Soil Decomposer Can Regulate the Legacy Effect of Photodegradation on Forest Marcescent Litter Decomposition, but Emerging Microplastics Disrupt This by Kai Tian, Xin Wang, Rumeng Ye, Yingqi Wang, Zhicheng Chen, Xiaojing Liu, Wenxia Wang, Lunguang Yao

“…ABSTRACT Photodegradation—photochemical mineralization of standing litters—often exerts a legacy effect aiding biodegradation in soil (PLE), which is overlooked in deciduous forests containing marcescent leaves. Meanwhile, increasing anthropogenic microplastics have deposited in forests, how they would affect the PLE on subsequent litter bio‐decomposition is currently unknown. …”

Boosting C-C Coupling for Electrochemical CO₂ Reduction over Novel Cu-Cubic Catalysts with an Amorphous Shell by Hanlin Wang, Tian Wang, Gaigai Dong, Linbo Zhang, Fan Pan, Yunqing Zhu

“…An effective strategy for optimizing the reduction reaction pathway and enhancing catalytic performance involves manipulating highly unsaturated atomic sites on the catalyst’s surface, thereby increasing the number of active sites. In this study, we employed sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate (SDBS) as a surfactant in the electrodeposition method to synthesize copper cubes encapsulated with an amorphous shell (100 nm–250 nm) containing numerous defect sites on its surface. …”
