Green preparation of vanadium carbide through one-step molten salt electrolysis

Vanadium carbide (VC) as excellent ceramic and functional material is usually prepared by carbothermal reduction of V₂O₅ which must be extracted from a typical V slag by complex processes. Pollutants, such as ammonia-nitrogen wastewater, NH₃ and CO₂ are inevitably discharged. A novel and green method for VC preparation was proposed by one-step co-electrolysis of soluble NaVO₃ and CO₂ in molten salt. It was found that VC with high purity was easily obtained by reducing electrolysis temperature and CO₂ flow rate to 600 °C and 10 mL min⁻¹ at 3.0 V. Besides VC with particles and layered stacking structure in products, a small amount of carbon and oxygen elements existed. The atomic percentage contents of C, V, and O elements in VC were about 50.0%, 44.5% and 3.8%, respectively. During electrolysis, CO₃²⁻ and VO₃⁻ was reduced at about −0.55 V (vs. Ag/AgCl) and −1.38 V (vs. Ag/AgCl), respectively. CO₃²⁻ ions were more easily reduced than VO₃⁻, and was firstly reduced to CO₂²⁻ and then converted to C. Then, VC was prepared by two routes from CO₂ and NaVO₃. One route is that VO₃⁻ ions are firstly electroreduced to VO₂⁻ ions and then are further electroreduced to VC with C. Another route is that VO₃⁻ ions are electroreduced to V which in-situ reacted with C to VC. Both VO₃⁻ and CO₃²⁻ ions are electroreduced by two-step process. In final, VC is in-situ deposited on cathode. It provides a novel and green way to prepare VC and also achieves the high value-added utilization of vanadium slag and CO₂.     

Stem Photosynthesis—A Key Element of Grass Pea (Lathyrus sativus L.) Acclimatisation to Salinity

Grass pea (Lathyrus sativus) is a leguminous plant of outstanding tolerance to abiotic stress. The aim of the presented study was to describe the mechanism of grass pea (Lathyrus sativus L.) photosynthetic apparatus acclimatisation strategies to salinity stress. The seedlings were cultivated in a hydroponic system in media containing various concentrations of NaCl (0, 50, and 100 mM), imitating none, moderate, and severe salinity, respectively, for three weeks. In order to characterise the function and structure of the photosynthetic apparatus, Chl a fluorescence, gas exchange measurements, proteome analysis, and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) analysis were done inter alia. Significant differences in the response of the leaf and stem photosynthetic apparatus to severe salt stress were observed. Leaves became the place of harmful ion (Na⁺) accumulation, and the efficiency of their carboxylation decreased sharply. In turn, in stems, the reconstruction of the photosynthetic apparatus (antenna and photosystem complexes) activated alternative electron transport pathways, leading to effective ATP synthesis, which is required for the efficient translocation of Na⁺ to leaves. These changes enabled efficient stem carboxylation and made them the main source of assimilates. The observed changes indicate the high plasticity of grass pea photosynthetic apparatus, providing an effective mechanism of tolerance to salinity stress.
