Catalytic hydrogenation of aromatic nitro-compounds to corresponding aromatic amines is an environmental-friendly transformation for the production of dyes and pigments in industrial. Herein, an efficient low-coordinated Pt derived from Ni-Pt alloy archored on silica has been fabricated via dealloying process. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis confirmed an equivalent metal particle size to the reference dense Pt. Additionally, the characterizations revealed that the generation of unsaturated coordination in the resultant material leads to enhanced active surface area, increased fraction of low-coordinated and electron-enriched Pt. The as-prepared low-coordinated Pt catalyst was applied for liquid-phase m-dinitrobenzene (m-DNB) hydrogenation. Under the reaction conditions of ambient temperature, atmospheric pressure and m-DNB/Pt molar ratio of 140, both the m-DNB conversion and the selectivity to m-phenylenediamine (m-PDA) reached 99% within 2 h, superior to those observed over the reference dense Pt and the reported Pt-based catalysts. The enhanced catalytic properties were attributed to the promotional effect of unsaturated coordinated structure, which provided more Pt active sites with low coordination number and high electron density. This study demonstrates the importance of unsaturated coordination in metallic catalysts and establishes a powerful protocol for the design of an effective metal catalyst for the hydrogenation of a range of nitroaromatic compounds.

The catalytic hydrogenation of halonitroarenes to haloanilines is a green and sustainable process for the production of key nitrogen-containing intermediates in fine chemical industry. Chemoselective hydrogenation poses a significant challenge, which requires the rational design of the catalysts with proper hydrogenation ability for nitro group and simultaneously preventing dehalogenation of halogen group. Herein, a highly effective Rh@Al 2 O 3 @C single-atom catalyst (SAC) was developed for the hydrogenation of m -chloronitrobenzene ( m -CNB) to m -chloroaniline ( m -CAN), through an in-situ grafting of metal during the assembly of MIL-53 (Al), followed by confined pyrolysis . Extensive characterizations reveal an exquisite structure of the Rh@Al 2 O 3 @C, containing atomically dispersed Rh sites onto Al 2 O 3 confined by the amorphous carbon. The five-coordinated aluminum (Al V ) species are essential for achieving the atomic dispersion of Rh atoms, providing the unsaturated coordinative sites for metal. Compared to the benchmark Rh/γ-Al 2 O 3 and Rh/C nanocatalysts, the Rh@Al 2 O 3 @C SAC affords an excellent turnover frequency of 2317 mol m -CNB ·mol Rh –1 ·h –1 , the highest value to date in heterogeneous catalyst systems for the hydrogenation of m -CNB at 313 K and 20 bar H 2 , together with a sustained selectivity to m -CAN (~98%) during five consecutive runs. The superior catalytic performance of the Rh@Al 2 O 3 @C is attributed to a proper modulation of electronic structure of hydrogenation metal by forming SAC, together with an enhanced accessibility of acid function sites.

The corrosion of positive grid alloys is important for determining the service life of lead-acid batteries (LABs). Herein, we prepared a series of PbCaSnAl-M (M = Mg, Sr, Ba) alloys by an induction melter and systematically investigated the effect of Mg, Sr and Ba on their microstructures and corrosion resistance. The results show that the average grain size of PbCaSnAl-Mg reduces from 14.56 μm to 11.96 μm, and the average grain size of PbCaSnAl-Sr and PbCaSnAl-Ba increases to 25.95 μm and 39.17 μm, respectively. The addition of Sr and Ba reduces the corrosion rate of PbCaSnAl alloys from 0.366 mg h −1 cm −2 to 0.258 and 0.289 mg h −1 cm −2 , respectively. The increase corrosion resistance is due to the Sr and Ba change the microstructures of the corrosion layer and improve the densification of the corrosion layer.

Reasonable design and couple of efficient co-catalysts on photoanodes for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) are crucial for photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting. However, the interaction principles and charge transport mechanisms at the interface remain unclear. Herein, SrCoO 3-δ perovskite single-crystal quantum dots (PSC QDs) are coupled onto the BiVO 4 surface via M-O-M bonds, forming a three-dimensional porous topological network structure. The band alignment between BiVO 4 and SrCoO 3-δ is favorable for charge carrier separation. The interfacial field in BiVO 4 /SrCoO 3-δ via M-O-M bonds facilitates the redistribution of charges by detailed experiments and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The enhanced band bending at the interface promotes efficient charge separation and fast hole transfer. The introduction of SrCoO 3-δ PSC QDs modulates the electronic structure for BiVO 4 , inducing an increase in the electron density near the Bi/V sites. The p-type SrCoO 3-δ , with Co 3 + -O 2- -Co 4+ double exchange interactions, improves conductivity and provides active Co sites for OER, reducing the reaction energy barrier of the rate-determining step (RDS) (*O→*OOH) and thus facilitating rapid water oxidation. A significant photocurrent density of 5.05 mA cm −2 at 1.23 V vs. REH is achieved for the BiVO 4 /SrCoO 3-δ photoanode. Meanwhile, temporal and spatial evolution for charge carrier transfer kinetics and OER dynamics were systematically investigated for the BiVO 4 /SrCoO 3-δ photoanode. This work sheds new insights into the design and understanding of efficient co-catalysts for solar water splitting.

Persulphate-based advanced oxidation technology efficiently and cost-effectively removes organic dyes from water but designing stable photocatalytic systems and understanding their reaction mechanisms remain key challenges. Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) have attracted considerable research attention for degrading organic pollutants owing to their high porosity, tunable structure, and ease of modification. In this study, a series of M-MOF-74 (M = Co, Fe, Ni) photocatalysts are synthesized by a hydrothermal method for methylene blue (MB) degradation. Among them, the Co-MOF-74 photocatalytic synergetic peroxymonosulfate system exhibits high catalytic activity after 30 min of visible light irradiation. MB degradation efficiency reaches 94.8%, and the reaction rate constant is 0.210 min−1, which is approximately 19.44 times higher than the reaction rate constant of the original Co-MOF-74. Compared with Fe-MOF-74 and Ni-MOF-74, Co-MOF-74 exhibits better photocatalytic performance due to the dynamic changes in the valence state of cobalt, which more effectively facilitate the activation of PMS. In addition, this study analyses the possible degradation pathways of MB in water and toxicological evaluations of intermediate products, providing new insights for the effective removal of dyes in water.

A facile and fast microwave-assisted approach without any other pre/post-treatment has been proposed to hydrothermally synthesize six kinds of MFI-type heteroatom (Mn, Ga, Ti, Sn, Cr, Zr) zeolites. By comparing with oven heating mode, it is found that microwave field displays a positive effect on the introduction of partial heteroatoms in the zeolite framework. Moreover, differing from the conventional heating, microwave irradiation displays different influences on the different heteroatom zeolites because different heteroatoms cause different polarities and wave-absorption abilities of M–O bonds under microwave irradiation. Furthermore, this positive effect of microwave is embodied not only on heteroatom zeolite synthesis and heteroatom state in zeolite framework but also the resultant catalytic performance. This finding provides an easy route for the synthesis of novel heteroatom zeolite being difficult to prepare by conventional mode, along with a new direction for the exploration of microwave effect.

M−Mo−N (M = Co, Ni) bimetallic nitrides, known for their distinctive mechanical, magnetic and electrical properties, hold significant potential as microwave absorption (MA) materials. However, it remains challenge to obtain high-performance microwave absorbers from these bimetallic nitrides. In this work, the rod-like MoO 2 /Co 2 Mo 3 N/Co 3 Mo 3 N/Ni 3 Mo 3 N (MoCoNi) composites consisting of connected nanoparticles are fabricated in situ. The plentiful interfaces between the connected nanoparticles and between the different components effectively enhance the interfacial polarization, the rod-like structure benefits to conduction loss, and crystal defects facilitate strong dipole polarization. Therefore, MoCoNi composites achieve outstanding absorption properties with the reflection loss of −55.69 dB at 8.08 GHz and the effective absorption bandwidth of 6.48 GHz (11.36–17.84 GHz) at 2.4 mm. The actual MA performance of MoCoNi composites is verified through radar cross section simulation. This study proposes a novel approach for the utilizing of M−Mo−N (M = Co, Ni) bimetallic nitrides in microwave absorptions.

Rare-earth infrared nonlinear optical (IR NLO) compounds have garnered significant attention due to their abundant electronic structures. However, their NLO efficiency has been relatively modest, attributed to the localization of valence electron shells in rare-earth metals. Traditional design strategies for IR NLO materials have predominantly focused on MQ4 (M = metal, Q = S or Se) tetrahedra, with limited exploration of MQ6 octahedra. We introduce a novel approach to enhance NLO effects by incorporating distorted mixed anionic octahedral M(S/X)6 groups. To illustrate this strategy, we undertake structure modification and optimization of IR NLO performance using the Y–Ga–Ge–S system as an example. The synthesis of a new rare-earth chalcogenide, Y6Ga2GeS14 (1), serves as a foundation. Further halogen atom substitution yields Y6Ga4.2S13.6Cl3.4 (2), Y6Ga2.83Ge2S16.75Cl (3), and Y6Ga2.83Ge2S16.5Br1.5 (4). All compounds demonstrate remarkable NLO performance, including moderate NLO coefficients (0.17–0.70 × AgGaS2), large laser-induced damage thresholds (LIDTs) (3.78–6.19 × AgGaS2), and a broader transmission range (0.5–14.9 μm). The incremental enhancement of NLO efficiency in compounds 1–4 can be attributed to symmetry breaking induced by halogen atom substitution and increased distortion of the octahedral M(S/X)6 motifs in their structures, validating the effectiveness of our strategy. Notably, this strategy concurrently increases the band gap and LIDT, overcoming the NLO–LIDT incompatibility, being strikingly different from other reported approaches. This work provides new insights into optimizing the NLO performance of rare-earth IR NLO compounds through the modulation of octahedral motifs.

Metal-organic frameworks (MOF) have been wildly synthesised and studied as electrode materials for supercapacitors, and bimetallic MOF of Ni and Co has been broadly studied to enhance both specific capacitance and stability of supercapacitors. Herein, a best performance (about 320 F/g) of Ni–Co bimetallic MOF was found in a uniform preparation condition by adjusting the ratio of Ni to Co. Then tiny third metal ion was introduced, and we found that the morphology of material has a significant change on the original basis. Furthermore, certain ions (Zn, Fe, Mn) introduced make a huge improvement in capacitance based on Ni–Co MOF of 320 F/g. The result shows that Zn–Ni–Co MOF, Fe–Ni–Co MOF and Mn–Ni–Co MOF perform specific capacitance of 1135 F/g, 870 F/g and 760F/g at 1 A/g, respectively. Meanwhile, the asymmetric supercapacitor (ASC) was constructed by Zn–Ni–Co MOF as positive electrode and active carbon (AC) as negative electrode. The Zn–Ni–Co MOF//AC ASC possesses a energy density of 58 Wh/kg at a power density of 775 W/kg. This research provides a new methods to regulate the morphology of MOF and a novel viewpoint for assembling high-performance, low-price, and eco-friendly green energy storage devices.

The M-modified TiO 2 nanotubes (NTs) (M = Ce, Ga, Co, Y, 2.0 wt%) were synthesized by combining sol-gel method with hydrothermal treatment, based on which gold was loaded by the deposition–precipitation approach. These catalysts were loaded with 1.5 wt% gold and calcined at 300 °C, and their catalytic performance was compared with Au/TiO 2 NTs in CO oxidation. TEM results manifested Au/M-TiO 2 NTs (M = Ce, Ga, Co, Y) had smaller gold nanoparticles than Au/TiO 2 NTs. Patterns of XPS revealed the presence of the strong interaction between gold and support in Au/M-TiO 2 NTs (M = Ce, Ga, Co, Y). Ce 4+ , Ga 3+ , Co 2+ , and Y 3+ ions were present as CeO 2 , Ga 2 O 3 , CoO, and Y 2 O 3 in Au/M-TiO 2 NTs (M = Ce, Ga, Co, Y), respectively. Based on O 2 -TPD studies, Au/M-TiO 2 NTs (M = Ce, Ga, Co, Y) provided new O 2 adsorption sites for the adsorption and activation of oxygen in CO oxidation. M (M = Ce, Ga, Co, Y) modifying performed the positive effect on CO oxidation activity and Au/Y-TiO 2 NTs showed the highest activity among these catalysts. Additionally, Au/Y-TiO 2 NTs also performed excellent high-temperature stability. It was likely that the strong interaction between gold and support created the small size of gold nanoparticles, large O 2 adsorption and plenty of defects, thereby enhancing the catalytic activity of Au/M-TiO 2 NTs (M = Ce, Ga, Co, Y).

M-gallate (M = Ni, Co) coated stainless steel meshes (SSMs) were fabricated through a cost-effective and environmentally friendly synthesis approach of electrodeposition for a sustainable solution of oil/water separation. The M-gallate/500-mesh, synthesized in just 120 s, exhibit super hydrophilic properties owing to the rich hydroxyl groups (–OH) inherent in their metal–organic framework (MOF) structure which significantly enhance their performance in oil/water separation. The nano-sized randomly oriented crystals growth of Co-gallate/500-mesh showed the excellent separation performance with a water flux of 93.3 ± 5.2 × 10 3 Lm −2 h −1 and separation efficiency of 99.8 ± 0.1 % while Ni-gallate/500-mesh exhibit a water flux of 71.5 ± 5.9 × 10 3 Lm −2 h −1 and separation efficiency of 99.6 ± 0.2 % for the separation of light oil toluene/water mixture. To assess practical applicability, the M-gallate/500-mesh were tested for seawater/oil mixtures. Notably, the separation efficiency remained above 99 % for both Ni-gallate/500-mesh and Co-gallate/500-mesh while the seawater flux slightly increased for Ni-gallate/500-mesh. Moreover, M-gallate/500-mesh demonstrated good separation performance and chemical stability under alkaline conditions coupled with rapid and facile synthesis, indicating their potential for practical oil/water separation.

m-Cresol and p-cresol are widely used in medicine and pesticides as important chemical intermediates. They are generally produced as a mixture in industry and are difficult to separate due to the similarities in both chemical structures and physical properties. The adsorption behaviours of m-cresol and p-cresol on zeolites (NaZSM-5 and HZSM-5) with different Si/Al ratios have been compared by static experiments. Selectivity on NaZSM-5(Si/Al = 80) could be greater than 6.0. Adsorption kinetics and isotherms were investigated in detail. The kinetic data was correlated by PFO, PSO, and ID models, the NRMSE of which were 14.03%, 9.41%, and 21.11%, respectively. In the meanwhile, according to the NRMSE of Langmuir (6.01%), Freundlich (57.80%), D-R (1.1%), and Temkin (0.56%) isotherms, adsorption on NaZSM-5(Si/Al = 80) was mainly a monolayer and chemical adsorption process. It was endothermic for m-cresol and exothermic for p-cresol. The Gibbs free energy, entropy, and enthalpy were calculated accordingly. The adsorption of cresol isomers on NaZSM-5(Si/Al = 80) were both spontaneous, and it was exothermic (ΔH = −37.11kJ/mol) for p-cresol while endothermic (ΔH = 52.30kJ/mol) for m-cresol. Additionally, ΔS were respectively −0.05 and 0.20 kJ·mol−1·K−1for p-cresol and m-cresol, which were both close to zero. The adsorption was mainly driven by enthalpy. The result of breakthrough further demonstrated m-cresol and p-cresol could be separated effectively by NaZSM-5(Si/Al = 80). Additionally, the selectivity increased from 7.53 to 14.72 after four cycles regeneration with 9.95% and 53.96% decreases in the adsorption amounts for m-cresol and p-cresol, respectively. In conclusion, NaZSM-5(Si/Al = 80) could be a feasible adsorbent for the separation of m-cresol and p-cresol.
