heterostructured Ni/ graphene nanocomposites were constructed via electrostaticinduced spread by following in situ-reduction growth process for magnetically recyclable catalysis of p-nitrophenol to paminophenol. The heterostructures with large 2D surface and moderate inflexibility enable the superior catalytic activity and selectivity toward hydrogenation reaction for p-nitrophenol. On the basis of high-efficiency utilization of Ni Nps catalysis activity and electron-enhanced effect from graphene, the coupling effect of Ni/graphene magnetic nanocomposites can lead to highly catalytic activity for the hydrogenation reaction of p-nitrophenol with the pseudo-first-order rate constants of 11.7 × 10 −3 s −1 , which is over 2-fold compared to Ni Nps (5.45 × 10 −3 s −1 ) and higher than reported noble metal nanocomposites. Complete conversion of p-nitrophenol was achieved with selectivity to p-aminophenol as high as 90% under atmosphere and room temperature. Additionally, this heterostructured magnetic nanocatalyst can be efficiently recycled with long lifetime and stability over 10 successive cycles. This work displayed the value of non-noble metal/graphene nanocomposites in catalysts development for green chemistry.

Ginkgo biloba L. is one of the most extensively planted and productive commercial species in temperate areas around the world, but slow-growth is the most limiting factor for its utilization. Fertilization is one of the key technologies for high quality and high forest yield. To better understand the impacts of fertilization on Ginkgo productivity, the effects of fertilization treatments (single fertilizer and combined fertilizer) on growth, nutrient content in Ginkgo leaves, and photosynthesis characteristics were studied in a 10-year-old Ginkgo plantation over two years. The single factor experiments suggested that DBH (diameter at breast height), H (height), NSL (length of new shoots), and V (trunk volume) showed significant differences between the different levels of single nitrogen (N) or phosphate (P) fertilizer application. Orthogonal test results showed that the nine treatments all promoted the growth of Ginkgo, and the formula (N: 400 g·tree −1 , P: 200 g·tree −1 , potassium (K): 90 g·tree −1 ) was the most effective. G s (stomatal conductance) and P n (net photosynthesis rate) showed significant differences between the different amounts of single N or P fertilizer application, while single K fertilizer only affected P n . Combined N, P, and K fertilizer had significant promoting effects on C i (intercellular CO 2 concentration), G s and P n . N and P contents in Ginkgo leaves showed significant differences between the different amounts of a single N fertilizer application. A single P fertilizer only improved foliar P contents in Ginkgo leaves. A single K fertilizer application improved N and K content in Ginkgo leaves. The effects of different N, P, and K fertilizer treatments on the nutrient content of Ginkgo leaves were different.
