Ti/SnO 2 -Sb electrodes possess high catalytic activity and efficiently degrade nitrobenzene (NB); however, their low service life limits their wide application. In this study, we used one-step hydrothermal synthesis to successfully prepare Pt-Nd co-doped Ti/SnO 2 -Sb nanosphere electrodes. Scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy were applied to characterize the surface morphology, microstructure, and chemical composition of the electrodes, respectively. The electrochemical activity and stability of the electrodes were characterized via linear sweep and cyclic voltammetry, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and an accelerated service life test; their performance for NB degradation was also studied. An appropriate amount of Pt-Nd co-doping refined the average grain size of SnO 2 and formed a uniform and compact coating on the electrode surface. The oxygen evolution potential, total voltammetric charge, and electron transfer resistance of the Ti/SnO 2 -Sb-Nd-Pt electrodes were 1.88 V, 3.77 mC/cm 2 , and 11.50 Ω, respectively. Hydroxy radical was the main active radical species during the electrolytic degradation of nitrobenzene with Ti/SnO 2 -Sb-Nd-Pt. After Pt-Nd co-doping, the accelerated service life of the electrodes was extended from 8.0 min to 78.2 h (500 mA/cm 2 ); although the NB degradation rate decreased from 94.1 to 80.6%, the total amount of theoretical catalytic degradation of NB in the effective working time increased from 17.4 to 8754.1 mg/cm 2 . These findings reveal good application potential for the electrodes and provide a reference for developing efficient and stable electrode materials.

The electrochemical oxidation processes have attracted tremendous attention on the destruction of toxic and non-biodegradable organics. A series of neodymium (Nd)-doped PbO2electrodes (Ti/PbO2-Nd) were synthesized through a pulse electrodeposition method, and its activity of bisphenol S (BPS) removal was further examined. The morphologies and structures were characterized by the X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and an energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS). The performance, energy consumption and mechanism of electrochemical oxidation of BPS by Ti/PbO2-Nd electrode were also discussed. Compared to the traditional Ti/PbO2electrode, the Ti/PbO2-Nd enables finer crystal particles, facilitating the oxygen evolution overpotential (OEP) from 1.41V to 1.55V and the generation of hydroxyl radicals (•OH). Moreover, lower duty cycles during the preparation of the electrode also contribute to the tapering size of crystals. The results show that the Ti/PbO2-Nd electrode exhibits relatively high activity in the anodic oxidation of BPS. Over 95% of BPS could be removed with the current density of 15 mA cm−2. Moreover, the energy consumption of BPS degradation on Ti/PbO2-Nd electrode is 60.26 kWh m−3, much lower than that on Ti/PbO2electrode (95.45 kWh m−3). To conclude, the Ti/PbO2-Nd electrode has been proven to be a promising material for BPS removal.Keywords:bisphenol S;electrochemical degradation;Ti/PbO2-Nd electrode;mechanism;duty cycle

Previously, we investigated imprinted silica films templated by cellulose nanocrystals for the selective adsorption of rare earth ions from acidic systems, but the cost of organosilane limits the application of silica film adsorbents. Considering the cost and outstanding properties of cellulose, converting this renewable biological resource into an adsorbent material is a vital step towards sustainable development. One-step fabrication of imprinted mesoporous cellulose nanocrystals films (IMCFs) was implemented via ionic imprinting technology and they were applied to efficiently and selectively separate neodymium ions [Nd(III)]. Transmission photographs clearly demonstrated there is a highly ordered mesoporous structure after removal of silicon source. Nitrogen adsorption measurements showed two obtained materials possess high specific surface area, providing a good premise for efficient separation. When employed as absorbents, the maximum adsorption capacity of IMCFs is almost three folds than that of NIMCFs, reaching 18.22 mg g −1 . The distribution coefficient of IMCFs for Nd(III) reached 435.46 mL g −1 , much higher than other interfering ions. Repeatability tests showed IMCFs retained 81.55% of initial adsorption capacity after five adsorption cycles. In summary, this work presents a new avenue to construct imprinted mesoporous cellulose nanocrystals films for separation of rare earth ions.

Mg-5.6Zn-0.5Zr alloy (ZK60) tends to degrade too rapid for orthopedic application, in spite of its natural degradation, suitable strength and good biocompatibility. In this study, Nd was alloyed with ZK60 via laser melting method to enhance its corrosion resistance. The microstructure features, mechanical properties and corrosion behaviors of ZK60- x Nd ( x = 0, 1.8, 3.6, 5.4 wt.%) were investigated. Results showed that laser melted ZK60- x Nd were composed of fine ɑ-Mg grains and intermetallic phases along grain boundaries. And the precipitated intermetallic phases experienced successive changes: divorced island-like MgZn phase → honeycomb-like T phase → coarsened and agglomerated W phase with Nd increasing. It was worth noting that ZK60-3.6Nd with honeycomb-like T phase exhibited an optimal corrosion behavior with a corrosion rate of 1.56 mm year −1 . The improved corrosion behavior was ascribed to: (I) dense surface film caused by the formation of Nd 2 O 3 hindered the invasion of immersion solution; (II) the three-dimensional honeycomb structure of intermetallic phases formed a tight barrier to restrain the propagation of corrosion. Moreover, ZK60-3.6Nd exhibited good biocompatibility. It was suggested that ZK60-3.6Nd was a preferable candidate for biodegradable bone implant.

Zircon , ZrSiO 4 , has a structure that can incorporate actinides. Therefore, the susceptibility of the zircon structure to irradiation damage has been investigated by accelerated irradiation experiments. Synthetic Zr 1− x Nd x SiO 4− x /2 ( x = 0, 0.01, 0.10) ceramics were irradiated with 0.5 MeV 4 He 2+ ions (fluences 1 × 10 14 –1 × 10 17 ions/cm 2 ) at room temperature. The irradiation effects on phase structure and chemical stability of the ceramics were investigated. It is found that the main crystal structure is maintained, however, little amorphization is leaded as a result of intensified irradiation. Raman spectra reveal that the main peaks slightly broaden and weakened with increasing fluence, indicating little amorphization has been induced by irradiation. The irradiation resistance is enhanced by the growing neodymium content. Moreover, microtopography and element distribution have no changed even after irradiation. Although the LR Nd increases slightly with increasing Nd loading and irradiation, the excellent chemical stability (∼10 −4 g m −2 d −1 ) is maintained.

This study used the solid-phase method to prepare thermosensitive perovskite ceramics, La 0.9 B 0.1 AlO 3 (B = Pr, Nd, Sm). The XRD and EDS results indicated that all components presented a single phase and all elements were uniformly distributed, formed a good solid solution. The SEM results clearly illustrated that the doped elements had enhanced the surface morphology, resulting in more uniform grain formation. The TEM results showed that linear defects were present, which led to an uneven stress distribution; consequently, this enhanced the carrier transport. The alternating current (AC) impedance showed that the grain boundary resistance determined the overall complex impedance and exhibited a different conductive mechanism with increasing temperature, from polariton to ion conduction. With the introduction of Nd 3+ , the conductivity of La 0.9 Nd 0.1 AlO 3 increased and its temperature range increased from 600 – 1400 °C to 100–1500 °C. In La 0.9 Sm 0.1 AlO 3 , the presence of Sm 2+ enhances the aging stability by elevating the oxygen vacancy concentration and the aging drift rate (ΔR/R0) was found to be lower than 2 %. In addition, DFT-based calculations were performed to investigate the property changes in the crystal structure and energy band structure of pure and doped LaAlO 3 . This study demonstrated an effective way to improve the performance of high-temperature thermistor materials using different doping strategies.

A novel extraction process utilizing THEE-BisDGA ligand has been developed for the rapid and efficient recovery of trivalent lanthanide elements (La, Nd, Eu, and Dy) from uranium-containing acidic systems. The process rapidly achieves equilibrium within just 2 min and exhibits high distribution ratios. Notably, its extraction efficiency shows a positive correlation with the atomic number of the lanthanides. Significantly, the ligand demonstrates exceptional selectivity by excluding U(VI) extraction, thus enabling the targeted recovery of lanthanides. Back-extraction experiments confirm that 0.01 M HNO 3 can quantitatively strip lanthanides in three steps, highlighting its potential for industrial-scale separation and purification of valuable lanthanides. Moreover, density functional theory(DFT) calculations have confirmed that THEE-BisDGA exhibits superior selectivity for Ln(III) over U(VI), further reinforcing its effectiveness and applicability in advanced separation technologies.

Neodymium is a crucial strategic resource, which requires enhanced adsorption and recovery methods. Various researchers have utilized chitosan as an adsorbent for neodymium element adsorption. However, the low surface negative charge of the chitosan adsorbent affects its adsorption efficiency, and its inadequate mechanical properties hinder reusability. To address these issues, this study developed two composite membranes: the 3D wood imprinted carboxylated chitosan composite membrane (3DW-ICNTs/COOH/CS) and the 3D wood carboxylated chitosan composite membrane (3DW-CNTs/COOH/CS) for the separation and recovery of rare earth Nd(III). Kinetic experimental results indicate that both composite membranes reached 80% of maximum adsorption capacity within 200 min, indicating the significant negative charge on the surface of the carboxylated carbon nanotube-modified chitosan material. Even after ten adsorption and desorption cycles, imprinted composite membranes maintained a removal rate of about 80%. The utilizing delignified wood as a support material preserved the mechanical properties of the composite membrane, thereby providing a favorable condition for its industrial application.

High-entropy pyrochlore oxide (Y,Dy,Ce,Nd,La) 2 Sn 2 O 7 has been synthesized by the co-precipitation method. EDS and XPS analysis demonstrated the high-entropy structure in M 2 Sn 2 O 7 (M = Y, Dy, Ce, Nd, La) ultrafine powders, which is developed as the active material in lithium anode. The effects of different binders on the cycling performance and rate capability were discussed. Benefiting from the synergistic effects of high-entropy system and the strong intermolecular force provided by the sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) system, the optimized M 2 Sn 2 O 7 /CMC (M = Y, Dy, Ce, Nd, La) delivers a high initial discharge capacity of about 766 mAh g −1 and exhibits excellent cycle stability. A reversible capacity of 396 mAh g −1 and superior delivering retention of ~ 100% can be obtained at 100 mA g −1 after 100 cycles. Meanwhile, the capacity retention rate of 54.5% can still be reached after the cycling at various current densities from 0.05 to 1 A g −1 , demonstrating potential application prospect of the M 2 Sn 2 O 7 /CMC.

The diverse exotic magnetic states realized in one-dimensional (1D) spin-chain systems have motivated the extensive exploration of new materials with a 1D spin-chain motif, while 1D magnets comprising rare-earth (RE) ions are largely unexplored compared with their 3d transition metal (TM)-based counterparts. Herein, we report the synthesis and magnetic properties of a family of RE-based zigzag spin-chain Ba2REV3O11 compounds (RE = Pr, Nd, and Gd–Ho) crystallized into a monoclinic structure with the space group P21/a, wherein spin chains are connected by edge-sharing REO6 octahedra along the b axis and well separated by nonmagnetic VO4 tetrahedra extended within the ac plane. Moreover, the nearest neighbor (NN) intrachain RE–RE distance (dintra, ∼3.856–3.952 Å) is much shorter than the NN interchain separation (dinter, ∼5.191–5.246 Å), supporting quasi-1D characteristics. Magnetic susceptibility and isothermal magnetization measurements revealed that only Ba2DyV3O11 displays a magnetic anomaly at ∼2.9 K and other family members do not order down to 1.8 K. Among them, Ba2GdV3O11 with a spin-only magnetic moment (S) of 7/2 exhibits a long-range magnetic order with TN ∼ 0.67 K and a large magnetocaloric effect with a maximum magnetic entropy change (ΔSM) of 14.3 J K−1 (mol-Gd)−1 under a magnetic field change (Δμ0H) of 4 T at a temperature of ∼1 K, making it a suitable material for magnetic refrigeration in sub-Kelvin temperature regimes.

Two novel low- ε r CaRECeV 3 O 12 (RE = Nd, Sm) microwave dielectric ceramics were prepared to utilize the solid-state method. According to XRD and Raman spectroscopy data, the CaRECeV 3 O 12 (RE = Nd, Sm) ceramics had a tetragonal zircon-type with an I 4 1 / amd space group. Dense CaNdCeV 3 O 12 and CaSmCeV 3 O 12 ceramics sintered at 1225 °C and 1200 °C showed ε r ∼11.85 ± 0.1 and 11.33 ± 0.1, Q × f ∼40,100 ± 500 GHz and 43,290 ± 500 GHz, τ f ∼ −27.2 ± 0.5 ppm/°C and −22.4 ± 0.5 ppm/°C, along with α L of 9.4 ppm/°C and 8.5 ppm/°C, respectively. The measured ε r and corrected ε r (corr) values were larger than ε r (C-M) (9.41 and 9.47) in CaNdCeV 3 O 12 and CaSmCeV 3 O 12 due to the cations being, on average, under-bonded and the overall structures being in a slightly expanded state. The slightly higher | < d > | value of CaNdCeV 3 O 12 led to its higher ε r (corr) value, even though it had a lower α D /V m value. The sign and magnitude of τ f values for CaNdCeV 3 O 12 and CaSmCeV 3 O 12 were mainly determined by their positive temperature coefficients of dielectric polarizability τ αm of +36.2 ppm/°C and +32.1 ppm/°C, respectively. The inherent dielectric constant and dielectric loss were examined using far-infrared reflectivity spectra, Raman spectra, and the packing fraction.
