High‐Efficiency and Carbon‐Lean Electrochemical Desalination Enabled by Nucleophilic Engineering of Organic Molecular Electrode

ABSTRACT The worsening global freshwater crisis positions seawater desalination as a critical solution. However, conventional desalination technologies remain constrained by a persistent sustainability trilemma involving high energy consumption, chemical reliance, and substantial...

Physicochemical antibacterial mechanisms of rose-thorn-inspired micro-nano Cu conical coatings

The rising prevalence of bacterial antibiotic resistance threatens human health and public safety, posing a critical challenge to conventional antimicrobial strategies. Inspired by rose thorn architecture, this study employs Janus Green B (JGB) as a crystallization modifier in a...

FinTech, financing constraints and risk-taking by small and medium-sized enterprises

Purpose This paper investigates whether financial technology (FinTech) development enhances the risk-taking capacity of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and clarifies the underlying mechanism. In particular, it examines whether FinTech affects firms' risk decisions by al...

Waste‐Derived Crayfish‐Shell Biochar for Norfloxacin Removal: Mineral‐Driven Adsorption Mechanisms

ABSTRACT Crayfish–shell waste (CSW) is an abundant aquaculture by–product rich in biogenic minerals; however, the contribution of these inherited mineral phases to antibiotic adsorption remains poorly understood. Herein, pyrolysis–derived crayfish–shell biochar (CSB) was prepared...

Hydroxyl Radical Formation: A Key Mechanism and Regulatory Target in Monascin Photo-Degradation

Monascin, a yellow azaphilone pigment derived from Monascus fermentation, undergoes significant photo-degradation that limits its applications. This study reveals that free radical formation, particularly hydroxyl radicals (·OH) generated via H2O2 photolysis, is the primary mecha...
