The present invention relates to the field of catalysts, and provides a porous layered transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) and a preparation method and use thereof. The preparation method includes the following steps: (1) mixing silica microspheres, a transition metal salt and an elemental chalcogen, and pressing to obtain a tablet, the silica microspheres having a same or different particle diameters; and (2) sintering the tablet under hydrogen, and removing the silica microspheres to obtain the porous layered TMD. The porous layered TMD prepared by the method of the present invention has a high lattice edge exposure, which provides more active sites and higher catalytic activity, so the porous layered TMD can effectively catalyze the oxidation of alcohols to aldehydes or sulfides to sulfoxides under visible light irradiation.

The present subject matter relates to a composition for in-situ remediation of soil and aquifer comprising of a water miscible oil; a solvent (for dissolving the vegetable oil to form a solution); and a catalyst (selected from enzymes biocatalysts, particularly lipases, alkaline compounds, heat or combinations thereof). The present subject matter provides a process for the preparation of the composition and application of the same for surface remediation. Further, the present subject matter provides an in-situ alcoholysis remediation method to reduce contaminant concentrations in aquifer and soil by enabling the generation of both soluble and slowly fermenting electron donors required for the anaerobic remediation of organohalide compounds contaminating soils and groundwater. The method of remediation includes mixing an engineered water-soluble oil or water miscible oil with a solvent and adding a catalyst to groundwater to promote the formation of fatty acid alkyl esters, carboxylic acid salts and glycerol.

The invention discloses a phosphorus-doped tubular carbon nitride micro-nano material and application thereof in waste gas treatment. Melamine is partially hydrolyzed into cyanuric acid through a phosphorous acid-assisted hydrothermal method to form a melamine-cyanuric acid super molecular precursor; the center of the precursor starts to be pyrolyzed under heating calcination, and thus phosphorus-doped tubular carbon nitride is obtained; the phosphorus-doped tubular carbon nitride and sodium borohydride are mixed and subjected to low-temperature calcination in an inert gas atmosphere, and defect-modified phosphorus-doped tubular carbon nitride is obtained. The defect-modified phosphorus-doped tubular carbon nitride micro-nano material has a good photocatalytic effect on catalytic degradation of waste gas; besides, the production raw materials are abundant and easy to obtain, and the phosphorus-doped tubular carbon nitride micro-nano material is good in stability and recyclable and has application prospects in waste gas treatment.
