    Abstract Overuse of plastic products has caused serious hazards to ecological environment, and effective technologies were needed urgently to overcome the drawbacks of existing methods. Mechanisms and representative studies of physical and biological methods to dispose plastics were summarized in this review, and the advantages and disadvantages of both methods were pointed out. Physical treatment of plastics involved the extrusion or deformation of plastics, which were subsequently used in virgin plastics, construction, concrete and some composites. This disposal method was simple and non-polluting, but has limited fields of application. Biodegradation of plastics could be achieved by microorganisms (fungi, bacteria and algae) in the ecosystem, undergoing colonization, biodeterioration, biofragmentation, assimilation and mineralization, eventually converting plastics into CO₂ and H₂O. Conditions for biodegrading plastics were mild and products were non-polluting, but the process was very slow. From the results, single method for treating plastics has certain limitations, and combining different methods has become hot topic of study. Such as the combination of physical and chemical methods could improve the miscibility of polymers or modify plastics to produce copolymers. Plastics could be pretreated by heat or ultrasound to reduce the hydrophobicity and activation energy of the reaction. Moreover, combining biodegradation and photodegradation of plastics was also an effective way to improve the degradation efficiency of plastics.

    Abstract An irregular CdS pyramid/flower-like MoS₂ microsphere composite photocatalyst was successfully synthesized using a simple one-step hydrothermal method. The as-prepared samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, ultraviolet visible absorption spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy and photoelectrochemical tests. The composite photocatalysts showed superior photocatalytic activities for hydrogen evolution from water under visible light irradiation (λ ≥ 420 nm) with an extremely high apparent quantum yield (AQY = 64.8%) at 420 nm. To our knowledge, this value is the highest reported efficiency value for CdS/MoS₂ photocatalysts. Further detailed characterization revealed that the special structure for some CdS pyramid structures dispersed in the MoS₂ microsphere structures and surrounded by MoS₂ nanosheets led to the photogenerated electrons migrating from the conduction band of different faces of the CdS pyramid to the conduction band of different MoS₂ nanosheets while photogenerated holes remained in the CdS pyramid structures, which greatly promoted the separation of photogenerated electrons and holes, improving the photoactivity of the CdS/MoS₂ catalyst. The catalyst also exhibited perfect stability, and the photoactivity displayed no significant degradation during continuous hydrogen production over nearly 70 h.

    Abstract Supercritical water gasification technology provides a favorable technology to achieve pollution elimination and resource utilization of phenolic wastewater. In this study, the reaction mechanism of phenolic wastewater supercritical water gasification was investigated using a combination of experimental and computational methods. Five reaction channels were identified to elucidate the underlying pathway of phenol decomposition. Importantly, the rate-determining step was found to be the dearomatization reaction. By integrating computational and experimental analyses, it was found that phenol decomposition via the path with the lowest energy barrier generates cyclopentadiene, featuring a dearomatization barrier of 70.97 kcal/mol. Additionally, supercritical water plays a catalytic role in the dearomatization process by facilitating proton transfer. Based on the obtained reaction pathway, alkali salts (Na

    Abstract Pig manure (PM) is a high concentration organic waste rich in sulfur, and its biofuel contains various sulfur-containing pollutants, which reduces the safety of the products. Supercritical water (SCW) can dissolve most organic matter, which is a technology worthy of further study. In order to reduce sulfur pollution in the process of PM resource utilization and better control the conversion path of sulfur, it is necessary to explore the migration mechanism of sulfur in the whole PM-SCW gasification process. The experimental results indicated that H

    Abstract This study investigated the mediating effect of Triethanolamine on Fe@C-Rhodobacter sphaeroides hybrid photosynthetic system to achieve efficient biohydrogen production. The biocompatible Fe@C generates excited electrons upon exposure to light, releasing ferrum for nitrogenase synthesis, and regulating the pH of the fermentation environment. Triethanolamine was introduced to optimize the electron transfer chain, thereby improving system stability, prolonging electron lifespan, and facilitating ferrum corrosion. This, in turn, stimulated the lactic acid synthetic metabolic pathway of Rhodobacter sphaeroides, resulting in increased reducing power in the biohybrid system. The ternary coupling system was analyzed through the regulation of concentration, initial pH, and light intensity. The system achieved the highest total H

    Abstract The possible role of platinum in the carbon corrosion at cell voltage higher than 1.0 V is controversial yet. To gain more insights into this issue, a square-wave potential cycles between 1.0 to 1.5 V was applied to fuel cells comprising cathodes with and without Pt. Using online non-dispersive infrared spectroscopy, we showed that Pt catalyzed the gasification of carbon in the early stage, while upon prolonged exposure to potential cycling (≥3 h), platinum started to hinder the CO
