials reported to date for uranium capture.

Abstract
The current bottleneck in the development of efficient photocatalysts for hydrogen evolution is the limited availability of high-performance acceptor units. Over the past nine years, dibenzo[b,d]thiophene sulfone (DBS) has been the preferred choice for the acceptor unit. Despite extensive exploration of alternative structures as potential replacements for DBS, a superior substitute remains elusive. In this study, a symmetry-breaking strategy was employed on DBS to develop a novel acceptor unit, BBTT-1SO. The asymmetric structure of BBTT-1SO proved beneficial for increasing multiple moment and polarizability. BBTT-1SO-containing polymers showed higher efficiencies for hydrogen evolution than their DBS-containing counterparts by up to 166 %. PBBTT-1SO exhibited an excellent hydrogen evolution rate (HER) of 222.03 mmol g-1 h-1 and an apparent quantum yield of 27.5 % at 500 nm. Transient spectroscopic studies indicated that the BBTT-1SO-based polymers facilitated electron polaron formation, which explains their superior HERs. PBBTT-1SO also showed 14 % higher HER in natural seawater splitting than that in deionized water splitting. Molecular dynamics simulations highlighted the enhanced water-PBBTT-1SO polymer interactions in salt-containing solutions. This study presents a pioneering example of a substitute acceptor unit for DBS in the construction of high-performance photocatalysts for hydrogen evolution.

Abstract
In recent years, the energy generated by the salinity gradient has become a subject of growing interest as a source of renewable energy. One of the most widely used processes is reverse electrodialysis (RED), based on the use of ion exchange membranes and Faradaic electrodes. However, the use of real salt solutions containing mixtures of divalent and monovalent ions in the RED process results in a significant loss of recovered power, compared with salt solutions containing only monovalent ions. From an original point of view, in this work we study and explain the influence of divalent ions and complex solutions in reverse electrodialysis devices equipped with capacitive electrodes with a single membrane (CREDSM). We show that CREDSM mitigates the impact of divalent ions. From a quantitative point of view, the power recovered in a Faradaic cell drops by more than 75 % when the solutions contain 50 % molar fraction of divalent ions and by 33 % when the solutions contain 10 % molar fraction of divalent ions. For similar low-cost membranes with fairly low selectivity, recovered power drops by only 34 % when solutions contain 60 % moles of divalent ions in CREDSM. We show that only the membrane potential, which makes up half of the cell's open circuit potential, is affected. The potential of capacitive electrodes which counts for half of the potential cell does not decrease in the presence of divalents. For the same membrane under the same conditions, we estimate a loss of 62 % in a RED device Furthermore, the membrane is not poisoned by divalent ions because we periodically change the electrical current direction, by means of switching the feed waters. CREDSM devices do not show any variation in membrane resistance or membrane selectivity. The techno-economic analysis suggests further valorization of salinity gradients in industrial operations.

Abstract
The urgent need for field detection of uranium in seawater is 2-fold: to provide prompt guidance for uranium extraction and to prevent human exposure to nuclear radiation. However, current methods for this purpose are largely hindered by bulky instrumentation, high costs of developed materials, and severe matrix interferences, which limit their further application in the field. Herein, we demonstrated a portable and label-free strategy for the field detection of uranyl in seawater based on the efficient photocleavage of DNA. Further experiments confirmed the generation of ultraviolet (UV) light-induced reactive oxygen species (ROS), such as O2•- and •OH, which fragmented oligomeric DNA in the presence of uranyl and UV light. Detailed studies showed that DNA significantly enhances uranyl absorption in the UV-visible region, leading to the generation of more ROS. A fluorescence system for the selective detection of uranyl in seawater was established by immobilizing two complementary oligonucleotides with the fluorescent dye SYBR Green I. The strategy of UV-induced photocleavage offers high selectivity, excellent interference immunity, and high sensitivity for uranyl, with a detection limit of 6.8 nM. Additionally, the fluorescence can be visually detected using a 3D-printed miniaturized device integrated with a smartphone. This method has been successfully applied to the on-site detection of uranyl in seawater in 18 Chinese coastal cities and along the coast of Hainan Island within 3 min for a single sample. The sample testing and field analysis results indicate that this strategy has promising potential for real-time monitoring of trace uranyl in China's coastal waters. It is expected to be utilized for the rapid assessment of nuclear contamination and nuclear engineering construction.

Abstract
A universal approach for enhancing water affinity in polymer photocatalysts by covalently attaching hydrophilic photocrosslinkers to polymer chains is presented. A series of bisdiazirine photocrosslinkers, each comprising bisdiazirine photophores linked by various aliphatic (CL-R) or ethylene glycol-based bridge chains (CL-TEG), is designed to prevent crosslinked polymer photocatalysts from degradation through a safe and efficient photocrosslinking reaction at a wavelength of 365 nm. When employing the hydrophilic CL-TEG as a photocrosslinker with polymer photocatalysts (F8BT), the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) rate is considerably enhanced by 2.5-fold compared to that obtained using non-crosslinked F8BT photocatalysts, whereas CL-R-based photocatalysts yield HER rates comparable to those of non-crosslinked counterparts. Photophysical analyses including time-resolved photoluminescence and transient absorption measurements reveal that adding CL-TEG accelerates exciton separation, forming long-lived charge carriers. Additionally, the in-depth study using molecular dynamics simulations elucidates the dual role of CL-TEG: it enhances water penetration into the polymer matrix and stabilizes charge carriers after exciton generation against undesirable recombination. Therefore, the strategy highlights endowing a high-permittivity environment within polymer photocatalyst in a controlled manner is crucial for enhancing photocatalytic redox reactivity. Furthermore, this study shows that this hydrophilic crosslinker approach has a broad applicability in general polymer semiconductors and their nanoparticulate photocatalysts.

Abstract
The research pertaining to solid waste is undergoing extensive advancement, thereby necessitating a consolidation and analysis of its research trajectories. The existing biblio-studies on solid waste research (SWR) lack thorough analyses of the factors influencing its trends. This article presents an innovative categorization framework that categorizes publications from six SWR journals utilizing Source Latent Dirichlet Allocation. First analyse changes in publication numbers across main categories, subcategories, journals, and regions, providing a macro-level study of SWR. Temporal analysis of keywords supplements a micro-level study of SWR, which highlights that emerging technologies with low Technology Readiness Level receive significant attention, while studies on widespread technologies are diminishing. Additionally, this study demonstrates the substantial influence of socioeconomic factors and previous SWR publications on current and future SWR trends. Finally, the article confirms the impact of global events on SWR trends by examining the structural breakpoints of SWR and their correlation with global events.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOF)-polymer hybrid hydrogel solves the processable forming of MOF powder and energy consumption of uranium extraction. However, the hybrid hydrogel by conventional synthesis methods inevitably lead to MOF agglomeration, poor filler-polymer interfacial compatibility and slowly adsorption. Herein, we designed that ZIF-67 was implanted into the carboxymethyl cellulose/polyacrylamide (CMC/PAM) by network-repairing strategy. The carboxyl and amino groups on the surface of CMC/PAM drive the uniform growth of ZIF-67 inside the CMC/PAM, which form an array of oriented and penetrating microchannels through coordination bonds. Our strategy eliminate the ZIF-67 agglomeration, increase the interfacial compatibility between MOF and polymer. The method also improve the free and fast diffusion of uranium in CMC/PAM/ZIF-67 hydrogel. According to the experimental, these enhancements synergistically enabled the CMC/PAM/ZIF-67 have a maximum adsorption capacity of 952 mg g-1. The adsorption process of CMC/PAM/ZIF-67 fits well with pseudo-second-order model and Langmuir isotherm. Meanwhile, the CMC/PAM/ZIF-67 maintain a high removal rate (87.3 %) and chemical stability even during ten adsorption-desorption cycles. It is worth noting that the adsorption amount of CMC/PAM/ZIF-67 in real seawater is 9.95 mg g-1 after 20 days, which is an ideal candidate adsorbent for uranium extraction from seawater.

SMALL (WEINHEIM AN DER BERGSTRASSE, GERMANY) 2024; 20:e2308823.

Abstract
The chemical inertness of CO2 molecules makes their adsorption and activation on a catalyst surface one of the key challenges in recycling CO2 into chemical fuels. However, the traditional template synthesis and chemical modification strategies used to tackle this problem face severe structural collapse and modifier deactivation issues during the often-needed post-processing procedure. Herein, a CO2 self-selective hydrothermal growth strategy is proposed for the synthesis of CeO2 octahedral nanocrystals that participate in strong physicochemical interactions with CO2 molecules. The intense affinity for CO2 molecules persists during successive high-temperature treatments required for Ni deposition. This demonstrates the excellent structural heredity of the CO2 self-selective CeO2 nanocrystals, which leads to an outstanding photothermal CH4 productivity exceeding 9 mmol h-1 mcat -2 and an impressive selectivity of >99%. The excellent performance is correlated with the abundant oxygen vacancies and hydroxyl species on the CeO2 surface, which create many frustrated Lewis-pair active sites, and the strong interaction between Ni and CeO2 that promotes the dissociation of H2 molecules and the spillover of H atoms, thereby greatly benefitting the photothermal CO2 methanation reaction. This self-selective hydrothermal growth strategy represents a new pathway for the development of effective catalysts for targeted chemical reactions.

Abstract
Yolk-shell-structured transition metal sulfides (TMSs)/carbon nanocomposites are highly desirable in advanced energy storage system, such as sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) and supercapacitors (SCs). Nevertheless, practical applications are still prevented by the loose attachment of TMSs with carbon caused by conversion stress, the aggregation of TMSs nanoparticles and the sluggish ion transport caused by high crystallinity of carbon. Here, the disperse hollow Co9S8 nanoparticles encapsulated into N,S-codoped carbon nanotubes (CNTs) with poor crystallinity through CoNC bond was synthesized (CS-NSCNT) to overcome the above obstacles. The designed CS-NSCNT can provide the short diffusion path and prevent the huge volume expansion of conversion reaction. Moreover, the established CoNC bond endows the strong interaction and regulates the electronic structure thus promote the stability and rate performance effectively. The CS-NSCNT SCs's electrode delivers a high specific capacitance of 1150 F g-1 at 1 A g-1, with a high cycling life stability and rate performance. For SIBs, the CS-NSCNT cathode demonstrates an initial reversible capacity of 475 mAh g-1 at 0.1 A g-1 and an excellent rate performance with a capacity retention of 53 % at 10 A g-1. This work may satisfy the long-stability, high-capacitance/capacity, high-power/energy density application requirements of future applications.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have garnered attention across various fields due to their noteworthy features like high specific surface area, substantial porosity, and adjustable performance. In the realm of water treatment, MOFs exhibit great potential for eliminating pollutants such as organics, heavy metals, and oils. Nonetheless, the inherent powder characteristics of MOFs pose challenges in terms of recycling, pipeline blockage, and even secondary pollution in practical applications. Addressing these issues, the incorporation of MOFs into sponges proves to be an effective solution. Strategies like one-pot synthesis, in situ growth, and impregnation are commonly employed for loading MOFs onto sponges. This review comprehensively explores the synthesis strategies of MOFs and sponges, along with their applications in water treatment, aiming to contribute to the ongoing advancement of MOF materials.

Abstract
The harvesting of salinity gradient energy through a capacitive double-layer expansion (CDLE) technique is directly associated with ion adsorption and desorption in electrodes. Herein, we show that energy extraction can be modulated by regulating ion adsorption/desorption through water flow. The flow effects on the output energy, capacitance, and energy density under practical conditions are systematically investigated from a theoretical perspective, upon which the optimal operating condition is identified for energy extraction. We demonstrate that the net charge accumulation displays a negative correlation with the water flow velocity and so does the surface charge density, and this causes a nontrivial variation in the magnitude of output energy when water flows are introduced. When high water flows are introduced in both the charging and discharging processes, the energy extraction can be significantly reduced by 47.69-49.32%. However, when a high flow is solely exerted in the discharging process, the energy extraction can be enhanced by 12.94-14.49% even at low operation voltages. This study not only offers a comprehensive understanding of the microscopic mechanisms of surface-engineered energy extraction with water flows but also provides a novel direction for energy extraction enhancement.

Abstract
Incorporating sulfur (S) atoms into polymer main chains endows these materials with many attractive features, including a high refractive index, mechanical properties, electrochemical properties, and adhesive ability to heavy metal ions. The copolymerization involving S-containing monomers constitutes a facile method for effectively constructing S-containing polymers with diverse structures, readily tunable sequences, and topological structures. In this review, we describe the recent advances in the synthesis of S-containing polymers via copolymerization or multicomponent polymerization techniques concerning a variety of S-containing monomers, such as dithiols, carbon disulfide, carbonyl sulfide, cyclic thioanhydrides, episulfides and elemental sulfur (S8). Particularly, significant focus is paid to precise control of the main-chain sequence, stereochemistry, and topological structure for achieving high-value applications.

Abstract
Uranium extraction from seawater is a potential technique that will change the world. Adsorption capacity, selectivity, and antibacterial ability for high-performance uranium adsorbents remain the major challenges. In this study, a dual-ligand zeolitic imidazolate framework 8 (ZIF-8) decorated with cyano groups (ZIF-8-CN) is prepared via a facile blend strategy at room temperature. Owing to the abundant mesopores and nitrogen functional groups, ZIF-8-CN shows an extremely high uranium uptake of 1000 mg/g at pH = 6, which is 2.42 times that of pristine ZIF-8. Noteworthily, ZIF-8-CN possesses a 16.2 mg/g uranium adsorption in natural seawater within 28 days, and the distribution coefficient (Kd = 3.25 × 106 mL/g) is far greater than that for other coexisting metal ions, demonstrating a marked preference for uranyl ions. Except for the coordination between uranium and nitrogen in imidazole, the cyano groups provide additional adsorption sites and preferentially bind to uranyl, thereby strengthening the affinity for uranyl. Notably, ZIF-8-CN displays ultrastrong antimicrobial ability against both Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus, which is greatly desired for the scale-up marine tests. Our study demonstrates the high potential of ZIF-8-CN in uranium capture and provides a wide scope for the application of mixed-ligand MOFs.

Abstract
Blue energy refers to the osmotic energy released while combining solutions of different salinity. Recently, single-membrane-based capacitive reverse electrodialysis cells were developed for blue energy harvesting. The performance of these cells is limited by the low ion-electron flux transfer efficiency of the capacitive electrodes in the current operating regimes. To optimize it, we point out an original boosting strategy of using a secondary voltage source E0 placed in series with the capacitive concentration cell. The net recovered power is defined as the difference between the power dissipated in the load resistor and the power supplied by the secondary voltage. Experimental results indicate a maximum power density of 5.26 W·m-2 (where the salinity difference is 0.17 and 5.13 M), which corresponds to a 59.8% increase compared with its power density of 3.29 W·m-2 without boosting strategy. A good agreement on power density is reached for theoretical simulations and experimental results. Influential factors are systematically studied to further reveal the boosting strategy.

Abstract
Inspired by natural photosynthesis, two-dimensional van der Waals (vdW) heterostructures are considered as promising photocatalysts for solar-driven water splitting and they attract ever-growing interest. A type-II vdW hetero-photocatalyst (CdTe/B4C3) integrating the polarized CdTe into metal-free B4C3 was constructed, which could achieve solar-driven spontaneous overall water splitting at pH = 0-7 and exhibit a high solar-to-hydrogen (STH) efficiency of 19.64%. Our calculation results show that the interlayer interaction between the CdTe and B4C3 monolayers in the heterostructure creates an interfacial electric field enhanced by the intrinsic dipole of polarized CdTe, which accelerates the effective separation of photogenerated carriers and makes the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) take place separately on the B4C3 and CdTe layers. Furthermore, the CdTe/B4C3 heterostructure has decent band edge positions to promote the redox reaction to decompose water due to the significant electrostatic potential difference in the CdTe/B4C3 heterostructure and it could trigger spontaneous redox reaction under light at pH = 0-7. This work is helpful for us to design type-II heterojunction photocatalysts with high efficiency of photogenerated carrier separation for overall water splitting.

Abstract
The photoreduction of carbon dioxide (CO2) into renewable synthetic fuels is an attractive approach for generating alternative energy feedstocks that may compete with and eventually displace fossil fuels. However, it is challenging to accurately trace the products of CO2 photoreduction on account of the poor conversion efficiency of these reactions and the imperceptible introduced carbon contamination. Isotope-tracing experiments have been used to solve this problem, but they frequently yield false-positive results because of improper experimental execution and, in some cases, insufficient rigor. Thus, it is imperative that accurate and effective strategies for evaluating various potential products of CO2 photoreduction are developed for the field. Herein, we experimentally demonstrate that the contemporary approach toward isotope-tracing experiments in CO2 photoreduction is not necessarily rigorous. Several examples of where pitfalls and misunderstandings arise, consequently making isotope product traceability difficult, are demonstrated. Further, we develop and describe standard guidelines for isotope-tracing experiments in CO2 photoreduction reactions and then verify the procedure using some reported photoreduction systems.

Ligand-Assistant Iced Photocatalytic Reduction to Synthesize Atomically Dispersed Cu Implanted Metal-Organic Frameworks for Photo-Enhanced Uranium Extraction from Seawater. SMALL (WEINHEIM AN DER BERGSTRASSE, GERMANY) 2023:e2208002.

Abstract
Uranium extraction from natural seawater is one of the most promising routes to address the shortage of uranium resources. By combination of ligand complexation and photocatalytic reduction, porous framework-based photocatalysts have been widely applied to uranium enrichment. However, their practical applicability is limited by poor photocatalytic activity and low adsorption capacity. Herein, atomically dispersed Cu implanted UiO-66-NH2 (Cu SA@UiO-66-NH2 ) photocatalysts are prepared via ligand-assistant iced photocatalytic reduction route. N-Cu-N moiety acts as an effective electron acceptor to potentially facilitate charge transfer kinetics. By contrast, there exist Cu sub-nanometer clusters by the typical liquid phase photoreduction, resulting in a relatively low photocatalytic activity. Cu SA@UiO-66-NH2 adsorbents exhibit superior antibacterial ability and improved photoreduction conversion of the adsorbed U(VI) to insoluble U(IV), leading to a high uranium sorption capacity of 9.16 mg-U/g-Ads from natural seawater. This study provides new insight for enhancing uranium uptake by designing SA-mediated MOF photocatalysts.

Abstract
Direct air capture (DAC) is important for achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. However, the ultradilute atmospheric CO2 concentration (~400 parts per million) poses a formidable hurdle for high CO2 capture capacities using sorption-desorption processes. Here, we present a Lewis acid-base interaction-derived hybrid sorbent with polyamine-Cu(II) complex enabling over 5.0 mol of CO2 capture/kg sorbent, nearly two to three times greater capacity than most of the DAC sorbents reported to date. The hybrid sorbent, such as other amine-based sorbents, is amenable to thermal desorption at less than 90°C. In addition, seawater was validated as a viable regenerant, and the desorbed CO2 is simultaneously sequestered as innocuous, chemically stable alkalinity (NaHCO3). The dual-mode regeneration offers unique flexibility and facilitates using oceans as decarbonizing sinks to widen DAC application opportunities.

Abstract
It has been considered challenging to develop ideal adsorbents for efficient and lower adsorption time uranium extraction, especially 3D covalent organic frameworks with interpenetrating topologies and tunable porous structures. Here, a "soft" three-dimensional (3D) covalent organic framework (TAM-DHBD) with a fivefold interpenetrating structure is prepared as a novel porous platform for the efficient extraction of radioactive uranium. The resultant TAM-DHBD appears exceptional crystallinity, prominent porosity and excellent chemical stability. Based on the strong mutual coordination between phenolic-hydroxyl/imine-N on the main chain and uranium, TAM-DHBD can effectively avert the competition of other ions, showing high selectivity for uranium extraction. Impressively, the 3D ultra-hydrophilic transport channels and multi-directional uniform pore structure of TAM-DHBD lay the foundation for the ultra-high-speed diffusion of uranium (the adsorption equilibrium can be reached within 60 min under a high-concentration environment). Furthermore, the utilization of lightweight structure not only increases the adsorption site density, but renders the adsorption process flexible, achieving a breakthrough adsorption capacity of 1263.8 mg g-1. This work not only highlights new opportunities for designing microporous 3D COFs, but paves the way for the practical application of 3D COFs for uranium adsorption.

Abstract
This study examines the impact of information and communication technologies (ICT), GDP growth, population, and globalization on the environmental quality of 31 Asian economies (i.e., categorized as lower middle-income, upper middle-income, and high-income groups Asian economies). This analysis employed the time series data from 1990 to 2018. The robust second-generation econometric technologies are used in this analysis. This study applied the Environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) premises under the extended "STIRPAT model" to add population and GDP (per capita) and information technologies (ICTs) by employing ecological footprint. To estimate, the estimators of this study used the CS-ARDL estimates, and for robustness check, this study used the augmented mean group (AMG) test. The co-integration test found the long-run association between ecological footprint and its main determinants. The results of CS-ARDL have confirmed the imperative role of information technologies in mitigating the ecological footprint in the higher, upper-middle, and lower-middle-income economies of Asian economies. The statistical findings of this study are robust to diagnostic tests and alternative estimation proxies and techniques. Moreover, policymakers need to identify the direction of the information technology-ecological footprint nexus through cooperation in combating climate change with financial assistance in the ICT sector.

Abstract
Uranium extraction from seawater (UES), a potential approach to securing the long-term uranium supply and sustainability of nuclear energy, has experienced significant progress in the past decade. Promising adsorbents with record-high capacities have been developed by diverse innovative synthetic strategies, and scale-up marine field tests have been put forward by several countries. However, significant challenges remain in terms of the adsorbents' properties in complex marine environments, deployment methods, and the economic viability of current UES systems. This review presents an up-to-date overview of the latest advancements in the UES field, highlighting new insights into the mechanistic basis of UES and the methodologies towards the function-oriented development of uranium adsorbents with high adsorption capacity, selectivity, biofouling resistance, and durability. A distinctive emphasis is placed on emerging electrochemical and photochemical strategies that have been employed to develop efficient UES systems. The most recent achievements in marine tests by the major countries are summarized. Challenges and perspectives related to the fundamental, technical, and engineering aspects of UES are discussed. This review is envisaged to inspire innovative ideas and bring technical solutions towards the development of technically and economically viable UES systems.

Abstract
Argyrodite solid electrolytes such as lithium phosphorus sulfur chloride (Li6PS5Cl) have recently attracted great attention due to their excellent lithium-ion transport properties, which are applicable to all-solid-state lithium batteries. In this study, we report the improved ionic conductivity of an argyrodite solid electrolyte, Li6PS5Cl, in all-solid-state lithium batteries via the co-doping of chlorine (Cl) and aluminum (Al) elements. Electrochemical analysis was conducted on the doped argyrodite structure of Li6PS5Cl, which revealed that the substitution of cations and anions greatly improved the ionic conductivity of solid electrolytes. The ionic conductivity of the Cl- and Al-doped Li6PS5Cl (Li5.4Al0.1PS4.7Cl1.3) electrolyte was 7.29 × 10-3 S cm-1 at room temperature, which is 4.7 times higher than that of Li6PS5Cl. The Arrhenius plot of the Li5.4Al0.1PS4.7Cl1.3 electrolyte further elucidated its low activation energy at 0.09 eV.

Abstract
The objective of this paper is to analyse the relationship between income inequality and environmental innovation. To this end, we use the Economic Fitness and Complexity algorithm to compute an index of green inventive capacity in a panel of 57 countries over the period 1970-2010. The empirical analysis reveals that, on average, inequality is detrimental to countries' capacity to develop complex green technologies. Using non-parametric methods we further articulate this general finding and uncover interesting non-linearities in the relationship between innovation and inequality.

Abstract
Radioactive iodine (129I and 131I), produced or released from nuclear-related activities, posed severe effects on both human health and environment. The efficient removal of radioiodine from aqueous medium and vapor phase is of paramount importance for the sustainable development of nuclear energy. Herein, a metal-organic framework (MOF) nanosheet with a positive charge was constructed for the capture of iodine for the first time. The as-synthesized ultrathin nanosheets, with a thickness of 4.4 ± 0.1 nm, showed a record-high iodine adsorption capacity (3704.08 mg g-1) from aqueous solution, which is even higher than that from the vapor phase (3510.05 mg g-1). It can be ascribed to the fully interactions between the extensive accessible active sites on the largely exposed surface of 2D MOF nanosheets and the target pollutants, which also gave rise to fast adsorption kinetics with relative high removal efficiencies in the low concentrations, even in seawater. Moreover, a facile recyclability with fast desorption kinetics can also be achieved for the MOF nanosheets. The excellent iodine removal performance in aqueous solution demonstrated that the electrostatic attraction between MOF nanosheets with a positive charge and the negatively charged triiodide (I3-, the dominant form of iodine in aqueous solution) is the driving force in adsorption, which endows the adsorbents with the characteristics of fast adsorption and desorption kinetics. The adsorption mechanism was systematically verified by the studies of ζ potential, Fourier transform infrared, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and Raman spectra.

Abstract
Fluorescent colorimetric test strips normally have a narrow dynamic detection-range due to the limited responsive range from single responsive materials, which cannot meet the wide detection requirement in practical applications. Herein, we developed an approach to detect uranyl ions (UO22+) with a broad detection range using the synthesized ZnS:Mn quantum dots (QDs) modified Zn2GeO4 nanoellipsoids (Zn2GeO4 @ZnS:Mn NEs), containing two responsive materials with the opposite signal responses at different UO22+ concentrations. Specifically, a red to chocolate color change was observed at low analyte concentrations (0.01-100 μM) resulting from the photoinduced electron transfer effect from ZnS:Mn QDs to UO22+. A sequentially olive drab to green color change has been observed when further increasing the UO22+ concentration (100-1000 μM) as a result of the antenna effect between Zn2GeO4 nanoellipsoids and UO22+. In addition, a low-cost and portable fluorescent test strip has been further fabricated through embedding Zn2GeO4 @ZnS:Mn NEs on a microporous structure membrane, demonstrating a facile yet effective colorimetric response to UO22+ in lab water, lake water, and seawater with a wide dynamic range. Therefore, it is potentially attractive for real-time and on-site detection of UO22+ in sudden-onset situations.

Abstract
The influence of defects on quantitative carrier dynamics is still unclear. Therefore, full-spectrum responsive metallic ZnIn2S4 (VIn-rich-ZIS) rich in indium vacancies and exhibiting high CO2 photoreduction efficiency was synthesized for the first time. The influence of the defects on the carrier dynamic parameters was studied quantitatively; the results showed that the minority carrier diffusion length (LD) is closely related to the catalytic performance. In situ infrared spectroscopy and theoretical calculations revealed that the presence of indium vacancies lowers the energy barrier for CO2 to CO conversion via the COOH* intermediate. Hence, the high rate of CO evolution reaches 298.0 μmol g-1 h-1, a nearly 28-fold enhancement over that with ZnIn2S4 (VIn-poor-ZIS), which is not rich in indium vacancies. This work fills the gaps between the catalytic performance of defective photocatalysts and their carrier dynamics and may offer valuable insight for understanding the mechanism of photocatalysis and designing more efficient defective photocatalysts.

Abstract
Lignin is quickly emerging as a biomass-derived source for the production of some crucial organic chemistry building blocks, typically obtained from unsustainable and non-renewable petroleum feedstocks. As a complex polymer, lignin characterization is often challenging, due to its random structure and multitudes of different repeating substructures. Over the last 20 years, advances in our understanding and processing of lignin, as well as important work on its characterization using 31P NMR, have led to numerous publications highlighting the many potential uses for this material. With the emergence of high-resolution benchtop NMR instruments, these types of analyses can now be accessed by many laboratories and industries that have historically not been able to take advantage of NMR due to cost or size constraints. Herein, we demonstrate that benchtop NMR is a viable technique for the 31P NMR analysis of lignin and compare our results to those obtained on a traditional high-field instrument.

Abstract
Today, the growing Asia-Pacific population causes a dramatic growth in energy supply to meet energy demand. The rapid rise in energy demand is causing concern in the region. Thus, the present study scrutinizes the effect of energy policy involvement in steering-up renewable energy development by empirically assessing the role of policy instruments in encouraging residential-scale and commercial-scale photovoltaic (PV) systems. The analysis is performed using a fixed effects estimator on a selected range of policy approaches (market-pull policies and tax incentives) and a technology-push policy (capital grants) in selected Asia-Pacific countries between 1998 and 2015. The return on investment is estimated to measure the incentives of feed-in tariff (FIT) tariff policies for both residential-scale and commercial-scale PV systems. This study has shown the importance of a strategic combination between technology-push and market-pull policies as complementary to adopting technology and increasing renewable energy utilization for solar PV systems on a residential scale. Investigations into the effectiveness of regulatory support policies for solar PV systems indicate that energy policies are necessary to facilitate solar PV growth on a residential scale in the Asia-Pacific.

Abstract
The attention that high solids anaerobic digestion process (HS-AD) has received over the years, as a waste management and energy recovery process when compared to low solids anaerobic digestion process, can be attributed to its associated benefits including water conservation and smaller digester foot print. However, high solid content of the feedstock involved in the digestion process poses a barrier to the process stability and performance if it is not well managed. In this review, various limitations to effective performance of the HS-AD process, as well as, the possible measures highlighted in various research studies were garnered to serve as a guide for effective industrial application of this technology. A proposed design concept for overcoming substrate and product inhibition thereby improving methane yield and process stability was recommended for optimum performance of the HS-AD process.

Abstract
A conjugated polymer particle in an aqueous phase is covalently networked in 3D by crosslinking with azide groups, leading to significantly enhanced activity-a high photocatalytic H2 evolution rate (11 024 µmol g-1 h-1 (λ > 420 nm)) and a high apparent quantum yield (up to 0.8%). The reaction between the photoactive azide and the alkyl chains of the conjugated polymer provides more intact intermolecular polymeric interactions in the colloidal state, thus preventing physical swelling and inhibiting the recombination of photoproduced carriers. The covalent network efficiently promotes exciton diffusion, which greatly facilitates charge separation and transfer. The azide photo-crosslinking also leads to more compact and better-packed nanoparticles in the aqueous phase and efficient transfer of excitons to the outer surface of the nanoparticles, where photocatalytic reactions occur. These results show that photo-crosslinking can suppress the adverse effects of alkyl chains which inhibit photocatalytic performance. Therefore, covalent crosslinking is a promising strategy for the development of solar and hydrogen energy.

Abstract
The capture of the xenon and krypton from nuclear reprocessing off-gas is essential to the treatment of radioactive waste. Although various porous materials have been employed to capture Xe and Kr, the development of high-performance adsorbents capable of trapping Xe/Kr at very low partial pressure as in the nuclear reprocessing off-gas conditions remains challenging. Herein, we report a self-adjusting metal-organic framework based on multiple weak binding interactions to capture trace Xe and Kr from the nuclear reprocessing off-gas. The self-adjusting behavior of ATC-Cu and its mechanism have been visualized by the in-situ single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies and theoretical calculations. The self-adjusting behavior endows ATC-Cu unprecedented uptake capacities of 2.65 and 0.52 mmol g-1 for Xe and Kr respectively at 0.1 bar and 298 K, as well as the record Xe capture capability from the nuclear reprocessing off-gas. Our work not only provides a benchmark Xe adsorbent but proposes a new route to construct smart materials for efficient separations.

Abstract
The detection of environmental uranyl is attracting increasing attention. However, the available detection strategies mainly depend on the selective recognition of uranyl, which is subject to severe interference by coexisting metal ions. Herein, based on the unique uranyl-triggered photocleavage property, the protein BSA is labelled with fluorescent molecules that exhibit an aggregation-induced emission effect for uranyl detection. Uranyl-triggered photocleavage causes the separation of the fluorescent-molecule-labelled protein fragments, leading to attenuation of the emission fluorescence, which is used as a signal for uranyl detection. This detection strategy shows high selectivity for uranyl and an ultralow detection limit of 24 pM with a broad detection range covering five orders of magnitude. The detection method also shows high reliability and stability, making it a promising technique for practical applications in diverse environments.

Abstract
Heterogeneous atoms substitution is an efficient method for promoting Li+ storage of transition metal oxides. Herein, a series of Fe-substituted MnO solid solutions with different Fe contents are synthesized by a feasible solid-phase method. The synergistic effects between heterogeneous atoms and rich vacancies are synchronously obtained, which hold distinctive electronic structures and substantial active sites. When optimized Mn0.55 Fe0.45 O solid solution as anodes for lithium-ion batteries, pre-prepared electrodes exhibit reversible lithium storage of 1286.9 mAh g-1 at 1 A g -1 after 400 cycles and even 628.1 mAh g-1 at 2 A g-1 after 1000 cycles. The LiCoO2 //Mn0.55 Fe0.45 O full cells are assembled, achieving the reversible capacity of 130.2 and 111.3 mAh g-1 after 150 cycles at 0.1 and 0.2 A g-1 , respectively. Density functional theory calculations also authenticate that the electrochemical activity can be markedly boosted by the heterogeneous atoms substituted Mn1 -x Fex O solid solution.

Abstract
The fermentation production of platform chemicals in biorefineries is a sustainable alternative to the current petroleum refining process. The natural advantages of Corynebacterium glutamicum in carbon metabolism have led to C. glutamicum being used as a microbial cell factory that can use various biomass to produce value-added platform chemicals and polymers. In this review, we discussed the use of C. glutamicum surface display engineering bacteria in the three generations of biorefinery resources, and analyzed the C. glutamicum engineering display system in degradation, transport, and metabolic network reconstruction models. These engineering modifications show that the C. glutamicum engineering display system has great potential to become a cell refining factory based on sustainable biomass, and further optimizes the inherent properties of C. glutamicum as a whole-cell biocatalyst. This review will also provide a reference for the direction of future engineering transformation.

Abstract
Modification of kraft lignin (KL), traditionally uses harsh and energy-demanding physical and chemical processes. In this study, the potential of the bacterial laccase CotA (spore coating protein A) for oxidation of KL under mild conditions was assessed. Thereby, the efficiency of CotA to oxidize both softwood and hardwood KL of varying purity at alkaline conditions was examined. For the respective type of wood, the highest oxidation activity by CotA was determined for the medium ash content softwood KL (MA_S) and the medium ash content hardwood KL (MA_H), respectively. By an up to 95% decrease in fluorescence and up to 65% in phenol content coupling of the structural lignin units was indicated. These results correlated with an increase in viscosity and molecular weight, which increased nearly 2 and 20-fold for MA_H and about 1.3 and 6.0-fold for MA_S, respectively. Thus, this study confirms that the CotA laccase can oxidize a variety of KL at alkaline conditions, while the origin and purity of KL were found to have a major impact on the efficiency of oxidation. Under the herein tested conditions, it was observed that the MA_H KL showed the highest susceptibility to CotA oxidation when compared to the other hardwood KLs and the softwood KLs. Therefore, this could be a viable method to produce sustainable resins and adhesives.
