Aerosol Ammonium in Urban Boundary Layer in Beijing
In recent years, many studies have focused on the chemical composition, sources and formation mechanisms of atmospheric fine aerosols (PM2.5), as haze pollution has become a severe issue in China and many other countries. Since inorganic nitrogen (IN) contributes a large fraction to PM2.5andammonium (NH4+) is an important species of IN, researchers have paid specific attention to ambient NH3and...

New Progress on Room Temperature Electro-synthesis of Nylon-6 Precursors
As one of the essential products of nylon materials, nylon-6 is widely used in the nylon fiber, engineering plastics and film industries. Cyclohexanone oxime is an important precursor for the synthesis of nylon-6, and more than 90% of it is produced by the traditional cyclohexane-hydroxylamine method (Figure 1a) in the world. However, this method needs hazardous hydrogen and corrosive sulphuric...

Recent Research Progress on Repeated Hydrogen Sulfide Poisoning in the Photic Zone of the Ediacaran Ocean
The Ediacaran (635 to 539 million years ago) was a pivotal time period in Earth history, marked by the diversification of macroscopic multicellular eukaryotes (i.e., the “Ediacara biota”). Numerous studies have linked the rise of the Ediacara biota to ocean oxygenation. A relatively large body of geochemical datasets seem to suggest that there were transient (lasting up to a few million years...
