Abstract Due to the high Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) surface area of zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF)-8, a secondary crystallization method was used to prepare a particle electrode of γ-Al2O3@ZIF-8. According to the results from a field emission scanning electron microscope (SEM) and X-ray diffractometer (XRD), the particle electrode of γ-Al2O3 was successfully loaded with ZIF-8, and the BET surface area (1,433 m2/g) of ZIF-8 was over ten times that of γ-Al2O3. The key operation parameters of cell voltage, pH, initial RhB concentration and electrolyte concentration were all optimized. The observed rate constant (kobs) of the pseudo-first-order kinetic model for the electrocatalytic oxidation (ECO) system with the particle electrode of γ-Al2O3@ZIF-8 (15.2 × 10−2 min−1) was over five times higher than that of the system with the traditional particle electrode of γ-Al2O3 (2.6 × 10−2 min−1). The loading of ZIF-8 on the surface of γ-Al2O3 played an important role in improving electrocatalytic activity for the degradation of Rhodamine B (RhB), and the RhB removal efficiency of the three-dimensional (3D) electrocatalytic system with the particle electrode of γ-Al2O3@ZIF-8 was 93.5% in 15 min, compared with 27.5% in 15 min for the particle electrode of γ-Al2O3. The RhB removal efficiency was kept over 85% after five cycles of reuse for the 3D electrocatalytic system with the particle electrode of γ-Al2O3@ZIF-8.

Urban color is becoming more and more important in the construction of smart cities. This research mainly discusses the influencing factors of AHP-based 3D regional color smart city construction. From the perspective of city managers, the factors selected in the article that affect the choice of urban color planning are economic development, urban culture, designer’s ideas, customs, and natural environment. We use GIS to comprehensively collect basic geographic information data of the city. We use CityEngine and GIS data to quickly create virtual cities. When constructing the AHP model, once the weight value of each factor in the color-influencing factors of the entire smart city is obtained, the total ranking of the levels needs to be checked once. After that, the study uses the MATLAB program platform to realize the parametric design of the main color of the city, including the control of the changes in the spatial structure of the main color of the city, followed by the control of the transition and coordination mode between the key elements of the city color. Explorer provides comprehensive and rich 3D digital city roaming browsing, query positioning, analysis, and other functions; supports the loading of multiple data sets from the Internet and local; and can dynamically load massive 3D city simulation models above and below ground. Finally, the design of the urban architectural color or improvement plan is further carried out, and the urban color main color design plan is finally implemented in the implementation of the urban architectural color, which effectively realizes the quantitative control of the urban color. When evaluating smart city color resources, the color weight value of public facilities is 0.147, which accounts for 14.7% of the total weight value. This research helps to enhance the regional and local cultural characteristics.

Bi2S3/MoS2/g-C3N4 nanocomposite was synthesized using a solid-state method for the first time. Thiourea and bulk Bi2MoO6 were used as the precursors and were reacted under a nitrogen atmosphere. Bi2S3/MoS2/g-C3N4 was characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microcopy, X-ray photoelectron spectra and ultraviolet–visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy. The structure of Bi2S3/MoS2/g-C3N4 is a three-dimensional network structure formed by uniform loading of g-C3N4 and MoS2 around the rod-like Bi2S3 framework. The photodegradation performance was evaluated by the degradation of rhodamine B during irradiation by a 350 W Xe lamp. The degradation rate of Bi2S3/MoS2/g-C3N4 towards rhodamine B reached 95.1% after irradiation for 150[Formula: see text]min. This study will provide new insights into the design of efficient and stable heterostructures for photocatalytic applications.
