    Abstract This study focused on the structural investigation of few-layer graphene (FLG) synthesis from bituminous coal through a catalytic process under microwave heat treatment (MW). The produced FLG has been examined by Raman spectroscopy, XRD, TEM, and AFM. Coal was activated using the potassium hydroxide activation process. The FLG synthesis processing duration was much faster requiring only 20 min under the microwave radiation. To analyse few-layer graphene samples, we considered the three bands, i.e., D, G, and 2D, of Raman spectra. At 1300 °C, the P10% Fe sample resulted in fewer defects than the other catalyst percentages sample. The catalyst percentages affected the structural change of the FLG composite materials. In addition, the Raman mapping showed that the catalyst loaded sample was homogeneously distributed and indicated a few-layer graphene sheet. In addition, the AFM technique measured the FLG thickness around 4.5 nm. Furthermore, the HRTEM images of the P10% Fe sample contained a unique morphology with 2–7 graphitic layers of graphene thin sheets. This research reported the structural revolution with latent feasibility of FLG synthesis from bituminous coal in a wide range.

    Abstract This study reports a novel method for synthesizing super-long carbon nanotubes (SL-CNTs) from cellulose via a microwave treatment process without an external catalyst. CNTs with a length of 0.7–2 mm were obtained via microwave treatment of cellulose biochar temperatures of 1200–1400 °C. Scanning electron microscope (SEM), together with high-resolution transmission electron microscope (HRTEM) results, were used to investigate the changes in the length and morphology of CNTs with respect to treatment temperature. The morphology of CNTs changed from twisted, curved, and threadlike to straight structures. The average length of CNTs after microwave pyrolysis at 600 °C was approximately 600–1800 nm, which after microwave treatment at 1300 °C and 1400 °C increased to about 1–2 mm. X-ray diffractometer (XRD) results confirmed the crystalline structure of CNTs with two prominent peaks at 2θ = 26.3° and 2θ = 43.2° correlating with the graphite (002) and (100) reflections. The I D /I G ratio obtained from Raman spectra of the CNTs decreased to the lowest value of 0.84 after microwave treatment at 1400 °C, implying a high degree of carbon order. The presence of Fe and trace amounts of other elements were confirmed by the energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometer (EDS) and were postulated to have catalyzed the growth of CNTs. The mechanism of the SL-CNTs growth under microwave treatment was proposed and discussed.

    Abstract Metal-supported few-layer graphene (FLG) was synthesized via microwave-assisted catalytic graphitization owing to the increasing demand for it and its wide applications. In this study, we quickly converted earth-abundant and low-cost bituminous coal to FLG over Fe catalysts at a temperature of 1300 °C. X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and N 2 adsorption–desorption experiments were performed to analyze the fabricated metal-supported FLG. The results indicated that the microwave-irradiation temperature at a set holding-time played a critical role in the synthesis of metal-supported FLG. The highest degree of graphitization and a well-developed pore structure were fabricated at 1300 °C using a S10% Fe catalyst for 20 min. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy analysis confirmed that the metal-supported FLG fabricated via microwave-assisted catalytic graphitization consisted of 3–6 layers of graphene nanosheets. In addition, the 2D band at 2700 cm −1 in the Raman spectrum of the fabricated metal-supported FLG samples were observed, which indicated the presence of few-layer graphene structure. Furthermore, a mechanism was proposed for the microwave-assisted catalytic graphitization of bituminous coal. Here, we developed a cost-effective and environmental friendly metal-supported FLG method using a coal-based carbonaceous material.

    Abstract Water with small volume (a few microlitres or less) often maintains its liquid state even at temperatures much lower than 0 °C. In this study, we examine the onset of ice nucleation in micro-sized water droplets with immersed solid particles under weak ultrasonic vibrations. The experimental results show that ice nucleation inside the water droplets can be successfully induced at relatively high temperatures. The experimental observations indicate that the nucleation sites are commonly encountered in the region between the particle and the substrate. A numerical study is conducted to gain insight into the possible underlying phenomenon for ice nucleation in such systems. The simulation results show that the collapse of cavitation bubbles in the crevice at the particle surface is structure sensitive with the hemisphere-shape crevice generating pressures as high as 1.63 GPa, which is theoretically suitable for inducing ice nucleation.

    Abstract Abstract Biomass is considered as a promising source to fabricate functional carbon materials for its sustainability, low cost, and high carbon content. Biomass‐derived‐carbon materials (BCMs) have been a thriving research field. Novel structures, diverse synthesis methods, and versatile applications of BCMs have been reported. However, there has been no recent review of the numerous studies of different aspects of BCMs‐related research. Therefore, this paper presents a comprehensive review that summarizes the progress of BCMs related research. Herein, typical types of biomass used to prepare BCMs are introduced. Variable structures of BCMs are summarized as the performance and properties of BCMs are closely related to their structures. Representative synthesis strategies, including both their merits and drawbacks are reviewed comprehensively. Moreover, the influence of synthetic conditions on the structure of as‐prepared carbon products is discussed, providing important information for the rational design of the fabrication process of BCMs. Recent progress in versatile applications of BCMs based on their morphologies and physicochemical properties is reported. Finally, the remaining challenges of BCMs, are highlighted. Overall, this review provides a valuable overview of current knowledge and recent progress of BCMs, and it outlines directions for future research development of BCMs.

    Abstract A series of Mn 0.15 Fe 0.05 /fly-ash catalysts have been synthesized by the co-precipitation method using coal fly ash (FA) as the catalyst carrier. The catalyst showed high catalytic activity for low-temperature selective catalytic reduction (LTSCR) of NO with NH 3 . The catalytic reaction experiments were carried out using a lab-scale fixed-bed reactor. De-NO x experimental results showed the use of optimum weight ratio of Mn/FA and Fe/FA, resulted in high NH 3 -SCR (selective catalytic reduction) activity with a broad operating temperature range (130–300 °C) under 50000 h −1 . Various characterization methods were used to understand the role of the physicochemical structure of the synthesized catalysts on their De-NO x capability. The scanning electron microscopy, physical adsorption-desorption, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy showed the interaction among the MnO x , FeO x , and the substrate increased the surface area, the amount of high valence metal state (Mn 4+ , Mn 3+ , and Fe 3+ ), and the surface adsorbed oxygen. Hence, redox cycles (Fe 3+ + Mn 2+ ↔ Mn 3+ + Fe 2+

    Fe 2+ + Mn 4+ ↔ Mn 3+ + Fe 3+ ) were co-promoted over the catalyst. The balance between the adsorption ability of the reactants and the redox ability can promote the excellent NO x conversion ability of the catalyst at low temperatures. Furthermore, NH 3 /NO temperature-programmed desorption, NH 3 /NO- thermo gravimetric-mass spectrometry (NH 3 /NO-TG-MS), and in-situ DRIFTs (Diffuse Reflectance Infrared Fourier Transform Spectroscopy) results showed the Mn 0.15 Fe 0.05 /FA has relatively high adsorption capacity and activation capability of reactants (NO, O 2 , and NH 3 ) at low temperatures. These results also showed that the Langmuir–Hinshelwood (L–H) reaction mechanism is the main reaction mechanism through which NH 3 -SCR reactions took place. This work is important for synthesizing an efficient and environmentally-friendly catalyst and demonstrates a promising waste-utilization strategy.

    Abstract Abstract Mitochondria are the key organelles for sensing oxygen, which is consumed by oxidative phosphorylation to generate ATP. Lysosomes contain hydrolytic enzymes that degrade misfolded proteins and damaged organelles to maintain cellular homeostasis. Mitochondria physically and functionally interact with lysosomes to regulate cellular metabolism. However, the mode and biological functions of mitochondria-lysosome communication remain largely unknown. Here, we show that hypoxia remodels normal tubular mitochondria into megamitochondria by inducing broad inter-mitochondria contacts and subsequent fusion. Importantly, under hypoxia, mitochondria-lysosome contacts are promoted, and certain lysosomes are engulfed by megamitochondria, in a process we term megamitochondria engulfing lysosome (MMEL). Both megamitochondria and mature lysosomes are required for MMEL. Moreover, the STX17-SNAP29-VAMP7 complex contributes to mitochondria-lysosome contacts and MMEL under hypoxia. Intriguingly, MMEL mediates a mode of mitochondrial degradation, which we termed mitochondrial self-digestion (MSD). Moreover, MSD increases mitochondrial ROS production. Our results reveal a mode of crosstalk between mitochondria and lysosomes and uncover an additional pathway for mitochondrial degradation.

    Abstract Pressurized entrained-flow pyrolysis of Chlorella vulgaris microalgae was investigated. The impact of pressure on the yield and composition of pyrolysis products were studied. The results showed that the concentration of H2 in bio-gas increased sharply with increasing pyrolysis pressure, while those of CO, CO2, CH4, and C2H6 were dramatically decreased. The concentration of H2 reached 88.01 vol% in bio-gas at 900 °C and 4 MPa. Higher pressures promoted the hydrogen transfer to bio-gas. The bio-oils derived from pressurized pyrolysis were rich in nitrogen-containing compounds and PAHs. The highest concentration of nitrogen-containing compounds in bio-oil was achieved at 800 °C and 1 MPa. Increasing pyrolysis pressure promoted the formation of nitrogen-containing compounds such as indole, quinoline, isoquinoline and phenanthridine. Higher pyrolysis pressures led to increased sphericity, enhanced swelling, and higher carbon order of bio-chars. Pressurized pyrolysis of biomass has a great potential for poly-generation of H2, nitrogen containing compounds and bio-char.
