Several Ru-Ti oxide-based catalysts were investigated for the catalytic oxidation of HCl to Cl2in this work. The active component RuO2was loaded on different titanium-containing supports by a facile wetness impregnation method. The Ru-Ti oxide based catalysts were characterized by XRD, N2sorption, SEM, TEM, H2-TPR, XPS, and Raman, which is correlated with the catalytic tests. Rutile TiO2was confirmed as the optimal support even though it has a low specific surface area. In addition to the interfacial epitaxial lattice matching and epitaxy, the extraordinary performance of Ru-Ti rutile oxide could also be attributed to the favorable oxygen species on Ru sites and specific active phase-support interactions. On the other hand, the influence of additive Ce on the RuO2/TiO2-rutile was studied. The incorporation of Ce by varied methods resulted in further oxidation of RuO2into RuO2δ+and a modification of the support structure. The amount of favorable oxygen species on the surface was decreased. As a result, the Deacon activity was lowered. It was demonstrated that the surface oxygen species and specific interactions of the Ru-Ti rutile oxide were critical to HCl oxidation.

The occurrence of metal oxide nanoparticles (NPs) in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) has raised great concerns about their adverse impacts on nitrification performance. In this study, a heterotrophic nitrifying bacterium Pseudomonas putida strain NP5 showed strong resistance against TiO 2 and NiO NPs. Under 5–50 mg/L NP stress, cell viability was still normal, and the final nutrient removal rates, always higher than 80%, were slightly inhibited. Correspondingly, the PO 4 3− -P removal rates were almost the same as those observed in the control test. Although the enzyme assay demonstrated ammonia monooxygenase and hydroxylamine oxidoreductase activities markedly decreased caused by increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) level under 50 mg/L NPs stress. The total antioxidant capability of NP5 could eliminate excess ROS to maintain a balance between oxidants and antioxidants. Besides, in response to the escalating burden of NPs, strain NP5 tended to secrete more extracellular polymeric substances (EPS), which could protect cell from being damaged by binding to ions and coating. Thus, the strong NP resistance of NP5 would help to overcome the vulnerability of the nitrification process in WWTPs.

P2-Na0.6Li0.11Fe0.27−xMn0.62YxO2 (x = 0, 0.5%, 1%, and 2%) cathode materials were successfully prepared using a traditional solid-state method with ball milling-assisted modification. The effect of Y-doping on the crystal structure, grain size, morphology and sodium storage performance of Na0.6Li0.11Fe0.27Mn0.62O2 was investigated using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), galvanostatic charge–discharge cycling tests, cyclic voltammetry (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The results demonstrated that the ball-milling pre-treatment method could effectively reduce the grain size and mitigate the aggregation of Na0.6Li0.11Fe0.27Mn0.62O2. Additionally, reasonable Y-doping (x = 1%) significantly enhances the rate capability and cycling stability of Na0.6Li0.11Fe0.27Mn0.62O2via improving the Na+ diffusion kinetics and the reversibility of the oxygen redox reaction. These results indicate that Na0.6Li0.11Fe0.26Mn0.62Y0.01O2 is a promising candidate material for high-rate and long-life cathodes for Na-ion battery application.

Yttrium oxide (Y 2 O 3 ) nanoparticles were added to the electrolyte during the preparation of a plasma-electrolytic-oxidation (PEO) coating on the AZ91 Mg alloy. The effects of the Y 2 O 3 nanoparticles on the microstructure, phase components, chemical compositions, and mechanical properties of the PEO coating were investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and microhardness tests. Furthermore, the corrosion resistance of the PEO coating was evaluated by pote ntiodynamic polarization curves and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The results indicated that the Y 2 O 3 nanoparticles had been incorporated into the PEO coating and that the number of micropores and cracks in the coating was dramatically decreased. The microhardness of the PEO coating was more than 10 times higher than that of the AZ91 Mg substrate, and the corrosion current density decreased by approximately three orders of magnitude when 3 g/L of Y 2 O 3 nanoparticles was added to the corresponding electrolyte.

Ti 2 Nb 1 0 O 2 9 (TNO) is considered as a potential anode material due to its high capacity/power density and reliable safety. However, its poor electronic conductivity restricts its rate performance, which is important for its application in electric vehicles (EVs). In this study, we fabricated a hybrid of Ti 2 Nb 1 0 O 2 9 − x /holey-reduced graphene oxide (TNO x /HRGO) by a two-step method. In the structure of TNO x /HRGO, TNO x microspheres with oxygen vacancies are wrapped by gossamer-like HRGO. The oxygen vacancies of TNO x and the high conductivity of HRGO can effectively enhance the electronic conductivity of the TNO x /HRGO hybrid, and the HRGO holes are beneficial for the transmission of lithium-ion ( Li + ). The synergy effect of above features improves the rate performance of the TNO x /HRGO hybrid. In addition, the existence of HRGO can buffer volume expansion during the insertion processes of Li + , which can improve cyclic stability of the TNO x /HRGO hybrid. Consequently, the TNO x /HRGO electrode has excellent lithium-ion storage capacity, with high-rate performance (242 mAh/g at 10 ∘ C, 225 mAh/g at 20 ∘ C and 173 mAh/g at 40 ∘ C) and excellent cyclic stability (98.0% capacity retention after 300 cycles at 10 ∘ C). This work reveals that TNO x /HRGO can be a potential anode material for high-rate-performance lithium-ion storage.

In this study, a mesoporous TiO 2 /carbon catalyst (TiO 2 /C) was prepared by a facile impregnation-carbonization approach to catalyze ozonation of p -chloronitrobenzene ( p -CNB). The catalyst was well characterized and the catalytic efficiency under various conditions was systematically evaluated. TiO 2 /C has a disordered mesostructure with a high specific surface area. 92.8% of p -CNB (2 μmol/L) can be degraded within 20 min in the TiO 2 /C/O 3 system in the presence of 1 mg/L O 3 , 100 mg/L catalyst, at pH = 5. Based on the evaluation of the effect of basic parameters, it could be deduced that the removal of p -CNB relied on the synthetic effect of catalysis by TiO 2 /C and the autocatalytic induction of p -CNB. The removal efficiency of p -CNB, the structure change and the leaching of Ti ions were also evaluated in five cycles, indicating TiO 2 /C is stable and recyclable for catalytic ozonation in water treatment.

Developing highly active, cost-effective, and durable bifunctional oxygen electrocatalysts is an important step for the advancement of rechargeable Zn–air batteries (ZABs). Herein, an efficient bifunctional oxygen electrocatalyst of ultrathin Co(OH) 2 nanosheets supported on nitrogen-doped carbon nanoflake arrays (named as Co(OH) 2 @NC), is reported, which yields excellent bifunctional activity, i.e., a low overpotential of 285 mV to reach 10 mA cm −2 for oxygen evolution reaction (OER), a high half-wave potential (0.83 V) for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), and a low potential gap (Δ E ) of 0.69 V. The excellent bifunctional catalytic performance can be ascribed to the concerted efforts of cobalt hydroxide toward OER and nitrogen-doped carbon for ORR. The Co(OH) 2 @NC nanoflake arrays is further used as binder-free air cathodes for rechargeable Zn–air batteries, exhibiting a high specific capacity of 798.3 mAh g Zn −1 , improved stability (a working life of >70 h at 5 mA cm −2 ), as well as a reduced long-term charging voltage, which outperforms the counterparts of NC nanoflake arrays and Pt/C-based air cathodes. One step further, the Co(OH) 2 @NC nanoflake arrays on carbon cloth are directly used as binder-free air cathodes for flexible, solid-state ZABs, showing excellent performance under deformation as well.

In this work, Al 2 O 3 ceramic coatings were prepared the surface of powder metallurgy (PM) 2024 aluminum alloy via the micro-arc oxidation (MAO) technique. The effects of the current density and the oxidation treatment time on the microstructure and properties of the MAO coatings were investigated. The results reveal that the oxide film mainly comprises the γ-Al 2 O 3 phase, the amorphous Al 2 O 3 phase, and a small amount of the mullite phase. There are traces of W in the coatings, which exist in the form of W, WO 3 , and W 18 O 49 . With increasing current density, the thickness and surface roughness of the MAO coatings prepared on the PM 2024 alloy increase, while their surface hardness first increases and then decreases. The increase in the current density promotes the transformation of the amorphous Al 2 O 3 phase into the γ-Al 2 O 3 phase. The maximum hardness value of 1270 HV is obtained at a current density of 20 A dm −2 . The MAO coatings provide superior corrosion protection for the PM 2024 aluminum alloy, and the MAO coatings obtained at a current density of 15 A dm −2 exhibit the highest corrosion resistance.

A series of well-dispersed bimetallic Pd@Pt nanodendrites uniformly supported on XC-72 carbon black are fabricated by using different capping agents. These capping agents are essential for the branched morphology control. However, the surfactant adsorbed on the nanodendrites surface blocks the access of reactant molecules to the active surface sites, and the catalytic activities of these bimetallic nanodendrites are significantly restricted. Herein, a facile reflux procedure to effectively remove the capping agent molecules without significantly affecting their sizes is reported for activating supported nanocatalysts. More significantly, the structure and morphology of the nanodendrites can also be retained, enhancing the numbers of active surface sites, catalytic activity and stability toward methanol and ethanol electro-oxidation reactions. The as-obtained hot water reflux-treated Pd@Pt/C catalyst manifests superior catalytic activity and stability both in terms of surface and mass specific activities, as compared to the untreated catalysts and the commercial Pt/C and Pd/C catalysts. We anticipate that this effective and facile removal method has more general applicability to highly active nanocatalysts prepared with various surfactants, and should lead to improvements in environmental protection and energy production.

Sodium layered oxide with anion redox activity (SLO-A) stands out as a promising cathode material for sodium-ion batteries due to its impressive capacity and high voltage resulting from Mn- and O-redox processes. However, the SLO-A faces significant challenges in cycling stability and rate performance, primarily due to the poor reversibility and sluggish kinetics of the O-redox. In this study,a novel Ti-doped material, Na 2/3 Li 2/9 Mn 53/72 Ti 1/24 O 2 (NLMTO), exhibiting remarkable characteristics such as a notable rate capacity (130 mAh g −1 at 3C, where 1C equals 200 mA g −1 ) and excellent cycling retention (85.4% after 100 cycles at 0.5C) is introduced. Employing electrochemical differential analyses, the contributions to the superior performance arising from the Mn- and O-redox processes are quantitatively delineated. The optimized performance of NLMTO is attributed, in part, to the enhanced stability of both bulk and interface structures. The introduction of Ti through substitution not only contributes to this stability but also allows for the fine-tuning of the material's electron configurations. This is achieved by augmenting the density of states near the Fermi energy level, as well as elevating the O 2p and Mn 3d orbits. This research advances sodium-ion battery technology.

Polyaniline/cerium dioxide (PANI/CeO 2 ) nanocomposite (NPs) was synthesized by in situ polymerization of aniline in the presence of CeO 2 NPs. Various analytical facilities, i.e., powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), were utilized to characterize the synthesized CeO 2 and PANI/CeO 2 NPs. The coatings prepared from the synthesized PANI/CeO 2 NPs exhibited excellent corrosion resistance that was superior to epoxy coatings added with PANI in NaCl solution. The exceptional improvement of corrosion protection performance of the PANI/CeO 2 /epoxy coatings is associated with the synergetic protection of the enhancement of the protective barrier due to the role of CeO 2 NPs and PANI against the diffusion of aggressive ions (e.g., Cl − ) and the improvement of self-healing protection attributed to the redox behavior of PANI. Thus, the hybrid PANI/CeO 2 NPs are considered as the best route to enhance the protection performance of the epoxy coatings on carbon steel.

A novel non-enzymatic and oxygen-sensitive photoelectrochemical (PEC) sensor for glucose was first constructed based on dual-functional cubic cuprous oxide. Herein, cuprous oxide acts both as an excellent catalyst for the preoxidation of glucose and as a photocathode for the PEC non-enzymatic glucose sensing. The fabricated cuprous oxide was characterized by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffractometry, X-ray photoelectron spectrometry, and UV–vis spectrophotometry. Under the optimized conditions, the PEC sensing was linear in its response to the logarithm of concentration of glucose in the range of 0.0005 to 6 mmol L −1 with a detection limit of 0.3 μmol L −1 . The same concentration of other common species did not interfere with the detection of glucose, and the results of the PEC sensor corresponded well with those obtained by the commercially available enzymatic glucose sensor. This novel non-enzymatic and oxygen-sensitive PEC sensor exhibited good performance with its high sensitivity, good selectivity, wide linear range, low cost, and portable features. Also it provides an alternative way for improving non-enzymatic PEC sensor of glucose.
