    Abstract Nano silver (Ag) was metallic Ag monomers with particle size to the nanoscale. Photocatalyst was a kind of semiconductor material with photocatalytic function. Loading precious metal Ag onto semiconductor surfaces by microwave, laser-induced, solvent-thermal and hydrothermal methods could capture photogenerated electrons, reduced the compounding rate of holes and photogenerated electrons during the photocatalytic process, thereby improving the electron transfer efficiency of photocatalysis and enhancing the absorption of visible light by silver nanoparticles through the plasma resonance effect. The highly reactive free radicals produced by photocatalysts were used in the organic degradation process to degrade organic matter into inorganic matter and was a faster, more efficient and less polluting method of pollutant degradation, which has attracted a lot of attention from researchers. This review discussed the modification of various types of photocatalysts by nano Ag through different methods. The photocatalytic degradation of dyes, antibiotics and persistent organic pollutants by different modified composites was also analyzed. This review covered the several ways and means in which nano Ag has modified diverse photocatalytic materials as well as the photocatalytic degradation of dyes, antibiotics and persistent organic pollutants. This review identified the drawbacks of the existing nano Ag-modified photocatalytic materials, including their low yield and lack of recyclability, and it also offered suggestions for potential future directions for their improvement. The purpose of this review was to further research on the technology of nano Ag-modified photocatalytic materials and to encourage the creation of new modified photocatalytic nanomaterials for the treatment of organic pollutant degradation.

    Abstract Seeking low-cost and eco-friendly electrode catalyst of microbial fuel cell (MFC) reactor has received extensive attention in recent decades. In this study, a sludge MFC was coupled with biochar-modified-anode (BC-300, BC-400, and BC-500) for actual brewery wastewater treatment. The physicochemical properties of biochar largely depended on the pyrolysis temperature, further affecting the removal efficiency of wastewater indicators. BC-400 MFC proved to be efficient for TN and NH

    Abstract Hydrogen produced by electrolyzing water has attracted extensive attention as an effective way to generate and store new energy by using renewable energy. Electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) were the core reactions in the process of hydrogen production by water electrolysis, however, due to the low efficiency of the electrolytic device caused by its slow kinetic reaction and the dependence on noble metal catalysts (platinum and iridium/ruthenium (oxide)), which limited its wide application. The preparation of high-efficiency catalysts with high catalytic activity, stability, low cost and scalability played a vital role in promoting the development of hydrogen production technology from electrolytic water and has become a current research hotspot. Metal alloy catalysts have been widely studied as high-efficiency electrocatalysts. This study introduced and analyzed the mechanism and application of metal alloy catalyst in hydrogen and oxygen evolution reaction, summarized and discussed the progress in the design, preparation and application of metal alloy electrocatalysts. Finally, the strategy and prospect of new high-efficiency electrocatalysts were proposed.

    Abstract The gut microbiota is viewed as the "second genome" of animals, sharing intricate relationships with their respective hosts. Because the gut microbial community and its diversity are affected by many intrinsic and extrinsic factors, studying intestinal microbes has become an important research topic. However, publications are dominated by studies on domestic or captive birds, while research on the composition and response mechanism of environmental changes in the gut microbiota of wild birds remains scarce. Therefore, it is important to understand the co-evolution of host and intestinal bacteria under natural conditions to elucidate the diversity, maintenance mechanisms, and functions of gut microbes in wild birds. Here, the existing knowledge of gut microbiota in captive and wild birds is summarized, along with previous studies on the composition and function, research methods employed, and factors influencing the avian gut microbial communities. Furthermore, research hotspots and directions were also discussed to identify the dynamics of the avian gut microbiota, aiming to contribute to studies of avian microbiology in the future.

    Abstract The aim of this work was to investigate the microbial diversity characteristics and driving factors in a high elevation drop river and to analyze the potential risks of river microorganisms to human health. In March 2019, we analyzed the microbial diversity characteristics in surface water and sludge from the Huotong River using high-throughput sequencing. The Huotong River is of great importance to the production and life of the people living along this river. The sampling points were set at the estuary of the river, on a downstream section of the river, on an upstream section of the main river, at one tributary flowing through a town, at one tributary with a barrage, and at the source of one tributary. The results showed significant differences in bacterial diversity in different areas of the river. For example, actinomycetes were less abundant in water samples from the headwaters of tributaries and more abundant upriver. The results revealed that different intensities of human activities had significant different effects on functional flora. Anthropogenic disturbance and human activities reduced the abundance of probiotic bacteria and increased the abundance of pathogenic bacteria in the river. The changes in functional floral diversity may pose potential threats to human health.

    Abstract In this study, a simple distributed feeding method was used to dope graphite phase carbon nitride (g-C₃N₄) on single atom catalyst (SAC) copper (Cu) to form composite material (Cu-SA/CN). Cu-SA/CN was formed by mutual doping of polyhedral block Cu and irregular g-C₃N₄. There were obvious crystal face peaks at 28.4, 43.3, 47.3 and 56.2°. Large solid Cu and small irregular g-C₃N₄ were successfully combined and C, Cu, N and O elements were uniformly distributed on the surface of Cu-SA/CN. The valence bond of N-CN, C-NC, CC and OH was found. When the Cu content was 0.03 mol, Cu-SA/CN3 showed excellent redox activity. The maximum power density of Cu-SA/CN3-MFC was 456.976 mW/m², the maximum voltage was 599 mV, which could be stable for 7 d. Cu-SA/CN3 was proved to provide more electrically active sites, strong catalytic oxygen reduction ability and conductivity.

    Abstract Latent Diffusion Models (LDMs) capture the dynamic evolution of latent variables over time, blending patterns and multimodality in a generative system. Despite the proficiency of LDM in various applications, such as text-to-image generation, facilitated by robust text encoders and a variational autoencoder, the critical need to deploy large generative models on edge devices compels a search for more compact yet effective alternatives. Post Training Quantization (PTQ), a method to compress the operational size of deep learning models, encounters challenges when applied to LDM due to temporal and structural complexities. This study proposes a quantization strategy that efficiently quantize LDMs, leveraging Signal-to-Quantization-Noise Ratio (SQNR) as a pivotal metric for evaluation. By treating the quantization discrepancy as relative noise and identifying sensitive part(s) of a model, we propose an efficient quantization approach encompassing both global and local strategies. The global quantization process mitigates relative quantization noise by initiating higher-precision quantization on sensitive blocks, while local treatments address specific challenges in quantization-sensitive and time-sensitive modules. The outcomes of our experiments reveal that the implementation of both global and local treatments yields a highly efficient and effective Post Training Quantization (PTQ) of LDMs.
