Background Ideal bone defect repair scaffolds should be biodegradable, biocompatible, bioactive, porous, and provide adequate mechanical support. However, it is challenging to fabricate such an ideal bone repair scaffold. Previously, we showed that 5 wt.% strontium-doped hydroxyapatite (Sr-HA) scaffolds prepared by spark plasma sintering (SPS) technology exhibited good biocompatibility. Moreover, unlike pure hydroxyapatite (HA) scaffolds, HA scaffolds containing strontium (Sr) exhibited superior bioactivity, higher proliferation rate of BMSCs and MG-63 osteoblast cells, as well as enhanced BMSCs differentiation. Methods In this study, we prepared pure HA scaffolds and 5 wt.% strontium containing Sr-HA scaffolds by SPS technology without adhesive, ammonium bicarbonate as pore former. Subsequently, scanning electron microscope (SEM) and X-Ray diffraction (XRD) were used to characterize the properties of Sr-HA and HA scaffolds. The ability of the scaffolds to repair bone defects was evaluated using a critical-sized rabbit tibia-bone defect rabbit model. Thirty 3-month-old New Zealand white rabbits were randomly divided into three groups (blank control group, Sr-HA scaffolds implanted group and HA scaffolds implanted group) with 10 rabbits in each group. These rabbits are sacrificed after 8 weeks and 16 weeks of surgery, and the repair effects of each scaffold were evaluated with X-ray, micro-CT, and HE staining. The three-point bending test was employed to assess the mechanical property of repaired bones. Results XRD pattern indicated that Sr-HA and HA scaffolds possess a similar crystal structure after sintering, and that incorporation of strontium did not form impure phase. SEM showed that the porosity of Sr-HA and HA scaffolds was about 40 %. Universal Testing Machine tests showed that Sr-HA scaffolds had better compressive strength than HA scaffolds. Bone defect was obvious, and the fibrous tissue was formed in the bone defects of rabbits in the blank control group after 8 weeks of surgery. Sr-HA and HA scaffolds enhanced osteointegration of the host bone, and extensive woven bone was formed on the surface of the Sr-HA scaffolds. After 16 weeks, the bone strump became blunt and a small amount of callus was formed in the blank control group. Comparatively, the scaffolds were substantially degraded in the Sr-HA scaffolds implanted group while scaffolds shadows still were observed in the HA implanted group. Bone remodeling and cavity recanalization were completely developed in the Sr-HA scaffolds group. The compressive strength of repaired bone in the Sr-HA scaffolds implantation group was higher than that of HA scaffolds implantation group after 8 weeks and 16 weeks of surgery. Conclusions Our results show that the Sr-HA composite scaffolds can effectively repair bone defects and have good biodegradable properties.

High-performance infrared (IR) radiative materials are important for energy conservation and electronic thermal management, yet effective strategies for simultaneously enhancing short- and long-wave IR emissivity remain limited. Herein, Sr-substituted barium hexaferrite (Ba 1− x Sr x Fe 12 O 19 , x = 0, 0.1, 0.3, and 0.5) powders were synthesized via chemical co-precipitation, and the effects of Sr substitution on the crystal structure, optical properties, and IR radiative performance were systematically investigated. Sr substitution at Ba sites induced lattice contraction and modified the local structural environment. The apparent optical bandgap decreased from 3.59 eV for BaFe 12 O 19 to 2.92 eV for Ba 0.7 Sr 0.3 Fe 12 O 19 . In the 2.5–5 μm band, Ba 0.7 Sr 0.3 Fe 12 O 19 exhibited an average emissivity of 0.62, corresponding to a 72.2% increase relative to BaFe 12 O 19 , which is associated with the reduced apparent optical bandgap and modified surface Fe/O chemical states detected by XPS. In the 8–14 μm band, the enhanced emissivity is mainly attributed to lattice-distortion-induced changes in the vibrational response, and Ba 0.7 Sr 0.3 Fe 12 O 19 exhibited an average emissivity of 0.90, representing a 3.4% increase over BaFe 12 O 19 . In the 2.5–15 μm range, its average emissivity reached 0.80, which is 63.3% higher than that of BaFe 12 O 19 . Furthermore, the Ba 0.7 Sr 0.3 Fe 12 O 19 /PVDF composite coating achieved a 6.5 °C reduction relative to a bare Cu plate and a 3.8 °C reduction relative to a pure PVDF coating. This work provides a low-cost and scalable strategy for improving the IR radiative performance of BaFe 12 O 19 -based materials through cation substitution and structural regulation, offering a promising route for thermal management in next-generation electronic devices.

Electrocaloric effect (ECE) is one of the basic features of ferroelectrics / antiferroelectrics. The positive ECE and negative ECE exhibit oppose thermal response to the variation of electric fields. This allows them to complement each other, enabling more diversified refrigeration regulation. To enhance the negative ECE and broaden its temperature range, this work investigates the impact of diffuse phase transitions in antiferroelectric Pb 1- x Sr x Zr 0.95 Ti 0.05 O 3 (PSZT) films on LaNiO 3 /Si substrates. Sr 2 + doping reduces the unit cell volume and enhances antiferroelectricity, resulting in an increment of the ECE Δ T from −2.26 K to −3.38 K. Meanwhile, it breaks the long-range antiferroelectric order to achieve a local symmetry breaking, and promotes the diffusion of the antiferroelectric-ferroelectric phase transition to significantly broaden the temperature span of the negative ECE from 33 K to over 108 K. This work demonstrates that controlling the phase transition diffusion in PSZT films effectively enhances the performance of the negative ECE and broadens its temperature span, providing a strong support for in-situ chip cooling technology.

The development of effective, economical, and sustainable seawater extraction strontium techniques is of great significance to the environment and industrial needs. In this paper, an asymmetric pulsed current-assisted electrochemical (AP-CE) method was used to extract Sr(Ⅱ) from seawater using a carbon electrode modified by dibenzo-18-crown-6-ether and cellulose acetate. An asymmetric pulsed current was used to prevent unwanted cations from blocking adsorption sites to prevent water splitting. It also prevented the cellulose acetate membrane from sealing the crown ether. Compared with traditional physicochemical adsorption of Sr(Ⅱ), the AP-CE method achieved a higher removal efficiency and adsorption capacity. When the concentrations of Sr(Ⅱ) were 10, 20, 50, and 100 mg L −1 , the removal efficiencies of Sr(Ⅱ) were 99.3%, 97.6%, 97.3%, and 96.1%, and the adsorption capacities of Sr(Ⅱ) were 14.9, 29.3, 73.0, and 144.2 mg g −1 , respectively. This method exhibited excellent selectivity for Sr(Ⅱ) adsorption from simulated seawater, suggesting that the asymmetric pulse electrochemical method is promising for extracting strontium ions from seawater.

Organo-montmorillonites (organo-Mts) were prepared by grafting with 3-aminopropyl triethoxysilane (APTES), and surface modification which was composed of hexadecyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (HDTMAB) and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) solutions. XRD, BET, FTIR, SEM and Zeta potential analysis were used to characterize the surface and structure properties of the as-obtained products. The XRD and FTIR results showed that APTES was successfully grafted to calcium-saturated montmorillonite (Ca-Mt) and the BET data illustrated that the surface area and microporous volume decreased largely after modification, while the pore diameter increased. Moreover, batch experiments were conducted to investigate the adsorption behavior of Sr(II) on organo-Mts. The experimental results showed that the adsorption capacity of APTES-Mt was 65.6 mg/g, much larger than those of Ca-Mt, SDS-Mt and HDTMAB-Mt (13.23 mg/g, 26.85 mg/g and 3.91 mg/g, respectively) under the chosen conditions. Pseudo-second-order model fitted well with the adsorption kinetic studies for all materials with an equilibrium time of 24 h. Further, the isotherm adsorption could be described well with both Langmuir and DKR models for SDS-Mt, Freundlich model for Ca-Mt and APTES-Mt as well. The Sr(II) removal by Ca-Mt was mainly ion exchange, nevertheless, that by SDS-Mt and APTES-Mt were surface adsorption and ligand adsorption, respectively.

In this study, a new adsorbent, polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and graphene oxide (GO), was prepared, characterized and used for the removal of Sr 2+ from aqueous solution. In PVA/GO composite, the inter-lamellar spacing of adjacent GO layers was dramatically enlarged due to the intercalation of PVA molecules, such a unique architecture significantly mitigated the aggregation of GO layers, which facilitated the accessible exposure of active sites and the mass transfer of strontium ions (Sr 2+ ), thus enhancing the adsorption capacity toward Sr 2+ . The adsorption of Sr 2+ by PVA/GO composite conformed to the pseudo second-order kinetic model ( R 2 = 0.9994), the Langmuir model ( R 2 = 0.9042), and the Freundlich model ( R 2 = 0.9598). The complexation interaction between Sr 2+ and oxygen atoms/π-electron domain of PVA/GO composite was primarily responsible for the adsorption mechanism, based on the characterization results of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), scanning electron microscope equipped with energy dispersion spectroscopy (SEM-EDS) and powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD).

The structure of LNF- x and the electrochemical properties of LNF- x in 1 M Na 2 SO 4 aqueous electrolyte are investigated. As a result, LNF- x nanofibers present a perovskite structure, and the LNF-0.5 sample exhibits the highest specific capacitance value of 464.5 F g − 1 at a current density of 2 A g − 1 . The maximum energy density of 64.5 W h kg − 1 are achieved at a power density of 2 kW kg − 1 for the symmetric supercapacitor prepared by La 0.5 Sr 0.5 Cu 0.1 Mn 0.9 O 3 − δ nanofibers. More importantly, this symmetric supercapacitor also shows an excellent cycling life after 2000 charging and discharging cycles.

Photocatalytic oxidative desulfurization of dibenzothiophene (DBT) with H 2 O 2 (30%) and Ag/ALa 4 Ti 4 O 15 (A = Ca, Sr and Ba) as the photocatalysts were studied. Ag cocatalyst-loaded ALa 4 Ti 4 O 15 (A = Ca, Sr and Ba) were synthesized by incipient wetness. Reaction time, temperature and the amount of hydrogen peroxide were investigated as the important parameters for optimization of the reaction and a potential removal mechanism of photocatalytic oxidation was proposed. Ag (2 wt%)/CaLa 4 Ti 4 O 15 and Ag (1 wt%)/BaLa 4 Ti 4 O 15 were found to give remarkable catalytic activity and high selectivity for catalytic experiments. Actually, 99.0% and 98.0% of DBT were converted respectively according to the desulfurization tests. Moreover, these two catalysts were characterized by infrared spectroscopy (IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and X-ray photoelectron spectrum (XPS).

Exploring oxide-based red-emitting phosphors is essential for improving the color rendering index (Ra) and reducing the correlated color temperature (CCT) of white-light-emitting diode (LED) lighting sources. Especially, it is challenging to design Eu2+ red emission in inorganic solids. Here, the Eu2+-activated oxide phosphor Sr2LaGaO5:Eu2+ was synthesized with red emission peaking at 618 nm under 450 nm excitation. The crystal structure and spectral analysis indicate that Eu2+ tends to occupy [Sr1/LaO8] polyhedrons with a smaller coordination number, resulting in a large crystal field splitting at the 5d level and realizing the broadband 4f–5d red emission. When Sr is substituted by Ba atoms, density functional theory calculations verify that Ba tends to enter [Sr2O10] with a large coordination number, further giving rise to the lattice distortion and a giant spectral redshift (618–800 nm). The white LED device fabricated by mixing red Sr1.8Ba0.2GaO5:Eu2+ and green Lu3Al5O12:Ce3+ phosphors exhibits a high color rendering index (Ra = 92.1) and a low color-dependent temperature (CCT = 4570 K). This study will give guidance for exploring new Eu2+ activated oxide-based red phosphors as well as achieving tunable emission through cations’ substitution.

Self-assemblies of polyelectrolytes have been widely used to tailor surface charges, but their stability varies significantly due to the diverse properties of both polyelectrolytes and surfaces. Fast and reliable evaluation of the stability of the assembled layers is essential to optimize the assembling processes and select the proper working conditions. In this work, the applicability of the pulsed streaming potential measurement for real-time evaluation of stability of assembled layers was demonstrated. Polyethyleneimine (PEI) with a molecular weight of 1800 was selected as the model polyelectrolyte and the results confirmed the dependence of the stability of the assembled layers on the assembling conditions. A parameter SR, which is defined as the relative zeta potential change rate, was adopted to reflect the difference of the positively charged layer. Effect of assembling conditions, including pH, polyelectrolyte concentration and contact time, on the change of the streaming potential were evaluated based on SR values. The feasibility of the technique for the evaluation of the stability of adsorbed proteins, oligonucleotides and cells onto the formed PEI layer was also investigated and its reliability was confirmed by capillary electrophoresis.

The osteoimmune environment plays indispensable roles in bone regeneration because it determines subsequent osteogenesis and osseointegration. Eucommia ulmoides polysaccharide (EUP) was proved to be an effective biomaterial that has immunomodulatory effects for improving the biomechanical quality of bone. Strontium is a trace element that inhibits inflammation and promotes bone growth. To develop a novel EUP-based osteoimmunomodulatory biomaterial with potentially enhanced bone regeneration, we synthesized strontium Eucommia ulmoides polysaccharides (EUP-Sr) and evaluated its morphology, structure and thermal stability. The materials characterization results confirmed that strontium was successfully introduced into the EUP and formed a new complex with thermal-stable property. The cytocompatibility evaluation of different concentrations of EUP-Sr by CCK8 assay suggested that EUP-Sr is beneficial to the macrophages proliferation. We further evaluated the gene expressions of RAW 264.7 cells treated with EUP-Sr. It was found that EUP-Sr could suppress inflammatory factors and osteoclastogenesis, and enhance the expressions of osteogenic factors of RAW 264.7 cells. Therefore, EUP-Sr should be a promising bioactive compound with the capability to create a positive pro-regenerative environment for skeleton tissue engineering.

The biodegradability and good mechanical property of magnesium alloys make them potential biomedical materials . However, their rapid corrosion rate in the human body’s environment impairs these advantages and limits their clinical use. In this work, a compact zirconia (ZrO 2 ) nanofilm was fabricated on the surface of a magnesium-strontium (Mg-Sr) alloy by the atomic layer deposition (ALD) method, which can regulate the thickness of the film precisely and thus also control the corrosion rate. Corrosion tests reveal that the ZrO 2 film can effectively reduce the corrosion rate of Mg-Sr alloys that is closely related to the thickness of the film. The cell culture test shows that this kind of ZrO 2 film can also enhance the activity and adhesion of osteoblasts on the surfaces of Mg-Sr alloys. Statement of Significance The significance of the current work is to develop a zirconia nanofilm on biomedical MgSr alloy with controllable thickness precisely through atomic layer deposition technique. By adjusting the thickness of nanofilm, the corrosion rate of Mg-Sr alloy can be modulated, thereafter, the degradation rate of Mg-based alloys can be controlled precisely according to actual clinical requirement. In addition, this zirconia nanofilm modified Mg-Sr alloys show excellent biocompatibility than the bare samples. Hence, this work provides a new surface strategy to control the degradation rate while improving the biocompatibility of substrates.
