In this work, we present a simple and effective approach to enhance the fire safety and anti-corrosion performance of wood by forming in-situ self-assembled amphiphilic Ag-PW nanospheres (NSP) at room temperature. The morphology and acid capacity of the NSP were optimized by changing the ratio of phosphotungstic acid (HPW) and silver nitrate. The Ag-PW NSP were successfully integrated into the bulk of the wood, resulting in a durable treatment with minimal leaching. Comprehensive characterization techniques, including FTIR, XPS, XRD, SEM, TEM, and nitrogen adsorption–desorption analysis, confirmed the in-situ formation of Ag-PW NSP in the wood. The treatment exhibited low-leaching properties with only 5.89% of Ag-PW1a leaching out. The treated wood demonstrated excellent flame-retardant (FR) properties, as evidenced by a limiting oxygen index value > 28% and easy passage of the UL-94 test, with the formation of a high-density char layer. The flammable pyrolysis products released during combustion were found to be significantly altered, with a change in the depolymerization route of conversion of LGO under acid conditions to HMF, which was verified by DFT calculations. The treated wood also exhibited outstanding anti-corrosion properties, with a mass loss rate of less than 1%, compared to at least 32.3% for bare wood after the anti-white or brown-rot fungus tests. Moreover, the treated wood samples maintained their excellent FR properties even after leaching. Our study provides valuable insights for the rational design of nano-material additives for wood protection, thereby improving the usage of wood resources while mitigating health and environmental hazards.

We present a simple way to fabricate high-entropy (La 0.2 Nd 0.2 Sm 0.2 Dy 0.2 Yb 0.2 ) 2 Zr 2 O 7 (HE-RE 2 Zr 2 O 7 ) ceramic nanofibers using the electrospinning and annealing processing in this work. The microstructure of nanofibers was characterized by thermal gravity-differential scanning calorimetry (TG-DSC), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), respectively. Meanwhile, the diameter and grain growth of HE-RE 2 Zr 2 O 7 nanofibers under 1000 °C was analyzed. Results indicate that HE-RE 2 Zr 2 O 7 nanofibers can be prepared at temperatures above 400 °C and the crystallite size can be controlled by annealing temperature. Both diameter and the grain growth of HE-RE 2 Zr 2 O 7 nanofibers are lower than that of La 2 Zr 2 O 7 nanofibers, attributed to the sluggish diffusion effect. The advantages of HE-RE 2 Zr 2 O 7 nanofibers can further enlarge the application of nanofibers in the aspect of high-temperature thermal insulation materials.

Cobalt ferrite/reduced graphene oxide (CoFe 2 O 4 /RGO) nanocomposites were initially prepared by the interaction of alkyne-functionalized CoFe 2 O 4 NPs and azide-functionalized graphene oxide (GO–N 3 ) via the Cu (I)-catalyzed click reaction. The morphology and structure of CoFe 2 O 4 /RGO were investigated by means of XRD, FTIR, TGA, TEM, SEM and the electromagnetic parameters were measured by vector network analyzer. For CoFe 2 O 4 /RGO composites with click reaction, the minimum reflection loss could reach −40 dB at 6.8 GHz with a matching thickness of 4.0 mm, and also it had a bandwidth below −10 dB ranging from 5.8 to 8.5 GHz. The CoFe 2 O 4 /RGO composites with click reaction exhibited better microwave absorbing performance than the physical mixture. Furthermore, the covalent ligation between CoFe 2 O 4 NPs and graphene oxide could make the composites have a promising future in electromagnetic wave absorption materials.

A series of imidazolinium-based porous poly(ionic liquid)s (PILs) with different anions prepared by free-radical copolymerization of an arene-bridged tris-vinylimidazolium salt and divinylbenzene (DVB) were constructed. The as-prepared PILs were characterized by BET, SEM, TEM, TGA and Elemental Analysis (EA), and the results showed that they had plentiful ionic sites, and abundant and stable mesopores. In particular, the density of ionic sites and pore structure of PILs could be controlled by adjusting the content of DVB. Moreover, the PILs were used as efficient heterogeneous catalysts for the decarboxylation of cyclic carbonates to epoxides for the first time. Results showed that the catalytic activity of PILs was positively correlated with the nucleophilicity of the anions in PILs, and PDVB-[PhTVIM]Cl-1 with a chloride anion-enriched skeleton displayed the best catalytic performance. Without any solvent or cocatalyst, PDVB-[PhTVIM]Cl-1 achieved a TOF value of 108.1 h−1 and the yield of butylene oxide of 89.6%, which was even better than the homogeneous IL-based catalysts (TOF value: 8.7 h−1) that had been previously reported. Meanwhile, PDVB-[PhTVIM]Cl-1 also exhibited excellent recyclability and substrate compatibility.

Employing TiO 2 as a gas sensing material is advantageous owing to its excellent hydrogen surface receptiveness and stability under extreme conditions. However, their commercial applications are constrained by limited operating temperature range (150–400 °C) and poor selectivity. In this work, we demonstrate that the ordered mesoporous structured TiO 2 is highly favourable for room temperature hydrogen sensing. The sensors prepared with evaporation induced self-assembly (EISA) showed best response ~2.98 × 10 2 toward 1000 ppm H 2 at room temperature with a sensitivity of ~4.6 ± 1.5 × 10 6 ohm/ppm. Moreover, the sensor showed a response time of ~85 s (recovery time of ~198 s) with full baseline recovery and a selectivity factor of ~290 to 1000 ppm of interfering reducing gases CO and CH 4 at room temperature. With a power consumption of ~1 × 10 −9 W the sensors are incredibly suitable for practical applications. We performed XRD, SEM, TEM, XPS, BET and PL characterization not only to confirm the crystal structure, morphology at nanoscale, surface chemical identification, specific surface area, pore size and photo-generated charge species that contribute to the electronic transport properties but sensing mechanism also.

Arsenic pollution in natural water is a worldwide problem. In this work, a resin-based hydrated iron oxide (D303-HFO) adsorbent was designed to remove arsenate (As(V)) and arsenite (As(III)) in the groundwater. The structure and morphology of the D303-HFO adsorbent were characterized by FTIR, XRD , SEM and TEM tests. The specific surface area, pore volume and pore size increased with the incorporation of HFO nanoparticles in the resin. In addition, the effects of pH and coexisting ions on the arsenic removal efficiency were investigated. Results indicated that the D303-HFO had efficient removal performance for arsenic in the pH range of 3–9 and showed high selectivity for As(V) and As(III) under the influence of competitive ions. The adsorption kinetics study confirmed that the adsorption process was dominated by chemisorption , and the adsorption isotherms of As(V) and As(III) by D303-HFO fitted the Langmuir model. Thermodynamic parameters indicated that the adsorption reaction was spontaneous and exothermic. Moreover, the regeneration and stability experiment indicated that the D303-HFO adsorbent was super reusable after five consecutive cycles and could be put into service stably and permanently. The fixed-bed column test showed that the water sample containing As(V) and As(III) was treated with a volume of 900BV and 1100BV, respectively. After the treatment, the effluent concentration reached the drinking water standard stipulated by WHO.

A spherical self-assembly of SAPO-34 nanosheets was hydrothermally synthesized by using a quaternary ammonium-type organosilane surfactant [3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl]octadecyldimethylammonium chloride (TPOAC) as the mesoporogen and a part of the silica source, and diethylamine (DEA) as the microporous template. The prepared materials were well characterized by XRD, XRF, SEM, TEM, N2 adsorption–desorption, NH3-TPD, NH3-adsorbed IR and pyridine-adsorbed IR measurements. It revealed that the morphologies, compositions and acidity of the SAPO-34 products changed significantly with the increased TPOAC/TEOS ratio, showing that the TPOAC/TEOS ratio had a significant impact on the crystallization process of SAPO-34. Solid state 13C, 29Si NMR and TG-DTA analyses were further conducted to investigate the status of TPOAC in the final products. A possible crystallization process involving TPOAC was proposed. The catalytic performances of the synthesized SAPO-34s were evaluated using the MTO reaction. The optimal SAPO-34 nanosheet assemblies with a hierarchical porous structure displayed a remarkably enhanced catalytic lifetime and high yields of light olefins.

A dual-functional adsorption–catalytic system for elimination of trace toluene is developed and realized over molecular sieve-hosted varied ratio of platinum and palladium catalysts. PtPd/molecular sieve exhibites PdO and PtO 2 around 2–3 nm particles with uniform loading verified by XRD, TEM, Raman and XPS. The adsorption–desorption–catalysis for trace toluene purification is evaluated on the quartz micro-reactor and the self-made electrically heated equipment. 3Pt1Pd/molecular sieve shows toluene adsorption capacity of 18.22 mg/g and desorption efficiency about 77%, together with the maximum desorption temperature at 100 °C. 3Pt1Pd/molecular sieve owns toluene conversion with 38.3% and 100% at 100 and 200 °C, accompanied with the higher CO 2 selectivity of 0.0% and 150.0%, separately, due to the higher Pd 2+ content. The catalyst displays water vapor endurance, reproducibility, and 83.0% carbon balance during the whole adsorption–desorption–catalysis within 150 min, which highlights the sustainable applicability in lean VOCs abatement. Furthermore, the possible catalytic reaction pathway of toluene oxidation is proposed based on the in-situ DRIFTS experiments.

In the family of inorganic nanomaterials , zirconia is a highly promising functional ceramic with a high refractive index , hardness, and dielectric constant, as well as excellent chemical inertness and thermal stability. These properties are enhanced in nano-zirconia ceramics, because nanopowders have a small particle size, good morphology, and uniform and dispersive distribution. In this study, a co-precipitation process was proposed to synthesise highly dispersed MgO–Y 2 O 3 co-stabilized ZrO 2 nanopowders. The effects of different calcination temperatures on the crystallisation degree and particle dispersion of zirconia nanopowders were characterised by X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetry-differential scanning calorimetry (TG-DSC), Raman spectroscopy , Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), nitrogen adsorption using the Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) theory, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM). The optimum synthesis conditions were obtained as follows: 6 h of high-energy planetary grinding and calcination at 800 °C in an electric furnace. Under these optimum conditions, the average particle size of the prepared powder was 28.7 nm. This process enriches the literature on the controllable preparation of Mg–Y/ZrO 2 nanopowders obtained by the co-precipitation method.

Great attention has been paid to antimicrobial agents' development to face and control infection transmission of infectious diseases spreading. Decorated multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) with silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) are useful substances with antibacterial potency that might be used for a wide range of medical applications and water disinfection to limit the spreading of infectious diseases. In this work, silver nanoparticles were loaded on the surface of MWCNTs via the wet-impregnation technique followed by thermal treatment at 450 °C for 4 h in an inert atmosphere . Different ratios of Ag NPs (0, 3, 6, 12 and 24) were loaded on the surface of MWCNTs. The synthesized Ag-MWCNTs nanocomposites were characterized by XRD, XPS, and TEM . The antibacterial efficacy of Ag-MWCNTs nanocomposites was tested towards different microbial strains (bacteria and fungus); P. aeruginosa , E. coli , B. subtilis , S. aureus , C. albicans , and A. niger, which proved the wide spectrum of Ag-MWCNTs. The synthesized nanocomposite showed a higher antimicrobial capability against gram-positive than gram-negative bacteria. Biological studies indicated a large inhibition zone for each bacterial strain that reaches 18.5 mm. SEM and fluorescent microscopy were tested to examine the structural disruption in the outer membranes after incubation with the antibacterial agent. The nanocomposite firmly agglutinated to the surface of the bacterial cells, leading to cells' wrapping, morphology deterioration, and cell death. The inhibition ability of Ag-MWCNTs nanocomposite with a broad spectrum of microorganisms provides exciting opportunities to enhance and maximize potable water disinfection and medical applications to control infectious diseases spreading.

Heavy metal pollution has always been a great threat to human health and safety. Compared with other heavy metals, although zirconium ion (Zr(IV)) is equally harmful, due to the lack of research on Zr(IV) in the biological systems and environment, its detection does not seem to have received the attention it deserves. Herein, a rapid visual dual-mode detection (colorimetric and chrominance method) of Zr(IV) based on l -histidine functionalized gold nanoparticles (HIS-AuNPs) has been reported. AuNPs and HIS-AuNPs before and after adding Zr(IV) were characterized by UV–Vis, TEM, DLS, Zeta potential, EDS and FT-IR, etc. These results showed that l -histidine was successfully modified on the surface of AuNPs by forming a stable Au–N bond, and its modification had little effect on the dispersion degree of AuNPs. After the addition of Zr(IV), interaction of this metal ion with the imidazolyl group on l -histidine can obviously cause the aggregation of HIS-AuNPs within 12 min, and the dispersion state and particle size of HIS-AuNPs can be significantly changed. These two detection modes were established by means of absorbance and color change of solution, and being used in addition and recovery experiments of Zr(IV) in natural water. Under the optimal conditions, these two modes exhibited good linearity within 15–70 and 20–100 μmol L −1 , and limit of detection of 2.62 and 6.25 μmol L −1 . The proposed method was highly sensitive and selective, which provided a new convenient way to realize the detection of Zr(IV). Graphical abstract

A novel nanoparticle-enhanced VES fracturing system was proposed based on the conventional viscoelastic surfactant (VES) fracturing fluid composed of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) and sodium salicylate (NaSal). Hydrophilic silica nanoparticles were used as the addition agent in this system for enhancing properties of VES fracturing fluid. The formation of wormlike micelles by CTAB and NaSal was investigated by cryogenic transmission electron microscopy (cryo-TEM). Rheological properties of the nanoparticle-enhanced VES fracturing system were discussed in detail. With the addition of nanoparticles, the nanoparticle-enhanced VES fracturing system has higher viscosity and viscoelasticity than conventional VES fracturing fluid without nanoparticles. Constant shearing and variable shearing measurements showed the shear-resistant and restoration properties of nanoparticle-enhanced VES fracturing system. This enhancement was due to the formation of newly micelle-nanoparticle junctions and a mechanism was proposed. Formation dynamic filtration damage (DFD) measurement was conducted to study damage effects of the nanoparticle-enhanced VES fracturing system on the core. In addition, cores before and after DFD were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), showing the formation of nano-filter cake. The contact angle of water on the core surface decreased after DFD, showing stronger hydrophilicity . This work could further develop the application of nanotechnology and colloid on reservoir fracturing system.
