Desulfurized gypsum, a byproduct of industrial processes, can be efficiently recycled through solid-phase reaction to synthesize CaFe 2 O 4 . This study investigates the reaction mechanism of CaFe 2 O 4 formation from CaSO 4 , Fe 2 O 3 , and semi-coke powder using thermodynamic modeling with Factsage 8.3 software. The phase composition and microstructure of the resulting products under varying semi-coke contents and sintering temperatures were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy coupled with energy-dispersive spectroscopy (SEM-EDS). Total Fe and S contents were quantified using inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES) and a C/S Analyzer. The results indicate that increasing the semi-coke content from 11.11 wt% to 20.00 wt% leads to an initial rise and subsequent decline in CaFe 2 O 4 yield, while S content exhibits an opposite trend. Similarly, elevating the sintering temperature from 1050°C to 1150°C results in increased CaFe 2 O 4 formation up to 1125°C, beyond which a decrease is observed, alongside a continuous reduction in S content. Optimal synthesis conditions were identified at 15.79 wt% semi-coke and 1125°C, achieving a desulfurization rate of 95.40 % and confirming effective formation of CaFe 2 O 4 . Compared to conventional reducing agents such as coke and C powders, the use of semi-coke enabled a reduction in the required sintering temperature from 1150°C to 1125°C. These results provide a valuable reference for the low-temperature, high-efficiency recycling of desulfurized gypsum into functional ferrite materials.

In our study, the synthesis conditions of ternary alloyed ZnCdS quantum dots (QDs) with different Zn/Cd molar ratios were investigated. Our results indicated that the optimal reaction conditions of ZnCdS QDs with various molar ratios were different. The ternary ZnCdS QDs were synthesized by a rather simple, facile, low-cost and effective aqueous synthesis method using air-stable compounds. UV–visible (UV–Vis) absorbance and photoluminescence (PL) emission spectra of the ZnCdS QDs showed a blue shift with the decrease of Cd, indicating the formation of alloyed QDs. The optimal reaction conditions, such as refluxing time and S/(Zn+Cd) molar ratios were different for ZnCdS QDs with different Zn/Cd ratios. The cause of the difference was attributed to the different properties of metal ions. In addition, the investigation on the photostability showed that the as-prepared ternary alloyed QDs had strong light resistance. Therefore, the ternary alloyed QDs with outstanding optical properties and high photostability showed potential biological applications and the results also offered new insights for the synthesis of ZnCdS QDs.

The synthesis of zeolite ETS-10 is strongly influenced by factors such as pH, the amount of the structure-directing agent, hydrothermal temperature and duration, which collectively affect the material’s morphology and structure. This study thoroughly investigates the effects of these parameters on the synthesis of ETS-10 zeolite using TiCl 3 and a waterglass solution. Characterization of the materials was performed through X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), and nitrogen isotherm adsorption-desorption at 77 K (BET-BJH) techniques. The findings indicate that pH and the structure-directing agent significantly influenced the phase composition , while hydrothermal temperature predominantly determined the crystallization rate of ETS-10. Optimal synthesis conditions were established at an initial pH of 11, employing 0.3 g of the structure-directing agent and conducting hydrothermal crystallization at 230 °C for 24 h. Under these conditions, the ETS-10 zeolite produced exhibited a high surface area of 300.1 m 2 /g, making it effective in removing Pb 2+ ions from solution. In particular, when tested under optimal conditions (pH 5) for 600 min, Pb (II) adsorption by ETS-10 reached a maximum uptake capacity of 956.19 mg/g, as determined by the Langmuir isotherm model. This capacity surpasses that of as-synthesized ETS-10 prepared from alternative Ti sources and other materials used in previous studies on Pb(II) adsorption.

A novel red phosphor, NaHF2:Mn4+ (NHF:Mn), was obtained via substituting Na+ located at the center of the octahedron coordinated with six F− ions with Mn4+ in the host lattice of NHF. The phase purity and the exact composition of the obtained NHF:Mn were confirmed by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), Rietveld refinement, energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and infrared (IR) spectroscopy, respectively. The luminescence intensity of NHF:Mn was enhanced by optimizing the synthetic conditions. A series of warm white light-emitting diodes (WLEDs) with a color rendering index (CRI) higher than 88.0 and correlated color temperatures (CCT) between 3146 and 5172 K were obtained by encapsulating the as-prepared red phosphor NHF:Mn with the yellow one Y3Al5O12:Ce3+ (YAG:Ce) on blue chips. The advantage of the synthetic strategy to obtain NHF:Mn can be extended to develop novel Mn4+ doped red phosphors via substituting for central ions with unequal electric charge in the centers of octahedra.

TiCl 2 is a promising precursor for producing metallic titanium alloys and titanium-based ceramics. However, the effective synthesis of high-quality TiCl 2 powder remains challenging. Herein, a fluidized bed reactor (FBR) providing a high gas–solid contact area was employed to synthesize TiCl 2 powder using a reliable TiCl 4 –Ti reaction system. Optimal reaction conditions (600 °C and 120 min) were determined for the proposed Ti–TiCl 4 system by kinetic investigation. A dense Ti layer was regenerated upon the original surface of the Ti powder as a result of TiCl 2 disproportionation at high temperature (above 700 °C), which impeded infiltration by gaseous TiCl 4 . The particle size of the Ti reducing agent played a vital role in the production of TiCl 2 powder. A mean particle size of 24.5 μm was confirmed to be the most feasible option based on the optimal chlorinated depth (17 μm).

InP quantum dots (QDs) are considered as the most promising alternative to Cd-based QDs with lower toxicity, and emission spectrum tunability ranging from the visible to near-infrared region. Although high-quality fluorescent InP QDs have been successfully synthesized by several groups, the rigorous synthesis conditions hinder its practical use in display devices. In this work, for the first time, we introduce Zn2+ into the growth stage of the InP QDs to prepare an InP–In(Zn)P core, and then the as-grown InP–In(Zn)P cores were consecutively coated with typical double shells of inner ZnSe and outer ZnS. The final InP–In(Zn)P/ZnSe/ZnS core/shell/shell QDs exhibited a maximum photoluminescence (PL) quantum yield (QY) of 94.3% and have tunable emissions from yellow (569 nm) to red (630 nm), showing a potential application in display devices. Above all, compared with other related studies, the excellent PL properties were obtained in relatively milder conditions (ultimate vacuum level of 400 mTorr). The results of this study provide guidance for the commercial application of InP QDs as a viable alternative to Cd-based QDs.

The metallophilic properties, spherical configuration, and flexible coordination of silver ions make them prone to create various coordination modes and structural features. Therefore, with the increase of the complexities of self-assembly, the effect of various synthetic conditions in the final structure of silver compounds becomes diverse and attractive. In this study, two new silver polyclusters, 16- and 21-nuclearity, protected by multiple ligands including alkynyl, trifluoroacetate, and diphenylphosphinate, were synthesized and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, powder X-ray diffraction, and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The optical properties and thermal stability of the polyclusters were studied by solid-state ultraviolet–visible (UV–vis) absorption and solid UV–vis diffuse reflectance spectra and gravimetric analysis, respectively. The formation of the two polyclusters can be fine-controlled by simply adjusting the stoichiometric ratio of diphenylphosphinate ligands to silver precursors under the same synthetic condition, leading to the different coordination modes between ligands and Ag centers. This work shows a facile and template-free method to synthesize and control the silver polycluster assembly, encouraging further development of new polyclusters with the potential for various applications.

The surface-modified zinc oxide quantum dots (ZnO QDs) have broad application prospects in the field of biomedicine because of their good water solubility, dispersibility, and high fluorescence stability. The alkali bases play important roles in controlling the morphology, size distribution, dispersity, and fluorescence intensity of the synthesized ZnO QDs. In this article, ZnO QDs were synthesized to induce hydrolysis–condensation reaction. The influences of alkali bases (LiOH, NaOH, and KOH) and the ratio of n (Zn 2+ ): n (OH − ) on the properties of synthesized ZnO QDs were investigated. The results show that the particle size of the ZnO QDs prepared using LiOH and NaOH as raw materials are smaller than that using KOH. ZnO QDs prepared at the ratio of n (Zn 2+ ): n (LiOH) = 1:1 have the best fluorescence performance and dispersibility.

In developing a magnetic material for the recovery of phosphate from water/wastewater, both high magnetization and high uptake ability for phosphate are highly desirable. In our quest to obtain such a magnetic material, hydrous zirconia-coated magnetite nanocomposite (Fe 3 O 4 @ZrO 2 ) has been synthesized at different end-point pH values and stirring rates. The results indicated that the saturation magnetization of Fe 3 O 4 @ZrO 2 increased almost linearly with increasing end-point pH, and high stirring rate caused low magnetization. The magnetization behavior was closely related to the formation of the mineral magnetite, which was hindered at either low end-point pH or fast stirring rate. In contrast to magnetization, phosphate adsorption capacity decreased with increasing end-point pH, whereas the stirring rate had little effect. It is concluded that adopting a relatively low end-point pH and a low stirring rate is a good strategy for obtaining a Fe 3 O 4 @ZrO 2 material with good magnetic separability and a high affinity for P.

Clinoptilolite (CP) with various morphologies, such as spherical, flower, cylindrical, and disc-shape, were successfully synthesized in the presence of alcohol solvents with different carbon chain lengths. The structural and textural properties of the resultant CPs were characterized via XRD, SEM, TG-DSC profiles, TEM, NMR, FT-IR spectra, and N 2 sorption isotherms. The effect of the additive amount of various alcohol solvents on the induction (nucleation) periods and growth stages of synthetic CPs were detailed investigated. Their activation energies of induction ( E n ) and growth ( E g ) periods during crystallization intervals were calculated according to the Arrhenius equation, where the former being larger than the latter, indicating that nucleation is the key step during the whole synthesis of CPs. Particularly, the E n value gradually increased as the increasing chain-length of the used alcohol, but smaller than that without additive alcohols. These demonstrations implied that the presence of alcohol solvents is beneficial to promote the nucleation process of synthetic CP. Furthermore, their CH 4 and N 2 adsorption capacity and selectivity were preliminary explored, showing the highest selective factor of 5.58 at 0 °C for CH 4 /N 2 separation using flower-like CP as an adsorbent. These results suggested a promising adsorbent for wide applications in gas separation.

Spherical α-Al 2 O 3 particles with the size of 1–2 μm were obtained by microwave hydrothermal(M-H) method and subsequent microwave calcination. In the synthesis, Al 2 (SO 4 ) 3 ·18H 2 O was used as the aluminum sources, and CH 4 N 2 O was used as the precipitant. The effects of M-H temperature, heating preservation time and pressure in the reactor on the morphology, phase composition, particle size and surface area of the particles were studied. The results show that amorphous precursors with high sphericity and good dispersion can be rapidly (30 min) produced by M-H method at low temperature (100 °C). Increasing the temperature or extending the holding time will destroy the spherical morphology of the precursor, while transforming its phase from amorphous to γ-AlOOH. Pressure in the reactor does not change the phase composition of the precursor, but affects its dispersion and homogeneity. The precursor retains its spherical morphology after microwave calcination at 1100 °C for 90 min. The resulting powders were hot pressed and sintered at 1650 °C for 30 min to obtain a high-performance ceramic plate with a thermal conductivity of 27.1 W/(m·K) and a Vickers hardness of 21.4 GPa.

Achieving high-performance materials with superior mechanical properties and electrical conductivity, especially in large-sized bulk forms, has always been the goal. However, it remains a grand challenge due to the inherent trade-off between these properties. Herein, by employing nanodiamonds as precursors, centimeter-sized diamond/graphene composites were synthesized under moderate pressure and temperature conditions (12 GPa and 1,300 to 1,500 °C), and the composites consisted of ultrafine diamond grains and few-layer graphene domains interconnected through covalently bonded interfaces. The composites exhibit a remarkable electrical conductivity of 2.0 × 104 S m−1 at room temperature, a Vickers hardness of up to ~55.8 GPa, and a toughness of 10.8 to 19.8 MPa m1/2. Theoretical calculations indicate that the transformation energy barrier for the graphitization of diamond surface is lower than that for diamond growth directly from conventional sp2 carbon materials, allowing the synthesis of such diamond composites under mild conditions. The above results pave the way for realizing large-sized diamond-based materials with ultrahigh electrical conductivity and superior mechanical properties simultaneously under moderate synthesis conditions, which will facilitate their large-scale applications in a variety of fields.
