Given that statistics may be more or less adequate, the appropriate use of models and their output can contribute to effective preventive, diagnostic and treatment strategies, however, misuse or misinterpretation of their output can mislead decision-making. In the early'90, to summarize probabilistic data and provide practical guidance to clinical decision making, we sought the birth of the evidence-based model and the diffusion of guidelines developed accordingly . Besides, it should also be pointed out that in clinical practice a systematic assessment of health outcomes with post-study probability tests is needed to confirm the intervention effectiveness , and a continuous on-going refinement.Finally, when facing Both authors listed have made a substantial, direct, and intellectual contribution to the work and approved it for publication.The authors declare that the research was conducted in the absence of any commercial or financial relationships that could be construed as a potential conflict of interest.All claims expressed in this article are solely those of the authors and do not necessarily represent those of their affiliated organizations, or those of the publisher, the editors and the reviewers.

The published article  has beenFollowing publication, further data analyses showed that the hybridization signal, which forms the core of the paper, is most likely the result of cross-sample contamination.M. murinus samples is concerning and indicative of contamination. The authors’ previous analyses had shown that M. murinus mitochondrial DNA does not contain a RAD cutting site when digested with the restriction enzyme SbfI , while mtDNA of M. ravelobensis has a cutting site in the COI gene. Nevertheless, some samples of M. murinus show a very low mtDNA coverage and at least some  of these low mtDNA coverages were recently confirmed to be of M. ravelobensis origin, suggesting the presence of very low levels of contaminants (from laboratory work or barcode synthesis). This explanation is the most parsimonious one since proper hybrids should either show high coverage of the M. ravelobensis-type  or no coverage at all .First, the distribution of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) coverage among M. murinus and M. ravelobensis prior to RAD Sequencing, and not from hybridization. Taken together these tests leave little doubt that the original publication on hybridization between two sympatric mouse lemur species is compromised by some level of cross-sample contamination.The authors also recently leveraged properties of the minor allele coverage to infer the most likely ploidy of samples  and to inspect the individual profiles of previously inferred “hybrids”, using nQuire  and the Consequently, and as a necessity following good scientific practice, the authors contacted the journal regarding the new findings and conclusions and asked for the retraction of the article.

An increment in the RER at rest was observed with 4 Hz, 6 Hz, 8 Hz and 10 Hz , but not with 1 Hz and 2 Hz (p ≥ 0.923). During uphill walking, the frequency that elicited the highest increase in EE was 6 Hz  compared to the unstimulated condition. None of the impulse frequencies altered the RER during uphill walking. WB-EMS increases EE in healthy young men both during resting and uphill walking.The effects of the different electrical frequencies of whole-body electrical stimulation (WB-EMS) on energy expenditure (EE) and the respiratory exchange ratio (RER) remain poorly understood. This study aimed to determine the effects of different WB-EMS electrical frequencies on EE and the RER during supine resting and uphill walking. A total of 10 healthy and recreationally active men (21.6 ± 3.3 years old) participated in the present study. Participants completed two testing sessions in a randomized order. In each session, a variety of impulse frequencies (1 hertz (Hz), 2 Hz, 4 Hz, 6 Hz, 8 Hz, and 10 Hz) were applied in a randomized order, allowing a 10 min passive recovery between them. Oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide production were measured to calculate EE and the RER. All frequencies increased EE at rest (all  Obesity is a public health problem worldwide since it is a risk factor for cardiovascular diseases and mortality ,2,3,4. EIt is well known that physical exercise is an effective strategy to (i) increase EE, (ii) improve body composition ,17,18,19Only a few studies have investigated the effects of electromyostimulation (EMS) on EE and the respiratory exchange ratio (RER) at rest. For instance, Grosset et al.  reportedElectrical frequency appears to be inversely proportional to electrical intensity, which is commonly applied at a participant’s maximal tolerance and highly influences the effects of WB-EMS . Hence, 2), (iv) not taking medications, (v) any chronic metabolic disease or cancer, and (vi) not suffering from any health problem that might be aggravated by exercise or WB-EMS, such as total endoprosthesis, epilepsy, and abdomen/groin hernia. The participants signed a written informed consent before participation and were fully aware of the nature of the study. The study was approved by the Human Research Ethics Committee of the University of Granada (N° 1092/CEIH/2020), registered as a clinical trial (NCT05218512), and was conducted following the latest revision of the Declaration of Helsinki .Ten healthy and recreationally active males (18–25 years old) participated in the present study. The inclusion criteria were: (i) no previous experience with WB-EMS training, (ii) having a stable body weight (variation of <5 kg in body weight over the previous 3 months), (iii) to show a normal weight status (body mass index (BMI) between 18.5–25.0 kg/m2max) or peak oxygen uptake (VO2peak). After seven days, on day 2 , EE and RER were assessed at resting and unstimulated conditions during 30 min followed by the application of 6 different impulse frequencies, in random order, during 6 min each one and with a passive recovery of 10 min between them. During the first 2 min of the 6 min application period, we adjusted the intensity (mA) at the participant’s maximum tolerance, using the last 4 min of the bout to measure the effects of WB-EMS. On day 3 , EE and RER were assessed during 30 min of uphill walking on a treadmill at a speed and grade eliciting an intensity of 60% of the VO2max or VO2peak (without WB-EMS). The same 6 impulse frequencies were tested subsequently while the participants walked on the treadmill, with 10-min recovery periods in between. Notably, the passive recovery was different in both experimental sessions. During the first experimental session, they waited 10 min lying on the stretcher without moving, while during the second experimental session, they waited 10 min seated steadily in a chair.A within-subject repeated measures design was used to compare the effects of different WB-EMS frequencies on EE and RER at rest and during uphill walking . A wide The order of the impulse frequencies was randomly selected and counterbalanced. Participants followed the same order application on both days. Participants were instructed to replicate the same diet the day before each visit, to refrain from moderate (previous 24 h) and vigorous physical activity (previous 48 h), and to abstain from alcohol and caffeine consumption (previous 12 h). All measurements were conducted in a temperature-controlled room (22–24 °C) and performed by the same researchers.2) and lean body mass (kg)/height (m2), respectively.Body weight and height were measured using a Seca scale and stadiometer  with participants being barefoot and wearing light clothing.

The indirect calorimetry’s measurement was performed in agreement with the recommended guidelines [EE and RER were measured while resting, laying in a supine position, between 8 A.M. and 11 A.M. after a 12-h overnight fasting. The participants arrived at the research center by public transportation or by any motor vehicle avoiding any physical activity since waking up. We measured EE and RER in control conditions during a 30-min period with the above-mentioned metabolic cart. The participants were instructed not to move throughout the entire test. A silicone face mask with a twin-tube sample line and a digital volume transducer was used for gas data collection. The measurements were subsequently recorded at 10 s intervals for VOidelines . Briefly2, VCO2 ventilation and RER were calculated, and the periods that met the steady-state criteria  were then selected. Finally, the period with the lowest CV was chosen for further analysis. EE was calculated using the stoichiometry equations of Weir [For control  measurements, the first 5 min data were discarded, and records with an RER <0.7 or >1.0 were excluded.

This pilot testing showed that lower frequencies (≤10 Hz) induced higher EE than those observed with high frequencies (>20 Hz). Therefore, we restricted the frequency range applied in the present study from 1 to 10 Hz.Several electrical parameters were set: (a) the impulse frequency ; (b) impulse intensity ; (c) impulse width ; (d) duty cycle )).

The normality of the distribution of all variables was assessed by the Shapiro–Wilk statistic, visual check of histograms, and Q–Q plots. The data followed a normal distribution and, as a result, a repeated measures analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to compare the EE and RER elicited by different impulse frequencies  at rest and during uphill walking. The Mauchly test indicated that the sphericity assumption (homogeneity) was met for the effects of impulse frequencies on the EE and RER at rest and during uphill walking , and classified as small, medium, or large , following established guidelines .

There w= 0.008)  but not To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study aiming to elucidate which is the WB-EMS impulse frequency that elicits the highest increase in EE at rest and during uphill walking. We observed that 4 Hz induces the highest EE at rest , whereas 6 Hz seems to produce the most extensive EE during uphill walking . There were also other frequencies that elicit significant increases in EE at rest  compared to unstimulated conditions and during uphill walking . A significant increase in the RER at rest was induced by 4 Hz, 6 Hz, 8 Hz, and 10 Hz, but not by low frequencies such as 1 Hz and 2 Hz. Lastly, there were no significant effects of WB-EMS on the RER during exercise. These results suggest that a single bout of WB-EMS at 4 Hz and 6 Hz (adjusting impulse intensity to the participant’s maximum tolerance) induces the highest increase in EE at rest and during uphill walking, respectively. Although 4 Hz seems to be the frequency that elicits the highest increase in EE, there were no significant differences between 4 Hz, 6 Hz, and 8 Hz at rest. Similarly, during uphill walking, we did not find significant differences between 6 Hz, 2 Hz, and 8 Hz. Intriguingly, although 1 Hz and 2 Hz do not change the RER values, they increase EE at rest suggesting a potential impact on substrate utilization.There are previous studies investigating the impact of local EMS on EE at rest. Grosset et al.  compared2 comparing Nordic walking and walking with and without WB-EMS. They continuously applied WB-EMS during 10 min with the following pattern: 9 s at 85 Hz and 1 s at 7 Hz, with a pulse width 350 μsec in every muscle stimulated at the individual tolerated maximum intensity [2 elicited by WB-EMS [Regarding WB-EMS stimulation during exercise, Kemmler et al.  showed antensity .

We obsep < 0.001) due to the incompatibility of walking with high intensities. This fact would explain why the RER values rise to higher levels at rest than during uphill walking. Concretely, we found that the RER values at 10 Hz at rest were 1.04 ± 0.16, while during uphill walking the were 0.95 ± 0.08 at the same frequency.Electrical frequencies and intensities are inversely proportional and the relationship between both parameters could explain the differences observed in EE. Intensity has been positioned as a crucial parameter to modulate EE. For instance, Hsu et al.  demonstrWe showed that the application of low frequencies of WB-EMS at rest produces an EE level similar to the one observed during uphill walking . This could be of interest for individuals with severe obesity problems since long aerobic training sessions at moderate intensity could lead to joint and biomechanical imbalance increasing injury risk , as wellThe present study had several limitations. Although we found significant differences between frequencies, the limited sample size should be considered. Moreover, we only measured the effects of each frequency during 4 min, not enough time to talk about substrate oxidation despite being measured . This isThe present study shows that relatively low frequencies of WB-EMS are an effective tool to increase EE at rest and during uphill walking in young healthy adults. Specifically, although 4 Hz is the frequency that elicits the major increment in EE at rest, other frequencies such as 2 Hz, 6 Hz and 8 Hz also did this compared to unstimulated conditions. In addition, the frequency that produces the highest increment in EE during uphill walking is 6 Hz, having a similar effect with 2 Hz and 8 Hz, compared to unstimulated conditions. Lastly, low frequencies (1 Hz and 2 Hz) of WB-EMS do not increase the RER values despite an increase in EE at rest suggesting that it could have an impact on fuel utilization rates.

Treatment and prevention alone are unlikely to make a significant difference in reducing the burden of poor mental health and mental illness. Therefore, mental health promotion (MHP) initiatives are advocated. In 2014, the ABCs of mental health (ABCs) partnership was established in Denmark; in the partnership, partner organisations, e.g., municipalities and NGOs, use a research-based framework for MHP, the ABC-framework, to develop and implement MHP initiatives. This presentation has two aims: (1) to outline the overall characteristics of these MHP initiatives; and (2) to explore local coordinator and stakeholder perceptions of the implementation processes and the impact of the MHP initiatives. Questionnaire surveys, individual interviews and group interviews were conducted during 2017-2020. The MHP initiatives were grouped according to three strategies: building MHP capacity, campaign activities to promote mental health awareness and knowledge and establishing and promoting opportunities to engage in mentally healthy activities. The ABC-framework was positively received and viewed as providing relevant knowledge for working with MHP as well as fostering intersectoral and interprofessional collaborations. However, using a bottom-up approach to develop and implement MHP initiatives can be time-consuming and resource demanding, and it requires a deliberate balancing of local adaptability and concrete guidance when engaging stakeholders and implementers. Overall, using the ABC-framework to develop and implement MHP initiatives holds great promise for advancing and promoting MHP practice.

The temperature on the surface of the immobilized catalyst could reach as high as 139 °C within 15 min IR irradiation. Due to the aforementioned advantages, the as-prepared catalyst exhibited excellent IR-triggered catalytic performance toward EMF production, where the EMF yields and selectivity were as high as 45% and 65%, respectively. The high catalytic performance originates from the outstanding photo-to-thermal conversion by the introduction of BCQDs, as well as the strong interactions between BCQDs and UiO-66-NH2 that boosts the etherification reactions. The immobilization of catalyst on cermasite not only benefits catalyst recycling, but more importantly reduces catalyst loss during practical applications. The conceptual study shown here provides new viewpoints in designing energy-effective materials for the conversion of wastes into high-value-added resources. The catalytic etherification of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) with the waste ethanol into high-energy-density 5-ethoxymethylfurfural (EMF) has been considered as a promising way to simultaneously alleviate the energy crisis and environmental pollution. However, the energy consumption is rather high as the synthesis of EMF requires a high temperature to open the etherification reaction. Herein, we demonstrate a clever design and construction of acidified biomass-derived carbon quantum dots (BCQDs)-modified UiO-66-NH Among them, NA0 is the initial molar amount of HMF, NA is the residual molar amount of HMF after the reaction, and NB is the molar amount of EMF after the reaction.An infrared lamp , simulating the solar light, was employed as input driven energy to trigger the etherification reaction. The output wavelength was set as λ > 750 nm. Typically, 50 mg of H+/BCQDs/UiO-66-NH2 is synthesized via a combined synthetic strategy of immerse and acidification treatment, where the as-prepared UiO-66-NH2 is firstly immersed in the BCQDs solution to obtain BCQDs/UiO-66-NH2, then the composites are further acidified by hydrochloride acid to form H+/BCQDs/UiO-66-NH2. As shown in +/BCQDs/UiO-66-NH2 features a particle morphology with a dense, stacked structure. An enlarged observation indicates the amorphous structure of the UiO-66-NH2 host material, as no obvious lattice fringes can be observed in the HRTEM images  of these two materials. As the C, N, O, S, and P elements are derived from the BCQDs according to our previously reported results [2. Moreover, it is interesting to note the uniform distribution of Cl− on the entire material. Since the Cl is not a constituent element of both UiO-66-NH2 and BCQDs, the observation of Cl distributing well on the materials is indicative of the successful protonation of BCQDs/UiO-66-NH2 that introduces Cl as charge compensation to that of H+. These results demonstrate the successful construction of H+/BCQDs/UiO-66-NH2. The powder-form acid catalyst of HM images b,c.

The dark color shown here not only suggests the successful immobilization of catalyst on the ceramsite, but also reflects the excellent light absorption property of the as-prepared immobilized catalyst [+/BCQDs/UiO-66-NH2 composed elements are found to be well distributed on the ceramsite. Especially, the Cl element is also found distributed on the material with an atomic content of 1.7%, demonstrating the successful installation of active sites on the immobilized material. Based on the above analysis, the immobilized H+/BCQDs/UiO-66-NH2@ceramsite catalyst has been successfully fabricated.In energy- and environmental-related areas, the difficulty in catalyst recycling is a bottleneck that restricts the practical application of powder-form catalyst. To overcome this drawback, we then chose ceramsite as a host material to immobilize the powder-form catalyst of Hcatalyst ,34 (whic2, H+/UiO-66-NH2, BCQDs/UiO-66-NH2, and H+/BCQDs/UiO-66-NH2 were further investigated by performing a nitrogen sorption–desorption isothermals test. As shown in 2, H+/UiO-66-NH2, BCQDs/UiO-66-NH2, and H+/BCQDs/UiO-66-NH2 were respectively tested and are shown to be 511, 535, 311, and 661 m2·g−1. It should be noted here that the acidification process could affect the porosity structure via H+ corrosion, thus causing H+/UiO-66-NH2 and H+/BCQDs/UiO-66-NH2 to exhibit a much higher surface area than that of the UiO-66-NH2 and BCQDs/UiO-66-NH2 counterparts. It is worth noticing here that the introduction of BCQDs on the MOFs led to a decrement in surface area by blocking the pores of the MOFs, as supported by the surface area decrement from 511 to 311 m2·g−1. However, the H+ etching of both the BCQDs and UiO-66-NH2 created abundant pores on both components. This can be further evidenced by the pore size distribution results shown in +/BCQDs/UiO-66-NH2 shows much higher pore volume that that of BCQDs/UiO-66-NH2. In addition, no obvious structure destruction can be found from the FT-IR results in It is believed that the catalytic activity of a catalyst is sensitive to the porosity structure, which affects the mass transfer and exposure number of active sites; thus, the as-prepared materials of UiO-66-NH2, H+/UiO-66-NH2, BCQDs/UiO-66-NH2, and H+/BCQDs/UiO-66-NH2 were further investigated by XPS. As shown in +/BCQDs/UiO-66-NH2 catalyst. Furthermore, all the materials produced comparable C 1s, N 1s, O 1s, and Zr 3d XPS spectra, demonstrating the high structural stability of UiO-66-NH2 against the modification of BCQDs and acidification treatment [2. This is further supported by the observation of the shift of O 1s and Zr 3d XPS spectra of BCQDs/UiO-66-NH2 toward a higher binding energy direction than that of the UiO-66-NH2 counterpart [+/BCQDs/UiO-66-NH2 give an additional shift toward higher binding energy compared with that of BCQDs/UiO-66-NH2, suggesting that the acidification treatment could have further promoted the interactions between BCQDs and UiO-66-NH2. The chemical structure of as-prepared catalysts of UiO-66-NHreatment . It shounterpart ,6. Surpr2 facilitated the interactions between BCQDs and UiO-66-NH2 and showed a shift of XPS spectra toward the blue direction, we then used this phenomenon as an indicator to probe the successful introduction of protons on the BCQDs/UiO-66-NH2. As shown in 2 is deconvoluted into two peaks with binding energies of 182.5 and 184.9 eV, respectively, assigned the Zr 3d5/2 and 3d3/2 levels [3/2 and 2p1/2 levels [2 shift toward the higher binding energy direction, indicating the successful introduction of proton sites on the composites after the facile hydrochloride acid treatment. This can be further confirmed by the Cl 2p spectra in +/BCQDs/UiO-66-NH2, which is deduced from the atomic amount of Cl in the composite. As the acidification of as-prepared material of BCQDs/UiO-66-NH2 levels , while t2 levels . Moreove2 levels . The mor2 host. The amount of BCQDs introduced and the concentration of hydrochloric acid used for the acidification are two key factors determining the catalytic performance of H +/BCQDs/UiO-66-NH2. In this regard, a systematic study was carried out, and the results are shown in +/BCQDs/UiO-66-NH2 synthesis was too high, the excess BCQDs aggregated into large carbon, which not only led to the sharp decrement of active sites for the catalytic reaction, but more importantly decreased the EMF production selectivity. This can be further supported by the selectivity decrement from 67% to 24% shown in We first evaluated the catalytic performance of as-prepared powder-form catalysts by using an electric furnace to heat the reaction flask so as to hold the reaction temperature of 100 °C. In this work, a combined BCQDs modification and acidification treatment was employed to functionalize the UiO-66-NH+ sites. The maximum EMF production activity was achieved when the HCl used for catalyst acidification was diluted 2 times, where the EMF yield reached 55% with the HMF-to-EMF selectivity of 66.9%. However, without diluting the HCl solution, the concentrated HCl with a highly corrosive property would largely etch the catalyst, leading to structure damage. As a result, both the EMF production yield and the HMF-to-EMF selectivity decreased from 55% and 66.9% to the final 28.9% and 65.1%, respectively. Based on the above results, the optimized conditions for catalyst synthesis were established and the optimized condition was used for the materials construction thereafter. To investigate the effect of the HCl concentration used for the catalyst acidification on the catalytic activity toward the conversion of HMF to EMF, HCl was diluted 1, 2, 4, and 8 times before the acidification treatment. As depicted in 2, H+/UiO-66-NH2, BCQDs/UiO-66-NH2, and H+/BCQDs/UiO-66-NH2, where the materials were fabricated based on the aforementioned optimized synthetic method. As shown in 2 nor for BCQDs/UiO-66-NH2, highlighting the importance of introduced H+ sites for converting HMF into EMF. It is interesting to find that although the EMF yield on these two catalysts was zero, more than 45% of HMF was converted. The HFM conversion on these two materials was due to the side reactions that covert HMF into other kinds of byproducts. After the acidification treatment, a noticeable EMF yield was then found on H+/UiO-66-NH2; however, the selectivity for the etherification of HMF into EMF was as low as 4.7%; while the selectivity for the etherification of HMF to EMF was almost 100%, demonstrating that the introduction an of H+ site on UiO-66-NH2 cannot prevent the unwanted serious side reaction. Excitingly, H+/BCQDs/UiO-66-NH2 exhibited excellent catalytic activity toward EMF generation, where the EMF yield and selectivity values reached as high as 55% and 66.9%, respectively. The enhanced catalytic activity should lead to the strong interactions between the BCQDs guest and UiO-66-NH2 host that suppresse the side reactions during the etherification of HME to EMF [We further investigated the catalytic performance of UiO-66-NHE to EMF , which i+/BCQDs/UiO-66-NH2 on to the ceramsite so as to make it easy for catalyst recycling. As shown in +/BCQDs/UiO-66-NH2@ceramsite shows excellent light absorption ability in the full range of solar light. Such an excellent light absorption, especially for the high IR light absorption property shown here, is beneficial for photo-to-thermal conversion. Before performing the IR-light-triggered etherification reactions, we first tested the light absorption property of the as-prepared catalysts, as the light absorption ability is a key factor affecting the IR light driving catalytic performance. As shown in +/BCQDs/UiO-66-NH2@ceramsite. Here, a 150 W IR light was the IR source used to simulate the solar light. As shown in With a high light absorption property, an infrared thermal imaging camera was employed to evaluate the photo-to-thermal conversion performance of H+/BCQDs/UiO-66-NH2@ceramsite using IR as input driven energy. Firstly, we studied the effect of calcination temperature during the immobilization of BCQDs/UiO-66-NH2 on the ceramsite on the final catalytic activity. As shown in 2, which suppressed the side reaction during the etherification of HMF to EMF. However, further raising the annealing temperature would more or less destroy the skeleton of the MOFs, thus reducing the catalytic activity. In addition, the higher temperature would inevitably lead to the sintering of the material, effecting the interactions between the BCQDs and UiO-66-NH2 [2 as well as the adhesive of BCQDs/UiO-66-NH2 on ceramsite is 300 °C.Based on the above analysis, we then carried out the catalytic etherification reaction by using the immobilized material of HO-66-NH2 . As a re+/BCQDs/UiO-66-NH2@ceramsite under these two conditions. As shown in 2 by high-temperature calcination during the immobilization process. To highlight the merits of using IR light instead of electric heat as driven energy to open the etherification reaction, we then evaluated the catalytic activity of H+/BCQDs/UiO-66-NH2@ceramsite was evaluated by four consecutive catalytic etherification cycles of HMF with ethanol to EMF. After each cycle, the immobilized catalyst was taken out of the system and washed with deionized water at least three time, and the catalyst was further dried before using it in the next cycle. As shown in +/UiO-66-NH2, H+/BCQDs/UiO-66-NH2 and H+/BCQDs/UiO-66-NH2@ceramsite are then illustrated in It is well accepted that catalyst stability is a very importance factor determining the large-scale practical application of the immobilized catalyst. In this regard, the stability of H+ /BCQDs/UiO-66-NH2 and H+ /BCQDs/UiO-66-NH2@Ceramsite were successfully prepared through simple steps using low-cost raw materials. The as-prepared catalysts showed considerably high catalytic activity toward the synthesis of EMF from HMF owing to the large specific surface area of UiO-66-NH2; a large number of acid catalytic active sites were exposed on the catalyst surface. The BCQDs and H+ can be successfully loaded onto the surface of UiO-66-NH2 due to the surface −NH2 groups on the UiO-66-NH2. Based on the catalytic test results, the highest acid catalytic activity of H+ /BCQDs/UiO-66-NH2 toward the directional transformation of HMF among all the tested materials can be attributed to the internal synergy between BCQDs and H+ in H+ /BCQDs/UiO-66-NH2. Moreover, the prepared immobilized acid catalyst H+ /BCQDs/UiO-66-NH2@Ceramsite showed pretty infrared absorption characteristics. The heat collection property of ceramsite carrier causes the H+ /BCQDs/UiO-66-NH2@Ceramsite to exhibit excellent acid catalytic activity regardless of heating or infrared irradiation. Therefore, the prepared H+ /BCQDs/UiO-66-NH2@Ceramsite catalyst is not only expected to be applied to industrial-scale production, but is also a broad prospect for photothermal co-catalysis.In this study, powder and immobilized heterogeneous acid catalysts H
