Global warming caused primarily by excessive emissions of CO₂ has attracted worldwide attention. Herein, three 2-hydroxypyridium ionic liquids (ILs) based task-specific deep eutectic solvents (DESs) were synthesized to absorb CO₂ and physical properties including density, viscosity, and melting points were measured to explore the effect on CO₂ absorption. The CO₂ absorption capacities of the ILs-based task-specific DESs were investigated at different pressures and temperatures, which showed that the maximum absorption capacity of the DES was up to 1.48 mol_CO2·mol_DES⁻¹ or 0.233 g_CO2·g_DES⁻¹ at the atmospheric pressure and 25 °C. The plausible absorption mechanism was also proposed by a combination of 1:1 and 2:1 stoichiometric reactions of CO₂ and the IL-based task-specific DES via multiple-site absorption, which was confirmed by ¹³C and ¹H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, quantum chemical calculation, and reaction equilibrium thermodynamic modeling. The thermodynamic properties, including absorption Gibbs free energy, absorption enthalpy, and absorption entropy were rationally deduced and explained. Furthermore, the excellent CO₂ absorption capacity and regenerability of multiple-site task-specific DES make it a new environmentally eco-friendly choice for highly efficient CO₂ absorption and subsequent CO₂ transformation.

二氧化碳的过量排放引起的全球变暖已经引起了全世界的关注。本文合成了3种基于2-羟基吡啶离子液体（ILs）的特定任务深度共晶溶剂（DESs）来吸收CO2，并测量了其密度、粘度和熔点等物理性质，以探讨其对CO2吸收的影响。在不同压力和温度下，研究了基于il的任务型DES的CO2吸收能力，结果表明，在常压和25℃下，DES的最大吸收能力可达1.48 molCO2·molDES−1或0.233 gCO2·gDES−1。通过多位点吸收，以1:1和2:1的CO2化学计量反应与基于il的任务特异性DES相结合，提出了合理的吸收机理，并通过13C和1H核磁共振（NMR）、傅里叶变换红外（FT-IR）光谱、量子化学计算和反应平衡热力学模型进行了证实。对吸收吉布斯自由能、吸收焓、吸收熵等热力学性质进行了合理的推导和解释。此外，优异的CO2吸收能力和多位点任务特异性DES的可再生性使其成为高效CO2吸收和后续CO2转化的新环保选择。

Machine learning (ML) algorithms are playing increasingly important roles in exploring solvents for wide industrial applications. However, most ML strategies for solvent screening neglect the contributions of intermolecular interactions among solvent components, resulting in reduced prediction accuracy for the solubilities of solvent mixtures. In this study, we propose an efficient method combining feature-based transfer learning and a hybrid Henry's law constant (HLC) calculation method to assist the exploration of promising solvent mixtures to remove organic sulfides. The incorporation of predicted HLC values from established models as features significantly enhances the prediction accuracy for various organic sulfides. In the case of 2-propanethiol, the prediction shows a R²_test of 0.91, RMSE of 0.0166, and MAE of 0.0118. The hybrid HLC calculation method, which incorporates non-ideal interactions between two solvent components, outperforms both the conductor-like screening models for real solvents (COSMO-RS) and ideal solution methods in predicting experimental HLC values. The present method successfully predicts a hybrid solvent for methanethiol (MeSH) removal. Both static and dynamic absorption experiments confirm that this designed solvent mixture has the lowest HLC of 370.48 kPa and the highest removal rate of 80.38% for MeSH.

机器学习（ML）算法在探索广泛工业应用的溶剂方面发挥着越来越重要的作用。然而，大多数用于溶剂筛选的ML策略忽略了溶剂组分之间分子间相互作用的贡献，导致溶剂混合物溶解度的预测精度降低。在这项研究中，我们提出了一种结合特征迁移学习和混合亨利定律常数（HLC）计算方法的有效方法，以帮助探索有前途的溶剂混合物，以去除有机硫化物。将已建立模型的预测hplc值作为特征，显著提高了各种有机硫化物的预测精度。对于2-丙硫醇，预测的R2test为0.91，RMSE为0.0166，MAE为0.0118。混合hplc计算方法包含了两种溶剂组分之间的非理想相互作用，在预测实验hplc值方面优于真实溶剂的类导体筛选模型（cosmos - rs）和理想溶液方法。该方法成功地预测了一种用于甲醇硫醇（MeSH）脱除的混合溶剂。静态和动态吸附实验均证实，该溶剂混合物对MeSH的hplc最低为370.48 kPa，去除率最高为80.38%。

The direct conversion of carbon dioxide (CO₂) and propylene oxide (PO) into propylene carbonate (PC) offers a green way to utilize anthropogenic CO₂. However, this reaction is limited by low conversion of PO and harsh reaction conditions. In this study, we solve this problem using ionic liquids (ILs)/metal oxide composites (ILs@MAO). The catalytic activity of MAO-500 (500 = annealing temperature) is poor evidenced by its low conversion of PO (24.94%). However, ILs@MAO-500 has a high conversion of PO (97.54%) under similar reaction conditions (2 h at 1.5 MPa CO₂ pressure, 90 °C, and 0.85 g catalyst). The ILs consist of imidazolium cation with weak coordinated [NTf₂]^– anion leading to outward movement of anion resulting in the formation of “heterodinuclear complex”. This complex generates an amorphous-crystalline intermediate with balanced acid-base sites that activate PO and stabilize the catalytic intermediate. In large part, the high PO conversion is theorized to be primarily due to the abundant reactive sites in the ILs that are covalently immobilized on the MAO-500 carrier. Furthermore, even after multiple recycling, ILs@MAO-500 remains stable and exhibits high yield and selectivity. The proposed solvent-free catalytic system is mild, kinetically fast, and naturally safe for coupling CO₂ and PO into PC synthesis.

将二氧化碳（CO2）和环氧丙烷（PO）直接转化为碳酸丙烯酯（PC）提供了一种利用人为二氧化碳的绿色方式。然而，该反应受到PO转化率低和反应条件苛刻的限制。在这项研究中，我们使用离子液体(ILs)/金属氧化物复合材料（ILs@MAO）解决了这个问题。MAO-500（500 =退火温度）的催化活性较差，PO转化率较低（24.94%）。然而，ILs@MAO-500在相同的反应条件下（在1.5 MPa CO2压力，90℃，0.85 g催化剂下，2 h）， PO的转化率高达97.54%。咪唑阳离子与弱配位的[NTf2]阴离子组成，导致阴离子向外移动，形成“异双核复合物”。该配合物产生具有平衡酸碱位的非晶中间体，可激活PO并稳定催化中间体。在很大程度上，理论上认为高PO转化率主要是由于il中丰富的活性位点被共价固定在MAO-500载体上。此外，即使经过多次循环，ILs@MAO-500仍保持稳定，并表现出高收率和选择性。所提出的无溶剂催化体系对CO2和PO偶联合成PC具有温和、动力学快、天然安全的特点。

Deep eutectic solvent (DES) pretreatment is attractive for the delignification of lignocellulosic biomass, while unable to circumvent the trenchant demand for the higher-temperature operating conditions. Herein, an electro-assisted DES (choline chloride/ethylene glycol = 1:2) strategy was developed for wheat straw pretreatment at room temperature. The rate of lignin removal, hemicellulose removal, cellulose recovery, and cellulose saccharification reached 68.1%, 60.8%, 95.1%, and 82.5%, respectively, which were comparable or superior to the reported efficiency of traditional DES pretreatment methods. The destruction of lignin by electricity and in-situ dissolution of released lignin components with DES enabled effectively the separation of the full components. Notably, the evolution rate of hydrogen in-situ produced during electro-driven DES pretreatment of wheat straw was 50 μmol cm⁻² h⁻¹, and 4.6 g/100 g lipids could be obtained with Trichosporon cutaneum grown on the fractionated cellulose and hemicellulose components. The electro-assisted DES process offers a potential platform for lignocellulosic biomass fractionation at ambient conditions. According to the life cycle cost analysis (LCCA), the estimated cost of producing hydrogen from 100 g of wheat straw is only $37.24, demonstrating its potential for commercial viability.

深度共熔溶剂（DES）预处理对木质纤维素生物质的脱木质素具有吸引力，但无法规避对高温操作条件的强烈需求。本研究采用电辅助DES（氯化胆碱/乙二醇= 1:2）策略对小麦秸秆进行室温预处理。木质素去除率、半纤维素去除率、纤维素回收率和纤维素糖化率分别达到68.1%、60.8%、95.1%和82.5%，与传统DES预处理方法的效率相当或优于传统DES预处理方法。电对木质素的破坏和用DES对释放的木质素成分的原位溶解有效地分离了全组分。值得注意的是，在电驱动DES预处理麦秸过程中，原位产氢速率为50 μmol cm−2 h−1，在分离的纤维素和半纤维素组分上生长的皮三磷酸丝虫菌可获得4.6 g/100 g脂质。电辅助DES工艺为环境条件下木质纤维素生物质分馏提供了一个潜在的平台。根据生命周期成本分析（LCCA），从100克麦秸中生产氢气的估计成本仅为37.24美元，证明了其商业可行性的潜力。

Incorporating high valence dopants, such as W⁶⁺ and Mo⁶⁺ has been verified to be effective for tuning the microstructure and grain boundary of polycrystal Ni-rich cathode. However, the hindered consolidation of primary particles induced by dopants during lithiation calcination limits the utilization of those dopants to crystalize single-crystal Ni-rich cathodes with stabilized lattice and surface. Herein, high performance single crystal LiNi_0.84Co_0.11Mn_0.05O₂ cathode with Al³⁺ and W⁶⁺ regulated lattice and boundary phase was construed based on commercial process with two-step calcination process containing separated lithiation and crystallization. The introduction of appropriate amount of Al³⁺ in the first lithiation calcination of 6 h endows the bulk of crystalline with enhanced lattice stability, while the incorporation of W⁶⁺ with stoichiometrical LiOH in the secondary crystallization calcination of 6 h renders uniformly distributed surface layer without hampering the growth of single-crystal. With the Al³⁺ doped bulk lattice, W⁶⁺ doped subsurface region and hetero-epitaxially grown Li₂WO₄, the cathode infused by two-step calcination exhibits high discharge capacity, rate performance, and cycling stability. Specifically, the modified LiNi_0.84Co_0.11Mn_0.05O₂ exhibits exceptional capacity retention, maintaining 88.98% of its initial capacity after 200 cycles at a rate of 1 C within a voltage window of 2.7–4.3 V at a temperature of 25 °C in half-cell. This performance is markedly superior to the capacity retention of 72.96% observed for pristine cathode. Even when subjected to a stringent test after 200 cycles at the same rate, the modified cathode sustains an impressive capacity retention of 82.41% at an elevated cut-off voltage of 4.5 V and a temperature of 30 °C.

W6+和Mo6+等高价掺杂剂的掺入对调整多晶富镍阴极的微观结构和晶界是有效的。然而，在锂化焙烧过程中，掺杂剂导致原生颗粒固结受阻，限制了利用这些掺杂剂制备晶格和表面稳定的富镍单晶阴极。本文以工业工艺为基础，采用锂化和晶化分离的两步煅烧工艺，制备了具有Al3+和W6+晶格和边界相调控的高性能单晶LiNi0.84Co0.11Mn0.05O2阴极。在第一次锂化焙烧6h时引入适量的Al3+，使晶体的整体晶格稳定性增强，而在第二次锂化焙烧6h时加入W6+和LiOH，使表面层分布均匀，不妨碍单晶的生长。两步煅烧注入的阴极具有Al3+掺杂的体晶格、W6+掺杂的亚表面区域和异质外延生长的Li2WO4，具有较高的放电容量、倍率性能和循环稳定性。具体而言，改性后的LiNi0.84Co0.11Mn0.05O2表现出优异的容量保持能力，在2.7-4.3 V电压窗口下，在25℃半电池温度下，以1℃的速率进行200次循环后，其容量保持在初始容量的88.98%。该性能明显优于原始阴极72.96%的容量保持率。即使以相同的速率进行200次循环后的严格测试，改性阴极在4.5 V的高截止电压和30°C的温度下仍能保持82.41%的惊人容量保持率。

The cathode-electrolyte interphase (CEI) plays a pivotal role in determining the energy density and cycling stability of lithium-ion batteries. However, its complex formation mechanisms, dynamic evolution, and interplay with battery components pose significant challenges for a fundamental understanding and targeted regulation. While prior research has focused on modifying bulk electrolyte solvation structures and applying inert cathode coatings, this perspective analyzes the mechanisms of CEI formation and stabilization, with particular emphasis on cathode pre-interphase engineering, near-surface electric double-layer modulation, and functional coating design. Future research prospects are outlined, highlighting the advanced in situ characterization techniques with high spatiotemporal resolution to probe transient interfacial processes, along with innovative strategies for constructing CEI architectures.

阴极-电解质界面（CEI）对锂离子电池的能量密度和循环稳定性起着至关重要的作用。然而，其复杂的形成机制、动态演变以及与电池组件的相互作用为基本认识和有针对性的调控带来了重大挑战。虽然之前的研究主要集中在修改大块电解质溶剂化结构和应用惰性阴极涂层上，但本观点分析了CEI形成和稳定的机制，特别强调了阴极前界面工程，近表面双电层调制和功能涂层设计。展望了未来的研究前景，重点介绍了具有高时空分辨率的原位表征技术，以探测瞬态界面过程，以及构建CEI架构的创新策略。

Efficient trace radioactive krypton isotopes (⁸⁵Kr) capture from air under humid conditions is a critical challenge for nuclear safety and environmental protection. Commercial zeolites suffer from low Kr/N₂ selectivity due to cation-induced interactions that strengthen nitrogen (N₂) adsorption, while their hydrophilicity triggers severe water competition. Herein, we proposed utilizing the smooth pore surface in pure-silica zeolites to weaken the N₂ adsorption and mitigate water competition. The pure silica ZSM-11 exhibited significant Kr/N₂ selectivity (4.8) and Kr uptake of 12.8 cm³/g at 298 K and 1 bar, superior to the commercial zeolites. Its intersecting ten-membered ring (10-MR) channels facilitated optimal Kr interactions and distribution, as corroborated by Grand Canonical Monte Carlo (GCMC) simulations, which revealed preferential multisite Kr···O interactions with significantly higher Kr densities than N₂. Dynamic breakthrough experiments demonstrated that pure silica zeolites, particularly ZSM-11, achieved superior Kr capturing performance and cycling stability under humid conditions (relative humidity (RH) = 72.6%), realizing a leap from ppm levels to high purity (> 80%) Kr. This work demonstrated the rational design of pore surface and topologies in zeolite for inert gases capture provided an effective technological route for radioactive krypton isotopes separation under humid conditions.

在潮湿条件下从空气中有效捕获痕量放射性氪同位素（85Kr）是核安全和环境保护的关键挑战。由于阳离子诱导的相互作用加强了氮（N2）的吸附，商业沸石的Kr/N2选择性较低，而它们的亲水性引发了严重的水竞争。在此，我们提出利用纯硅沸石的光滑孔表面来减弱N2吸附和缓解水竞争。纯二氧化硅ZSM-11在298 K和1 bar条件下具有显著的Kr/N2选择性（4.8）和Kr吸收量（12.8 cm3/g），优于工业沸石。其交叉的十元环（10-MR）通道促进了最佳的Kr相互作用和分布，正如大规范蒙特卡罗（GCMC）模拟所证实的那样，显示出Kr密度显著高于N2的优先多位点Kr···O相互作用。动态突破实验表明，纯硅沸石，特别是ZSM-11，在潮湿条件下（相对湿度(RH) = 72.6%）具有优越的Kr捕获性能和循环稳定性，实现了从ppm水平到高纯度（> 80%） Kr的飞跃。该工作证明了沸石中用于惰性气体捕获的孔表面和拓扑结构的合理设计为放射性氪同位素在潮湿条件下分离提供了有效的技术途径。

Alcohol industry residues (AIRs) are protein-rich lignocellulosic biowastes from a major industry, having the dual traits of renewable biomass and organic waste. They mainly consist of Brewer's spent grains (BSG) and Baijiu distiller's grains (BDG), with annual production totaling tens of millions of tons. Recycling these residues effectively is crucial for the environment, society, and industry. Given their unique characteristic of concentrated carbon and nitrogen sources, valorizing AIRs into biocarbon products through thermochemistry is the most sustainable method for waste management, resource recycling, and green ecology. In this review, the preparation and properties of AIRs-derived biocarbon products are systematically discussed. Recent advancements in the green thermochemical valorization of AIRs into biocarbon products for various applications like thermal utilization, environmental remediation, and energy storage are comprehensively reviewed. It is suggested that hydrothermal carbonization, coupled with necessary chemical functionalization (e.g., using metal oxides and oxysalts), would be a preferable strategy for producing desired functionalized biocarbon for use as carbon adsorbents (for wastewater treatment) and carbon fertilizers (for soil conservation). The yield and quality of functionalized biocarbon can be ensured through the directional regulation of the migration of essential elements like carbon and nitrogen. The co-generation of nitrogen-doped biochar and nitrogen-enriched liquid fertilizer using innovative hydrothermal strategies is identified as a potential research avenue to achieve the full and cascading utilization of AIRs. This review aims to provide an overview and insights into thermochemically valorizing AIRs alongside other light industrial residues for relevant researchers.

The increasing demand for sustainable energy has intensified interest in hydrogen production from renewable sources. Although catalytic steam reforming of methane and other feedstocks has been extensively investigated, research on utilizing fats, oils, and grease (FOG) remains limited and dispersed. This study offers a comprehensive analysis of steam reforming catalysts for FOG conversion, concentrating on nickel-based, noble metal, and metal oxide-supported catalysts initially developed for methane, waste cooking oil, and glycerol. Catalyst performance is assessed in terms of activity, stability, cost, and environmental impact, addressing sustainable catalyst design and recycling principles. FOG management strategies are also explored, with a particular emphasis on Hong Kong, where FOG interception is crucial due to infrastructure constraints. Unlike cities where food waste is ground and flushed through extensive sewer systems, Hong Kong necessitates localized FOG removal to prevent costly blockages and environmental harm. A techno-economic analysis demonstrated the feasibility of producing H₂ at a selling price as low as USD 3/kg H₂, with a carbon capture potential of 0.40 kg CO₂-eq/kg H₂. Life cycle assessment (LCA) further confirmed environmental benefits, indicating the potential to capture 0.14 kg CO₂ per kg of FOG processed. Additionally, the study identifies opportunities for cost reduction through more efficient FOG acquisition and valorization, which can enhance carbon savings and economic viability. Overall, this work underscores the potential of FOG as a renewable feedstock and delineates key research directions for catalyst development and integrated waste-to-hydrogen systems.

对可持续能源日益增长的需求增强了人们对可再生能源制氢的兴趣。尽管甲烷和其他原料的催化蒸汽重整已经得到了广泛的研究，但利用脂肪、油和油脂（FOG）的研究仍然有限且分散。本研究提供了FOG转化的蒸汽重整催化剂的综合分析，集中在镍基、贵金属和金属氧化物支持的催化剂上，最初是为甲烷、废食用油和甘油开发的。催化剂性能从活性、稳定性、成本和环境影响等方面进行评估，解决可持续催化剂设计和回收原则。此外，还探讨了光纤陀螺管理策略，特别强调香港，由于基础设施的限制，光纤陀螺拦截至关重要。不同于城市的食物垃圾被碾碎并通过广泛的下水道系统冲走，香港需要局部清除雾雾，以防止代价高昂的堵塞和环境危害。一项技术经济分析表明，以低至3美元/千克H2的价格生产氢气是可行的，每千克H2的碳捕集潜力为0.40千克二氧化碳当量。生命周期评估（LCA）进一步证实了环境效益，表明每处理1千克雾可捕获0.14千克二氧化碳。此外，该研究还确定了通过更有效的FOG获取和定价来降低成本的机会，这可以提高碳节约和经济可行性。总的来说，这项工作强调了FOG作为可再生原料的潜力，并描绘了催化剂开发和综合废物制氢系统的关键研究方向。
