Large-scale single-crystalline ultrathin boron nanosheets (UBNSs, ≈10 nm) are fabricated through an effective vapor-solid process via thermal decomposition of diborane. The UBNSs have obvious advantages over thicker boron nanomaterials in many aspects. Specifically, the UBNSs demonstrate excellent field emission performances with a low turn-on field, Eto, of 3.60 V μm-1 and a good stability. Fu...

Thermal remediation of the soil contaminated with crude oil using microwave heating enhanced by carbon fiber (CF) was explored. The contaminated soil was treated with 2.45 GHz microwave, and CF was added to improve the conversion of microwave energy into thermal energy to heat the soil. During microwave heating, the oil contaminant was removed from the soil matrix and recovered by a condensatio...

Atrazine is a widely used herbicide with great environmental concern due to its high potential to contaminate soil and waters. An atrazine-degrading bacterial strain HB-6 was isolated from industrial wastewater and the 16S rRNA gene sequencing identified HB-6 as a Bacillus subtilis. PCR assays indicated that HB-6 contained atrazine-degrading genes trzN, atzB and atzC. The strain HB-6 was capabl...

Groundwater contamination is the result of multiple human activities, such as agriculture, industrial practices and military operations. The traditional remediation approach is to combine pump-and-treat for plume containment and contaminant capture, with other remediation technology for source control. Pump-and-treat systems are expensive, typically requiring high installation and operation cos...
