The capture of radioactive gaseous iodine is essential for the sustainable development of nuclear energy and the long-term safe supply of nuclear fuel. However, the presence of nitrogen oxides in the exhaust gas generated during spent fuel reprocessing poses significant challenges to the stability of iodine adsorbents. It is crucial to consider the impact of NOx on the structure and adsorption performance of the materials. We report here the development of an aluminum-based metal–organic framework (MOF), CAU-1, engineered for efficient iodine capture. Synthesized through a cost-effective and straightforward method, CAU-1 exhibits excellent structural stability and robust adsorption performance, with a maximum iodine vapor adsorption capacity of 1277.18 mg/g at 130 °C and methyl iodide adsorption capacity of 533.10 mg/g, highlighting its potential for efficient iodine vapor removal. Notably, CAU-1 retains its structural integrity and iodine adsorption performance even in the presence of 5 % NO 2 , maintaining high adsorption capacities for I 2 (1129.41 mg/g) and CH 3 I (436.79 mg/g). Mechanistic analysis revealed the key role of the –NH 2 group in the iodine adsorption process. Additionally, co-adsorption studies with I 2 and NO 2 showed that CAU-1 can still capture iodine in the form of both I 2 and I 3 - in the presence of NO 2 . This study illustrates the potential of CAU-1 as an effective industrial adsorbent for removing iodine from NO 2 -containing gas streams.

The effect of TiC on corrosion process, particularly the passive and initial stages, is unclear. The passivation and initial corrosion of 2024-TiC AMCs are investigated in this report. It is found that a small amount of TiC improves corrosion resistance by reducing galvanic corrosion current density and forming a stable passive layer with low Cl⁻ adsorption and cation vacancy density, minimizing dissolution. However, excessive TiC causes uneven distribution, aggregation of Cl⁻, and passive film rupture, leading to anode aluminum dissolution and accelerated pitting corrosion propagation. These findings highlight the balance requirement for optimal TiC additive used in enhancing corrosion resistance.

With the improvement of industrial production requirements, the thermal shock resistance (TSR) of the materials used in industrial kilns plays a crucial role in ensuring efficient production. Aluminum-based heat storage ceramic balls (HSCB) are widely used in high-temperature industrial kilns, but they have a problem of weak TSR. A similar situation existed in the HSCB with corundum and Mg-Al spinel phases in our previous research. In this study, corundum-spinel-mullite HSCB was prepared using pre-treated secondary aluminum dross (SAD) as the main material at low roasting temperature. The effects of mullite content on the mechanical properties and microstructure of the HSCB were studied. Mullite whiskers were cross-distributed with corundum and Mg-Al spinel, which benefited the TSR. With the increase of mullite content, the structure of the HSCB gradually became loosely, the TSR increased and then decreased slightly, and linear crack density increased. When mullite content was about 25 %, the comprehensive performance of HSCB performed perfectly. Under the optimal conditions, the coefficient of thermal expansion of the HSCB was only 5.70 × 10 −6 K −1 , the thermal conductivity reached 3.35 W/(m·K) and the TSR was 34 times. This study aimed to provide a theoretical reference for the preparation of aluminum-based ceramic HSCB, as well as to improve the high-value utilization of SAD.

PurposeThis study aims to reveal the tribological mechanism of synergistic effect between MoDTC and P-containing additives in aluminum-based grease.Design/methodology/approachThe authors prepared a molybdenum dialkyl dithiocarbamate (MoDTC) and revealed the tribological mechanism of synergistic effect between MoDTC and P-containing additives in aluminum-based grease by combining with ZDDP and P-containing and S-free additives.FindingsThe MoDTC the authors prepared has good friction-reducing and anti-wear properties in aluminum-based grease and has an obvious synergistic effect with ZDDP. MoDTC and ZDDP have a significant synergistic effect on the tribological properties in aluminum-based grease, mainly because of the formation of phosphates and metaphosphates as well as more MoS2in the friction film. P element plays a facilitating role in the chemical conversion of MoDTC to MoS2.Originality/valueThe experiments of MoDTC with tributyl phosphate and trimethylphenyl phosphate confirm that the P element plays a facilitating role in the chemical conversion of MoDTC into MoS2.Peer reviewThe peer review history for this article is available at: https://publons.com/publon/10.1108/ILT-12-2023-0410

Vapor spontaneously diffuses from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration as a consequence of the Second Law of Thermodynamics and the hunt for maximum entropy. The distribution of substances with lower saturated vapor pressures on a surface can create this concentration slope in the space. However, most substances, except ice, cannot maintain this slope because humidity sinking causes their saturated vapor pressure to drop. Moreover, the location of ice growth is difficult to control. In this paper, a pattern of CaCl2 was made on the micronano hierarchically aluminum substrate. When the temperature drops below zero, the vapor pressure at the position where CaCl2 is located is low relative to that of water as a way to achieve a continuous phase transition from solid CaCl2 to brine to ice. Thus, vapor nearby continuously diffuses to and deposits at the site, resulting in a lasting dry region around without water condensation. The frost growing on the pattern is also fluffy and can be easily removed by gravity and/or wind. This work has promising applications in areas where it is extremely difficult to use active deicing methods.

Achieving effective load transfer at the interface between carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and aluminum (Al) is a crucial issue for fabricating high-performance CNTs reinforced Al matrix (CNT/Al) composites. In this work, CNT/Al composites with different Ti additions and the compared materials were prepared by powder metallurgy . Micro-sized Ti particles in which CNTs are well-dispersed firstly circumvent the difficulty of CNT dispersion, and subsequently act as nucleation site for sandwiched TiAl 3 layers that lock the dispersed CNTs in place and improve the CNT-Al interface bonding. Additionally, Ti addition not only allows modification of the dispersed CNTs but also enhances the strength of the composites by enhancing the load-bearing capacity of the CNTs through in situ formation of nano-sized titanium carbide (TiC). This work provides a new approach to improve the load transfer efficiency of CNTs by strengthening the interface bonding for fabricating high strength CNT/Al composites.

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are considered one of the promising adsorbents for CH 4 /N 2 separation. However, MOFs commercialization is a big challenge since their synthetic materials are expensive and not environmentally friendly. Herein, the dealumination solution obtained from coal fly ash (CFA) using sulfuric acid as an extracting agent through direct leaching and roasting technologies was applied as metal feedstock to prepare CFAx-FumMOF-y and compared to aluminum fumarate MOF (Al-FumMOF) in morphology, surface area, micropore volume, and CH 4 /N 2 selective separation. The results indicated that CFAx-FumMOF-y exhibited closely similar surface area (1164.94–1073.08 m 2 /g) and micropore volume (0.40–0.36 cm 3 /g) to Al-FumMOF (1287.55 m 2 /g, 0.42 cm 3 /g), even there were no detectable differences in CH 4 uptakes (CFAx-FumMOF-y, 21.93–20.69 cm 3 /g; Al-FumMOF, 22.13 cm 3 /g) at 298 K and 1.0 bar, suggesting that the impurity metal species in dealumination solution hardly affect textural properties and gas uptakes. Moreover, the isosteric heat of adsorption (Q st ) and IAST CH 4 /N 2 selectivity of CFAs-FumMOF-1 (19.25–17.84 kJ/mol) and CFAb-FumMOF-1 (18.83–18.64 kJ/mol) were slightly superior to Al-FumMOF (17.83.64–16.86 kJ/mol, 4.87), suggesting that CFAx-FumMOF-1 played an identical role as Al-FumMOF in gases separation. The cyclic regeneration experiments and binary breakthrough tests further confirmed that CFAx-FumMOF-y was feasible for practical application. This study provides a new perspective for reducing the production cost of MOFs as well as realizing high-value utilization of CFA.

Underwater vehicles can conduct underwater exploration and military rescue operations and play a significant role in marine economic development and national defense. The fluid resistance control and corrosion resistance of underwater vehicles are essential indexes for evaluating the performance of underwater vehicles in particular marine environments and harsh conditions. The 7075 aluminum alloy, widely used in spacecraft shells, was selected as the material. We prepared a drag-reduction and robust surface based on shark skin by laser-ablation and plasma electrolytic oxidation. Then, the surface free energy was further modified by chemical modification. The ceramic coating exhibited superhydrophobicity with a water contact angle of 155.6° and roll-off angle (RA) of 5.5°. Compared with Bare Al, the corrosion current density of the superhydrophobic ceramic coating was reduced by 4 orders of magnitude since ZnO-NPs could notably enhance the corrosion resistance of Al alloys. Moreover, due to the protective effect of the ceramic coating and microstructure, the superhydrophobic coating exhibited excellent mechanical durability. Based on numerical simulation, the drag reduction effect of biomimetic microstructure under different Reynolds numbers was investigated. The experimental results indicated that biomimetic microstructure demonstrated notable drag reduction capabilities compared to smooth surfaces, stabilizing at approximately 28% during laminar flow states. Thus, applying this coating method to the underwater vehicle shell was expected to reduce the fluid resistance and extend the operational lifespan in the marine corrosive environment.

Superhydrophobic ceria on the aluminum substrate was fabricated, and its corrosion resistance was investigated by different techniques. For example, the so-obtained superhydrophobic sample was immersed into the NaCl aqueous solution, and the variations in the surface wettability as well as the surface morphology were monitored; potentiodynamic polarization in the NaCl aqueous solution was adopted to evaluate its electrochemical corrosion resistance; a droplet of the aqueous solution HCl was dripped onto the superhydrophobic surface, and the corrosion process as well as the surface morphology after corrosion was monitored. The experimental results showed that the superhydrophobic ceria possessed a good corrosion resistance because of the entrapped air in the solid/liquid interface.

In this work, a robust epoxy adhesive (EP) @ superhydrophobic SiO 2 (SH-SiO 2 )-based superhydrophobic coating was prepared on the aluminum substrate by a simple one-step spraying strategy. The prepared EP@SH-SiO 2 coating exhibits hierarchical micro/nanostructures and is capable of maintaining a contact angle of more than 150° after 1000 cm of abrasion length and 80 tape-peeling repetitions. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and quantum mechanics calculations show that the improved mechanical resistance is attributed to the enhanced interfacial interaction between the EP@SH-SiO 2 coating and the underlying substrate induced by the epoxy adhesive. Electrochemical measurements in 3.5 wt% NaCl solution show the corrosion inhibition efficiency of the EP@SH-SiO 2 coating reaches up to 99.99%, and even after 8 days of immersion, the low frequency impedance modulus of the EP@SH-SiO 2 sample is still ∼1 order of magnitude higher than that bare aluminum, demonstrating excellent long-term corrosion protection. The diffusion behavior of the corrosive medium in the EP@SH-SiO 2 coating was revealed by MD simulation to support the experimental results. Additionally, the EP@SH-SiO 2 coating exhibits good chemical stability and hydrophobic repair properties. This work will provide a new perspective for the preparation and study of robust superhydrophobic aluminum for corrosion protection properties.

The development of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs)–based heterogeneous catalysts with both Lewis acid and Brønsted acid sites has proved to be promising and useful because they offer an economical route to synthesize environment-friendly biofuels. Here, a series of Al-based MOFs, functionalized by single -H, -NH 2 , and -NO 2 groups, are successfully synthesized and applied as supports to load phosphomolybdic acid (HPMo) through a facile one-pot hydrothermal method, by forming composites of HPMo@Al-MOFs-X (where X = -H, -NH 2 , and -NO 2 ), and it was used to esterify fatty acids into biodiesel. The structural features of the prepared hybrid materials were evaluated by various techniques, including XRD, FTIR, BET, SEM-EDS, NH 3 -TPD, Py-FTIR, TG, and XPS. The material characterization revealed that the catalytic behavior of the prepared HPMo@AlB composite is better than HPMo@AlB-NH 2 , HPMo@AlB-NO 2 , and pure AlB. The optimized conversion of oleic acid (OA) is 97.5% under the optimized reaction conditions. Moreover, the composite maintained above 90% conversion after nine cycles and demonstrated excellent reusability. This outstanding catalytic activity and stability is mainly attributed to the large specific surface area (138.4 m 2 /g), appropriate pore volume (0.47 cm 3 /g), and mesoscale pore size (17.7 nm) of HPMo@AlB composite that reduced the mass transfer resistance, high total acidity, and the synergistic effect of Lewis acid and Brønsted acid sites and ensures efficient esterification. The present research introduces an important reference for advancing high-performance MOFs-based hybrid materials to industrialize biofuels production.

Al/NH 4 CoF 3 - Φ ( Φ = 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0 and 3.0) binary composites and Al-NH 4 CoF 3 @P(VDF-HFP) ternary composites are fabricated via ultrasonication-assisted blending and electrostatic spraying. The effect of equivalence ratio ( Φ ) on the reaction properties is systematically investigated in the binary Al/NH 4 CoF 3 system. For ternary systems, electrostatic spraying allows both components to be efficiently encapsulated by P(VDF-HFP) and to achieve structural stabilization and enhanced reactivity through synergistic interfacial interactions. Morphological analysis using SEM/TEM revealed that P(VDF-HFP) formed a protective layer on Al and NH 4 CoF 3 particles, improving dispersion, hydrophobicity (water contact angle increased by 80.5% compared to physically mixed composites) and corrosion resistance. Thermal decomposition of NH 4 CoF 3 occurred at 265 °C, releasing NH 3 and HF, which triggered exothermic reactions with Al. The ternary composites exhibited a narrowed main reaction temperature range and concentrated heat release, attributed to improved interfacial contact and polymer decomposition. Combustion tests demonstrated that Al-NH 4 CoF 3 @P(VDF-HFP) achieved self-sustaining combustion. In addition, a simple validation was done by replacing the Al component in the aluminium-containing propellant, demonstrating its potential application in the propellant field. This work establishes a novel strategy for designing stable, high-energy composites with potential applications in advanced propulsion systems.
