Hydrogen-bonded organic frameworks (HOFs) are a rapidly emerging class of porous materials that exhibit several desirable features, including tunable porosity, flexibility, and mild synthesis conditions. These frameworks are characterized by metal-free chemical compositions, cost-effectiveness, and ease of regeneration, making them suitable for a wide range of environmental applications. However, their practical utility is often constrained by the inherent instability of their frameworks due to the weak and reversible nature of hydrogen bonds. This review explores the fundamental aspects of hydrogen bond formation and the synthesis methods of HOFs, providing an in-depth categorization of their structural design concepts, such as π–π stacking, charge-assisted hydrogen bonding, and interpenetration strategies, aimed at enhancing their stability. Moreover, the review highlights key advancements in the application of HOFs for environmental remediation, including radionuclide removal, heavy metal adsorption, dye degradation, and the capture of hazardous gases like iodine. These specific applications demonstrate the growing potential of HOFs in addressing critical environmental challenges. Finally, we discuss current limitations, opportunities for enhancing framework stability, and future directions for expanding the use of HOFs in environmental technologies.

The effect of different electrolyte additives, including lithium difluoro(oxalato) borate (LiDFOB), lithium bis(oxalato) borate (LiBOB), lithium tetrafluoroborate (LiBF4) and lithium bis(fluorosulfonyl) imide (LiFSI), on the cycling stability of lithium (Li) metal batteries were systematically and comparatively investigated. The initial coulombic efficiency (ICE) of Li plating was found to follow the order: LiBF4 (42.5 %) < LiFSI (45.5 %) < No additive (69.5 %) < LiBOB (76.0 %) < LiDFOB (93.2 %), indicating that the LiDFOB exhibits the highest ICE value among those tested. LiDFOB also effectively protects the surface of Li metal anode from side reactions, resulting in a capacity retention of 94.06 % after 25 cycles. Electrochemical evaluation of the Li∥NCM622 full cell with LiDFOB additive demonstrated the highest capacity retention of 94.10 % after 20 cycles. Additionally, various aspects of Li metal electroplating and stripping were examined, including electrode morphology and the properties of solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) layer on the Li electrode. A key finding is that electrolyte additives, particularly LiDFOB, play a crucial role in enhancing the SEI of Li metal, which is essential for achieving high performance in Li metal batteries.

As a common high-performance wave absorber, the application prospect of nano-Fe3O4 in cementitious materials is limited due to its defects such as easy agglomeration and possible hydration reaction with cement clinker. In this study, self-healing and wave-absorbing functional coupling materials were synthesized by nano-Fe3O4 hybridized microcapsules. The physical and chemical properties of nano-Fe3O4 hybridized microcapsules were characterized by ESEM (Environmental scanning electron microscopy), XRD (X-ray diffractometer) and FTIR (Fourier transform infrared spectrum), etc. The self-healing properties of microcapsules were assessed. The electromagnetic parameters of microcapsules were measured, and the wave-absorbing performance of microcapsules with different matching thicknesses was assessed. The function coupling mechanism of self-healing and wave-absorbing of microcapsules hybridized by nano-Fe3O4 was revealed. The findings revealed that the residual weights of FM0 and FM40 were 1.28 % and 16.44 %, respectively. The hybrid microcapsules demonstrated the amorphous structure of self-healing microcapsules and the crystal structure characteristics of nano-Fe3O4. The highest strength healing rate of cement mortar mixed with microcapsules was 34.2 %. The minimum reflection loss and the corresponding effective bandwidth of the nano-Fe3O4 hybridized microcapsules with a thickness of 3 mm were −20.32 dB and 7.07 GHz, respectively. The nano-Fe3O4 hybridized microcapsules with core–shell structure exhibit excellent wave-absorbing performance through the functional coupling of dielectric loss and magnetic loss.

The growing pollution of antibiotics poses a significant threat to the ecological environment and human health. Photocatalysis is a promising solution for eliminating tetracycline (TC), but developing efficient photocatalysts remains a critical and challenging task. Herein, TiO2 nanodispersion is first used for the removal of TC in water. The as-prepared TiO2 nanodispersion has a uniform size of 10 nm and a large specific surface area of 198.9 m2/g, exhibiting notable adsorption capacity, exceptional photocatalytic performance, and considerable stability. Under UV light, TiO2 nanodispersion achieved 100 % degradation of TC within 60 min, using less than 1/5 of the catalyst dosage typically applied in most studies, and exhibited the highest catalytic activity, reaching 500 . Additionally, the photocatalytic rate constant of TiO2 nanodispersion was 2.74 times higher than commercial P25. After five photocatalytic cycles, the catalyst maintained a high degradation efficiency of 94 %. Even under visible light, the degradation efficiency of TC by TiO2 nanodispersion was approximately 90 % within 20 min, which was notably higher than that of P25 (63 %). Moreover, the as-prepared TiO2 nanodispersion demonstrated outstanding photocatalytic degradation ability for other typical antibiotics (chlortetracycline, oxytetracycline, and ciprofloxacin), demonstrating its potential as an efficient photocatalyst for the treatment of antibiotic wastewater.

The CO2 electroreduction reaction (CO2RR) is a method for producing value-added compounds from CO2. This study aimed to use copper from wiring waste to create Cu-based catalysts on Vulcan XC-72R carbon for converting CO2 into valuable chemicals. Copper nanopowder with an average crystallite size of 27 nm derived from the wiring waste solution was utilized as the starting material for mono and bimetallic catalysts preparation. During the bimetallic PdCu/C catalyst synthesis, a galvanic displacement reaction between Pd and Cu occurred, resulting in the formation of PdCu alloy and a reduction in the copper crystallite size. The inclusion of Pd on Cu/C in CO2RR decreased the onset potentials for C1 and C2 chemical production. The yields of methanol, formic acid, and formaldehyde products were generally increased as the Pd:Cu ratio increased. The 1:2-PdCu/C exhibited the smallest crystallite size and an onset potential of less than −1.0 V, resulting in the highest Faradaic efficiency of the products. This catalyst converted CO2 into formic acid (FE = 71.5 %) at a potential of −0.8 V and methanol (FE = 65.4 %) at −0.5 V. The catalyst’s stability was demonstrated for more than 6000 s at current densities of approximately 2 mA /mgcatalyst.

The effective filtration and treatment of dye wastewater through membrane technology can reduce environmental pollution and contribute to the realization of sustainability. In this study, a composite membrane for dye separation with antimicrobial properties is proposed which combines a support layer of PBA12F manufactured through electrospinning and a functional layer of CS/PVA@X-ZIF-8, resulting in the fabrication of PBA12F@CS/PVA@X-ZIF-8 nanofiber composite membrane. Compared to homogeneous PBA12F membranes, PBA12F@CS/PVA@X-ZIF-8 nanofiber composite membrane exhibits higher flux. As for the composite membrane with a ZIF-8 content of 0.1 wt%, the pure water flux reaches 65.04 L/m2·h, and a 50 % increase over the homogeneous membrane. Furthermore, an increase in ZIF-8 content leads to enhanced dye rejection and antimicrobial properties of the composite membrane, with inhibition rates exceeding 70 % for Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. The retention rates for pollutants BSA and HA exceed 90 %. These findings demonstrate the potential of PBA12F@CS/PVA@ZIF-8 composite membranes in pollution treatment.

Graphite forms the basis of a multibillion-dollar industry; obtained either by mining or by synthesis from petrochemicals with significant energy and materials footprints. Biomass is a carbon-negative and renewable precursor; therefore, obtaining graphite from bioresources is a step forward in the pursuit of sustainability. Herein, we review the advances in their synthesis following conventional (direct pyrolysis, activation, catalytic graphitization, and simultaneous activation-graphitization) and advanced methods (flash joule heating, microwave synthesis, and ultrasonic-assisted synthesis), highlighting their advantages and limitations. Carefully examining the process parameters, mechanisms, and environmental impacts of existing synthetic methods of graphite, we outline the progress and gaps. This review underscores the need for further research to refine the existing techniques, optimize process parameters, and develop scalable, environmentally friendly graphite production processes. Future research to be focused on novel highly abundant biomass feedstocks with high carbon content and easy processability. A comprehensive assessment of the environmental impact of the synthesis processes is crucial, including waste generation and disposal, to ensure the benefits of biomass-derived graphite do not come with unintended ecological consequences. Optimisation of carbonization and graphitisation techniques are essential to improve efficiency, reduce energy consumption, and enhance the quality of the resulting graphite materials.

In response to the escalating demands for efficient energy storage solutions, the enhancement of current supercapacitor electrode materials and the innovation of advanced alternatives are paramount. Traditional electrochemical methods, which have their limitations in offering a deep understanding of local electrochemical activities, such as ion adsorption, intercalation as well as transport. To truly grasp, manage, and enhance the electrochemical capabilities within energy materials, it’s vital to use in situ and operando characterization techniques. These sophisticated techniques are key to gaining a thorough understanding of reaction pathways, mechanisms of degradation, and how materials behave when subjected to real-world conditions. In situ and operando techniques provide important information on how materials change over time, their redox reactions, the formation of the solid-electrolyte interface, other reactions occurring, and how ions move during operation. This article delves into the newest developments in these techniques, with a focus on their use in studying the structural integrity, dynamic characteristics, changes in chemical environment, and the physical changes of supercapacitor materials. It covers a range of experimental strategies, including X-ray, electron, neutron, optical, and scanning probe methods. The review provides detailed descriptions of each technique’s methodology and operating principles, with particular emphasis on the design of in situ cells. Representative studies utilizing these techniques are highlighted to offer a comprehensive overview of the current state of the field. By integrating these advanced characterization methods, researchers can gain deeper insights into local electrochemical phenomena, leading to the optimization and enhancement of supercapacitor performance. This review serves as a crucial resource for scientists and engineers dedicated to advancing the capabilities and reliability of energy storage systems. Additionally, it addresses current challenges and identifies future opportunities for further development in this rapidly evolving field.

Magnesia–based refractories, known for their excellent resistance to slag corrosion and high–temperature stability, are extensively utilized in the iron– and steel–making process. This review delves into the interactions between molten slag and magnesia–based refractories, including magnesium oxide (MgO), magnesia–chrome (MgO–Cr2O3), magnesia–zirconia (MgO–ZrO2), magnesia–calcia (MgO–CaO), and magnesia–carbon (MgO–C) refractories, highlighting the challenges faced by the metallurgical industry. The analysis indicates that high density of MgO–based refractories is crucial for enhancing their resistance to slag corrosion. The incorporation of suitable additives can further improve this resistance in several ways: increasing the viscosity of the slag at the interface, forming a protective layer on the surface of refractory, reducing slag wettability, and minimizing MgO concentration gradients between the solid and liquid phases. Furthermore, the application of an external electric field represents an innovative approach to further augmenting the slag corrosion resistance of magnesia–based refractories. The comprehensive analysis offers critical insights and strategies to researchers, with the goal of optimizing magnesia–based refractory performance and promoting the development of high–temperature industries.

This study addresses the challenge of enhancing dye removal and antifouling properties in wastewater treatment by developing a composite membrane incorporating poly(acrylic acid)-functionalized activated carbon (AC-PAA) into a polyethersulfone (PES) matrix. The activated carbon was functionalized using surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization (SI-ATRP), followed by hydrolysis to introduce hydrophilic poly(acrylic acid) chains. The AC-PAA composite was characterized using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, transmission electron microscopy, and energy-dispersive X-ray analysis, confirming successful grafting and functionalization. Compared to pristine PES, the addition of 0.5 wt% AC-PAA led to significantly enhanced water flux (54 L/m2h vs. 30 L/m2h) and superior dye removal, achieving 63 % for methyl orange and 67 % for methylene blue at alkaline pH. Poly(acrylic acid) was selected for its carboxyl groups, which enhance adsorption capacity and antifouling characteristics. In addition to effective dye removal, the composite membranes were antifouling, with a flux recovery ratio of 72 %. Response surface methodology optimized parameters, confirming highest performance at pH 11 and 6 bar. AC-PAA functionalized membranes are an efficient solution in wastewater treatment, increasing dye removal and antifouling capacity versus current membrane technologies.
