Rational synthesis of a new class of electrocatalysts with high-performance and low-cost is of great significance for future fuel cell devices. Herein, we demonstrate a general one-step simultaneous reduction method to prepare carbon-supported PdM (M = Co, Fe, Ni) alloyed nanodendrites with the assistance of oleylamine and octadecylene. The morphology, structure and composition of the obtained PdM nanodendrites/C catalysts have been fully characterized. The combination of the dendritic structural feature and alloyed synergy offer higher atomic utilization efficiency, excellent catalytic activity and enhanced stability for the formic acid oxidation reaction (FAOR). Strikingly, the as-synthesized PdCo nanodendrites/C catalyst could afford a mass current density of 2467.7 A g −1 , which is almost 3.53 and 10.4 times higher than those of lab-made Pd/C sample (698.3 A g −1 ) and commercial Pd/C catalyst (237.6 A g −1 ), respectively. Furthermore, the PdCo nanodendrites/C catalyst also exhibit superior stability relative to the Pd/C catalysts, make it a promising anodic electrocatalyst in practical fuel cells in the future. Additionally, the present feasible synthetic approach is anticipated to provide a versatile strategy toward the preparation of other metal alloy nanodendrites/carbon nanohybrids .

TC11 alloy is a promising structural material, and has a wide range of applications in many corrosive and high temperature hydrothermal systems. The passive film has an important influence on its electrochemical behavior. In this study, in-situ electrochemical methods (that is, open circuit potential (OCP), linear polarization (LP) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS)) were used to monitor the long period electrochemical behavior of TC11 alloy in 0.01 M Na2SO4solution at 300 °C/10 MPa. The growth kinetics of the passive film was mainly studied. The correlation between the evolution of the electrochemical behavior and the growth of the oxide film was discussed. The results showed that although the OCP gradually stabilized after twenty thousand seconds, henceforth the polarization resistance (Rp) was still increasing due to the thickening of the passive film. An equivalent circuit was proposed to fit the EIS experimental data, leading to determination of film capacitance and film resistance. Besides, the electrochemical data was interpreted in terms of the point defect model (PDM). The EIS results are consistent with theRpresults.Keywords:TC11 alloy;passive film;time;high temperature and pressure;EIS;PDM

Halloysite nanotubes (Hal) have drawn intensive attentions because of their unique nanotubular structure and large surface area. However, limited adsorption capacity and poor recyclability severely impeded their practical application for water remediation. Herein, to overcome the deficiencies of pristine Hal, we deliberately designed and prepared a series of anhydride and carboxylate functionalized Hal (Hal@PDM-COO − ) via self-stabilized precipitation polymerization. Owing to the merits of both nanotubular structure of Hal and high-density carboxylate ions in the shell layer, the Hal@PDM-COO − possessed a remarkable pH-dependent adsorption performance towards methylene blue ( b -MB). As the solution pH increased from 3 to 11, the sorption capacity increased remarkably from 179.1 to 459.1 mg/g. Furthermore, all sorption processes were better-fitted with pseudo-second-order and Langmuir models, exhibiting a maximum sorption amount of 302.1 mg/g at pH = 7. These results indicate that electrostatic attraction between positive b -MB molecules and negative carboxylate groups plays a dominant role during sorption process, and carboxylate groups distribute homogeneously in the shell layer of Hal@PDM-COO − . More importantly, Hal@PDM-COO − possessed outstanding recyclability, and the removal rate of b -MB kept >95% after five recycle runs. Considering the highly enhanced adsorption capacity, rapid adsorption rate and excellent reusability, the Hal@PDM-COO − showed significant potential for wastewater treatment.

The preparation of platinum-free electrocatalysts with ideal oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) activity is of great significance for cost-effective fuel cells. Herein, we synthesize a series of Pd-based (PdFe, PdCo, PdNi, and Pd) nanowires (PdM NWs). Their diameters are about 10 nm. And the lengths are up to even micrometers. The mass activity of the series of Pd-based catalysts followed the descending order: PdNi NWs/C > commercial Pt/C > PdCo NWs/C > PdFe NWs/C > pure Pd NWs/C. The optimal half-wave (E 1/2 ) of PdNi NWs/C (839 mV) is positive shift 138 and 25 mV compared with pure Pd NWs/C (701 mV) and commercial Pt/C (814 mV), respectively. The mass activity (MA) of PdNi NWs/C only dropped 28% after 10,000 potential cycles between 0.6 and 1.1 V versus RHE in acid medium. This work provides a promising and reliable strategy to synthesize high performance Pd-based electrocatalyst, which is promising alternative to expensive Pt-based electrocatalysts for fuel cells. Graphical Abstract TOC: We prepared bimetallic PdNi nanowires, which ORR mass activity higher than pure Pd nanowires and commercial Pt/C in acidic medium.

The field of thermo-thickening polymer interacting with clay has long been shrouded in mystery and ambiguity. Despite numerous studies and investigations, the complex interactions, underlying mechanism and binding forces remain elusive, imposing further exploration and elucidation. In this study, three thermo-thickening polymers such as poly(acrylamide methylpropane sulfonic acid-co-N-vinylcaprolactam) (PNV), poly(acrylamide methylpropane sulfonic acid-co-N,N-dimethylacrylamide) (PDM), and poly(acrylamide methylpropane sulfonic acid-co-N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNP) with clay fluids (CFs) were investigated to gain deeper understanding of the underlying physicochemical interactions. Techniques such as Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), proton nuclear magnetic resonance ( 1 H NMR), and elemental analysis (EA) elucidated the structural properties, whereas turbidimetry and rheometric analysis elucidated the temperature-induced phase transitions. The interactions between the different polymer side chains and clay double-sheets were investigated through isothermal adsorption testing, probing chemisorption and hydrogen bonding tuned the chemical properties, whereas electrostatic forces (ionic/van der Waals) bind the physical properties as demonstrated by Zeta (ζ) potential, XRD , high-resolution spectroscopy (XPS), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) imaging. The addition of 0.2–1.5 wt% of the polymers induced significant effect on the rheological properties of CFs, with increase in low shear viscosity and plastic viscosity, attributed to the formation of gel-like structures at high temperatures. PNV/Clay (NVBF)-modified fluid demonstrated exceptional fluid thickening and suspension behaviors compared to linear PDM/Clay (DMBF) and PNP/Clay (NPBF)-modified fluids. In addition, NVBF exhibited significantly higher adsorption energies and basal spacings, along with more crystalline patterns suited to embed clay particles. Overall, the synergistic effect of the different polymer side chains with clay particles provides valuable insights on the mechanistic and enhancement of rheological properties of CFs effective as shale inhibition, viscosifier and wellbore stabilization.

Pendimethalin (PDM), a dinitroaniline group herbicide, is extensively used for controlling weeds in amounts of agricultural crops. In this work, Hapten-1 and Hapten-2 were synthesized for the preparation of an anti-PDM monoclonal antibody (mAb), which was used to establish an indirect competitive ELISA. Based on the anti-PDM mAb, we developed an immunochromatographic assay (ICA) for detection of PDM in potato and apple. Under optimal conditions, the ICA exhibited a cut-off value of 200 ng/g and the visible limit of detection was 10 ng/g for apple and potato samples in qualitative detection. Analysis of quantitative detection suggested that the limit of detection were 5.4 and 3.2 ng/g in apple and potato samples, respectively. Moreover, the results obtained from the developed ICA strip were shown to coincide with those of LC–MS/MS in the analysis of apple and potato samples. In addition, the ICA exhibited excellent performance with regard to sensitivity, speed, and portability in contrast to previous determination methods for PDM. Hence, the proposed ICA strip showed superior prospects in PDM residue determination.

One-dimensional (1D) Pd-based nanowire materials, characterized by high aspect ratios and exposed high-index crystal surfaces, are widely developed in the field of direct fuel cells. However, their synthesis methods are often not universal and necessitate demanding conditions, including high temperatures and metal templates, leading to resource consumption. In this study, we present a simple and universal one-step method for synthesizing PdM (Sb, Ir, and Bi) nanowire networks (NNWs) at room temperature. Leveraging their structural advantages and the synergistic effects between bimetals, PdM NNWs demonstrate exceptional electrocatalytic performance, exhibiting higher mass and specific activities as well as enhanced durability compared to Pd/C for the ethylene glycol and glycerol oxidation reactions. Notably, PdSb NNWs excelled in electrochemical tests, achieving the highest mass activities of 7.55 and 5.59 A mg −1 for the ethylene glycol oxidation reaction (EGOR) and glycerol oxidation reaction (GOR), respectively. Additionally, due to the semi-metallic properties of Sb, which can flexibly modify the chemical environment of Pd, the PdSb NNWs exhibited superior antitoxicity and a significantly lower decay of current density across three consecutive chronoamperometry (CA) tests. This research advances the synthesis of palladium-based nanostructures, providing impetus for the design of highly efficient electrocatalysts in the realm of direct alcohol fuel cells.

Composite flocculant PAFS-PDM was prepared from Polymeric aluminium ferric sulphate (PAFS) and Poly (diallyl dimethyl ammonium chloride) (PDM) in this study. A bacterium was selected from the soil near the shale gas exploitation platform as a bioflocculant-producing bacterium, and polysaccharide was extracted and combined with PAFS-PDM to obtain composite bioflocculant (CBF) to treat shale gas fracturing flowback fluid. The prepared CBF was characterized and the results showed that the prepared PAFS-PDM contained aluminium-iron hydroxyl polymer, which was a cationic flocculant. By measuring the turbidity removal rate and chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal efficiency, the function mechanism of CBF on the shale gas fracturing flowback fluid was discussed. The results showed that CBF had a stable treatment effect on fracturing flowback fluid when the pH value was about 7.0. With the increase of dosage, the coagulation efficiency increased first and then decreased. When the dosage of the CBF was 2500 mg·L−1, the treatment effect of shale gas fracturing flowback fluid was the best, and COD removal rate reached 89.43%. Through Zeta potential analysis, it was concluded that one of the coagulation mechanisms was electrical neutralization. According to the characterization results, it could be concluded that both adsorption bridging and charge neutralization mechanisms played important roles in the treatment of shale gas fracturing flowback fluids.

The study provides a proof of concept for the first time that unique palladium–gold (PdAu) and palladium–silver (PdAg) nanodendrites are bifunctional catalytic active sites for formate oxidation reactions (FORs) and formate dehydrogenation reactions (FDRs). The unique nanodendritic structure was developed via a simple galvanic displacement reaction for the direct growth of PdAu and PdAg nanodendrites on a nickel foam (PdAu/NiNF and PdAg/NiNF). These PdAu/NiNF and PdAg/NiNF electrodes exhibited 2.32 and 1.59 times higher specific activity than that of the commercial Pd/C electrode and promising stability toward FORs. Moreover, the PdAu/NiNF and PdAg/NiNF nanodendrites were also highly active and selective catalysts for hydrogen generation from a formate solution with turnover frequency (TOF) values of 311 h−1 and 287 h−1 respectively. Impressively, a passive air-breathing formate fuel cell with PdAu/NiNF used as an anode can yield an open-circuit voltage of 1.12 V and a peak power density of 21.7 mW cm−2, which outperforms most others reported in the literature. PdAu and PdAg nanodendritic catalysts supported on a nickel foam demonstrate an open structure and uniform catalyst distribution and offer a promising nanoalloy for air-breathing formate fuel cells and on-site chemical hydrogen production systems.

Three dimensional (3D) noble-metal nanomaterials with special surface structures have been regarded as high-performance catalysts for alcohol oxidation on account of their superior thermal stability, electrical conductivity and large specific surface area. Although extensive efforts have been devoted to the preparation of 3D Pd-based catalysts with superior activity and stability, designing a simple, effective and eco-friendly method remains a challenge. Herein, we developed a facile one-step coreduction strategy to synthesize a series of 3D surface-wrinkled PdAu nanospheres (NSs) with tunable Pd/Au atomic ratios and found a universal method to prepare surface-wrinkled PdM (M = Au, Pt, Cu and Pb) NSs. Benefiting from the function of the surfactant cetyltrimethylammonium chloride (CTAC), the synthesized PdAu NSs with different composition possess abundant surface wrinkles, which is beneficial for exposing more electroactive centers. Attributed to the unique geometric morphology and optimized atomic ratio, the PdAu-2 NSs exhibited an optimal mass activity (MA) of 8103 mA mg −1 and 5113 mA mg −1 for the ethylene glycol oxidation reaction (EGOR) and ethanol oxidation reaction (EOR), which was 6.1 and 4.1 times that of commercial Pd/C, respectively. Moreover, the PdAu-2 NSs exhibited superb stability after long-term current–time (i-t) and cyclic voltammetry (CV) tests of the EGOR and EOR. This work not only provides new avenues to engineer PdAu NSs with enhanced electrocatalytic performance but also offers guidance for extending to more 3D PdM (M = other metals) NSs with novel morphology applied to fuel cell fields.
