In this work, aiming to evaluate and compare the luminescent property of Eu3+ doped La(OH)3 nanorods and its decomposed compounds of LaOOH and La2O3, La(OH)3: Eu3+ nanorods were synthesized and the decomposition behaviors in air and hydrogen were revealed. Then the luminescent property of 0%–8% Eu3+ doped La(OH)3 nanorods and the 300 °C–800 °C calcined La(OH)3: Eu3+- 4% were studied. Results show that LaOOH is intermediate product during the degradation of La(OH)3 in air or H2, which can be formed at a temperature range in 372.3 °C–592.9 °C in air. Intensity of emission spectra of La(OH)3: Eu3+ nanorods increases with the rising of Eu3+ dopant concentration, and the emission property of Eu3+ doped LaOOH and La2O3 is varied and strengthened with that of La(OH)3: Eu3+. Luminescent matrixes of LaOOH and La2O3 show similar emission spectrum and intensity, and the transitions of the D0 → 7F1 and D0 → 7F2 of Eu3+ each bifurcate into two peaks for both europium (III) doped La2O3 and LaOOH. The revealed results suggest that LaOOH is a relative thermal-stable compound and should be an appropriate matrix as similar as La2O3 for luminescent applications.

Excessive phosphate in wastewater can cause eutrophication of water body, which will worsen the ecological environment and threaten human health and biological life safety. Adsorption of phosphate is the most effective way to remove phosphate, and efficient adsorbent is the key. Amorphous La(OH) 3 has been deemed as a potential phosphate adsorbent on account of high adsorption capacity and environmentally friendly property. However, it also shows some disadvantages such as easy agglomeration, poor water dispersion. In this study, UiO-66-NH 2 was used as carrier to load amorphous lanthanum hydroxide as an adsorbent for phosphate removal. The adsorbent (UiO-66-NH 2 @La(OH) 3 , ULCs) has good water dispersibility and it is easy to be separated and recovered. At the same time, the maximum phosphate adsorption capacity can reach 140.7 mg P/g. The adsorption process accords with pseudo second order kinetic model and Freundlich isotherm model. The thermodynamic results showed that the adsorption process was spontaneous and endothermic. In addition, in the presence of coexisting anions (such as Cl − , SO 4 2− , NO 3 − ), it also exhibited high selectivity and phosphate removal efficiency. Meanwhile, the adsorption capacity keeps at a high level in the range of pH 3–11. By the merit of above-mentioned properties, the prepared material is expected to be an ideal candidate for phosphate removal from contaminated water.

Due to the prevailing energy shortages, the pursuit of new alternative energy sources is becoming increasingly urgent. Hydrogen production through water electrolysis has emerged as a crucial method. However, the sluggish four-electron reaction in the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) remains the primary rate-limiting step. In this study, we synthesized a heterostructure La(OH) 3 @CuO-P material on the nickel foam (NF) substrate. The experimental results demonstrate that after phosphating treatment, the heterostructure La(OH) 3 @CuO-P exhibits exceptional catalytic performance with only 215 mV overpotential, a Tafel slope value of 79.36 mV/dec, and a bilayer capacitance of 39.02 mF/cm 2 at a current density of 10 mA/cm 2 for OER in a 1 M KOH solution. These values are significantly superior compared to those obtained using heterostructure La(OH) 3 @CuO alone which showed an overpotential value of 365 mV at a current density of 10 mA/cm 2 . Moreover, during cyclic voltammetry testing for up to 500 cycles, La(OH) 3 @CuO-P also demonstrates relatively stable performance. Analyses suggest that composite heterostructure effectively addresses issues such as insufficient conductivity of La(OH) 3 and monomer aggregation tendency for CuO while maintaining excellent properties for each component. By incorporating P atoms as dopants, the interaction between La, Cu, and P atoms not only facilitates fine-tuning of the electronic structure and optimization of the adsorption free energy (-OH), but also promotes an increase in catalytic active sites through sample size reduction, thereby further augmenting the performance of the OER.

Superparamagnetic Fe3O4particles have been synthesized by solvothermal method, and a layer of dense silica sol polymer is coated on the surface prepared by sol-gel technique; then La(OH)3covered the surface of silica sol polymer in an irregular shape by controlled in situ growth technology. These magnetic materials are characterized by TEM, FT-IR, XRD, SEM, EDS and VSM; the results show that La(OH)3nanoparticles have successfully modified on Fe3O4surface. The prepared Fe3O4@La(OH)3inorganic polymer has been used as adsorbent to remove phosphate efficiently. The effects of solution pH, adsorbent dosage and co-existing ions on phosphate removal are investigated. Moreover, the adsorption kinetic equation and isothermal model are used to describe the adsorption performance of Fe3O4@La(OH)3. It was observed that Fe3O4@La(OH)3exhibits a fast equilibrium time of 20 min, high phosphate removal rate (>95.7%), high sorption capacity of 63.72 mgP/g, excellent selectivity for phosphate in the presence of competing ions, under the conditions of phosphate concentration 30 mgP/L, pH = 7, adsorbent dose 0.6 g/L and room temperature. The phosphate adsorption process by Fe3O4@La(OH)3is best described by the pseudo-second-order equation and Langmuir isotherm model. Furthermore, the real samples and reusability experiment indicate that Fe3O4@La(OH)3could be regenerated after desorption, and 92.78% phosphate removing remained after five cycles. Therefore, La(OH)3nanoparticles deposited on the surface of monodisperse Fe3O4microspheres have been synthesized for the first time by a controlled in-situ growth method. Experiments have proved that Fe3O4@La(OH)3particles with fast separability, large adsorption capacity and easy reusability can be used as a promising material in the treatment of phosphate wastewater or organic pollutants containing phosphoric acid functional group.Keywords:superparamagnetic;Fe3O4@La(OH)3inorganic polymer;phosphate adsorption

ABSTRACT In this study, La(OH) 3 -loaded Juncus effusus (La-JE) with a three-dimensional structure was prepared via an in-situ precipitation and then wrapped in a cellulose membrane. The La-JE not only avoided the leakage of La(OH) 3 but also was separated from solution easily. The optimal pH for phosphate removal by the La-JE was 6. The removal rate of phosphate was positively correlated with adsorption time, La-JE dosage and reaction temperature, and negatively correlated with phosphate concentration. The adsorption process conformed to pseudo-second-order kinetic model and was better fit by Freundlich model. At 25°C, the maximum adsorption capacity of the La-JE was 22.75 mg·P/g. The influence of SO 4 2– , Cl – , NO 3 – , NH 4 + , HCO 3 – and CO 3 2– on phosphate removal was negligible, suggesting that the La-JE had good anti-interference ability. Mechanism analysis showed that the removal process of phosphate was related to both ligand exchange and surface precipitation. The application in real water environment exhibited that the La-JE had good potential for advanced dephosphorization of sewage treatment plant and natural waterbody remediation.

Biomass-derived furfural and its derivatives are promising feedstocks for producing valuable C 5 diols by catalytic hydrolysis. However, this process requires selective ring opening of tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol (THFA) to 1,5-pentanediol, which is challenging. Here we report efficient route for this conversion using Ni-La(OH) 3 catalysts prepared by a green co-precipitation-hydrothermal method. We show that these catalysts can achieve up to 91.7% yield and 94.6% selectivity of 1,5-pentanediol from THFA under mild conditions. We elucidate the key role of the La(OH) 3 phase, the basic sites and the Ni n+ -O-La 3+ structure of the catalysts in promoting the selective hydrogenolysis and ring opening of THFA. We also demonstrate that the co-dehydrogenation of secondary alcohols enables lower reaction pressure and longer catalyst lifetime. Our work provides a sustainable and environmentally benign approach for producing 1,5-pentanediol from biomass-based furfural and its derivatives, which has potential applications in polymer synthesis and green chemistry.

It has been found it more difficult in completely degrading A-ring of tetracycline (TC) than completely degrading B-D rings of tetracycline. Thus, it is very necessary to find an effective route to completely degrading A-ring of tetracycline. In this work, a Z-scheme heterojuncted core-shell La(OH) 3 @BaTiO 3 composite (LB) was designed and fabricated through hydrothermal method . Many characterization techniques were employed to investigate the microstructure, phases, composition, energy band structure , and the lifetime of photogenerated carriers. In the mean time, the photocatalytic properties, including the degradation of A-ring and B-D rings of TC, as well as active species during photo-degradation were investigated. It is found that the as-prepared LB has an improved lifetime of photo-produced carriers, as well as high photocatalytic properties, being attributed to the core-shell structured heterojunction La(OH) 3 @BaTiO 3 . In addition, it is also found that ·O 2 − is more effective on degrading A-ring of TC than other active species, likely owed to the PKa3 value (3.3) of A-ring in TC. This work has supplied a route to completely degrading the A-ring of TC: rationally design and prepare a Z-scheme heterojuncted composites which supply very negative conduction band bottom potential.

Constructing Z-scheme heterojunction photocatalyst with strong redox ability to make for enhanced photocatalytic performance and efficient charge separation is extremely attractive but still underdeveloped. Herein, a Z-scheme heterojunction structured La(OH) 3 @In 2 S 3 composite (labeled by “LIS”) with photocatalytic for the methylene orange (MO) degradation under simulated light irradiation has been developed. The as-prepared LIS, together with commercial La(OH) 3 and pure In 2 S 3 fabricated with the identical processing method and starting materials as those of LIS, was characterized by X-ray diffraction, UV–vis diffuse reflectance spectra, scanning electron microscopy, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, photoluminescence spectra and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The results show the heterojunction of La(OH) 3 /In 2 S 3 has prolonged the lifetime of the photo-generated carriers. The photocatalytic activity test shows that over only a small amount (0.02 g in 100 ml MO) of LIS, the photodegradation rate of 95% toward MO can be obtained in 90 min, which is about 3.4 times higher than that over pure In 2 S 3 . The active species trapping experiments indicate that there were four active species playing roles in photodegradation as the following order: e – = ∙OH < h + < ∙O 2 – . A mechanism of Z-scheme heterojunction was proposed and well explained the enhanced photocatalytic performance. This work provides a new cost-effective photocatalyst with high photocatalytic properties.

The long-chain alkanes obtained from the hydrodeoxygenation of plant oils are ideal substitutes for diesel. In this work, a new efficient catalytic system was established for the conversion of plant oil to long-chain alkanes under mild conditions with a bi-functional Ru/La(OH)3 catalyst. The hydrodeoxygenation of stearic acid was performed in an autoclave with Ru-based catalysts with different supports (HZSM-5, ZSM-5, SiO2–Al2O3, SiO2, ZrO2, Mg(OH)2, La(OH)3, and La2O3). Among these catalysts, Ru supported on basic La(OH)3 showed a remarkable catalytic performance for the reaction. Over 98% of long-chain alkanes were obtained with 100% conversion of stearic acid at 200 °C and 4 MPa H2. When crude Jatropha oil was hydrogenated, about 80.7 wt% of long chain alkanes were obtained under the optimized conditions (200 °C, 4 MPa H2, 8 h). The high efficiency of the Ru/La(OH)3 catalyst could be due to a co-effect of the high hydrogenation activity of Ru and the basic La(OH)3 support which can attract the acidic raw material. Additionally, the Ru/La(OH)3 catalyst was recycled four times and maintained a good activity and stability. The reaction pathway was also explored by using stearic acid as a model compound. Hydrogenation–decarbonylation could be the main pathway to produce n-heptadecane, which has one carbon atom less than stearic acid.

Developing high-efficiency adsorbents with sufficient active species to remove phosphate from wastewater is still a significant and formidable challenge. Herein, a metal-ion modification strategy was developed to construct a series of lanthanum (La 3 + )-functionalized zirconium-based metal-organic frameworks containing different functional groups through a one-step solvothermal process. The investigations for the influence of functional groups of ligands on the resulting La species and the role of La(OH) 3 in the phosphate removal are the primary focuses of this research. Unlike the simple La doping in UiO-66, UiO-66-NH 2 and many previously reported MOF systems, La(OH) 3 was in situ formed during the preparation of La-functionalized UiO-66-OH, which was confirmed by powder X-ray diffraction. At room temperature, the optimized 0.5La-UiO-66-OH, with a molar ratio of La 3+ versus the total metal precursor of 0.5, exhibits a desirable adsorption capacity of 219.6 mg g −1 , exceeding those of UiO-66 (146.8 mg g −1 ), UiO-66-OH (158.9 mg g −1 ), and many reported adsorbents. Besides, reusability tests demonstrate that 0.5La-UiO-66-OH can maintain high adsorption performance (96 %) after five cycles and the practical usability of by 0.5La-UiO-66-OH is confirmed using real lake water. In-depth investigations (X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy) on mechanism unveiled that the adsorption of phosphate by 0.5La-UiO-66-OH involved a combined process of electrostatic attraction and ligand exchange. This research presents the first regulation of generating active La species within MOFs through subtle modification and provides valuable insights for wastewater treatment.

La(OH) 3 /BiOCl n-n heterojunction (BCL) was successfully fabricated by facile microwave technique. Photocatalytic performance experiments confirmed that BCL-20 can degrade 20 mg/L tetracycline hydrochloride (TC-HCl) about 85% in 60 min, which is 2 and 0.5 times higher than that of BiOCl and La(OH) 3 , respectively. The photocatalytic mechanism reveals that the co-effect of oxygen vacancies (OVs) and rebuilt internal electric field induced by heterostructure not only broaden the light-responsive range but also augment the separation efficiency of photogenerated carriers, thus improving the photocatalytic properties of BCL. This work provides a new avenue for improving the photocatalytic performance of Bi-based photocatalysts by heterojunction and OVs.

Hydrous hydrazine (N2H4·H2O) is considered to be a promising chemical hydrogen storage carrier due to its high hydrogen content (8.0 wt%), production of only N2 in addition to H2, and facile recharging as a stable liquid. In this work, for the first time, CoPt NPs supported on La(OH)3 are used as a highly effective catalyst for selective decomposition of N2H4. Surprisingly, the La(OH)3 nanosheet-supported CoPt NPs exhibit superior catalytic performance, releasing 3 equiv. (H2 + N2) with turnover frequency (TOF) values of up to 734.2 h−1 at 303 K and 2400 h−1 at 323 K; these are higher than those of most reported catalysts for the dehydrogenation of N2H4. Especially, CoPt/La(OH)3 can be easily separated from the reaction solution using a magnet due to its super-paramagnetic nature, and it can maintain its high activity and 100% selectivity even after five cycles. The high performance of CoPt/La(OH)3 can be attributed to the electronic interaction between Co and Pt, strong basic sites on the surface of La(OH)3 and a synergistic cooperative effect between the ultrafine CoPt NPs and the La(OH)3 support. The development of a high performance Co-based catalyst may promote the effective application of hydrous hydrazine as a promising hydrogen storage material.
