Two kinds of aluminum-based coagulants and epichlorohydrin-dimethylamine (DAM-ECH) were used in the treatment of humic acid-kaolin simulated water by coagulation-ultrafiltration (C-UF) hybrid process. Coagulation performance, floc characteristics, including floc size, compact degree, and strength were investigated in this study. Ultrafiltration experiments were conducted by a dead-end batch unit to implement the resistance analyses to explore the membrane fouling mechanisms. Results showed that DAM-ECH aid significantly increased the UV 254 and DOC removal efficiencies and contributed to the formation of larger and stronger flocs with a looser structure. Aluminum chloride (Al) gave rise to better coagulation performance with DAM-ECH compared with poly aluminum chloride (PACl). The consequences of ultrafiltration experiments showed that DAM-ECH aid could reduce the membrane fouling mainly by decreasing the cake layer resistance. The flux reductions for PACl, Al/DAM-ECH (dosing both Al and DAM-ECH) and PACl/DAM-ECH (dosing both PACl and DAM-ECH) were 62%, 56% and 44%, respectively. Results of this study would be beneficial for the application of PACl/DAM–ECH and Al/DAM–ECH composite coagulants in water treatment processes.

Bimetallic Al–La oxides were conjointly precoated on SBA-15 prior to the introduction of potassium fluoride to achieve solid superbases at low temperature by a modified wetness impregnation method. This breaks the tradition of decomposition of KNO3 at high temperature and gives rise to a new approach to generating superbasic sites on SBA-15. The physico-chemical characteristics of the prepared KF/Al–La@SBA-15 materials were investigated using FT-IR, XRD, TG-DTG, N2 adsorption–desorption, TEM, SEM-EDS, acid–base titration, Hammett indicators and CO2-TPD measurements. The results demonstrated that the addition of Al species promoted the dispersion behavior of La species inside the channels, and the bimetallic species could synergistically protect the mesoporous structures of SBA-15 against KF corrosion. With increasing Al content, KF/Al–La@SBA-15 exhibited a long-range ordering of the pores with relatively narrow pore size distribution as well as high specific surface area. The research results showed that the KF/Al–La@SBA-15 (0.4) catalyst possessed a total basicity up to 0.79 mmol g−1 and superbasicity with a strength of 26.5. The catalytic activity of the prepared materials was evaluated in the ring-opening reaction of propylene oxide with methanol. Compared with the SBA-15 supported monometallic oxide (Al or La) catalysts, KF/Al–La@SBA-15 (0.4) exhibited the highest catalytic activity for the ring-opening reaction of propylene oxide with methanol. This is associated with the synergistic effects between Al and La species and the high dispersion of active components on the SBA-15 support.

The performances of nanothermites largely rely on a meticulous design of nanoarchitectures and the close assembly of components. Three-dimensionally ordered macroporous (3DOM) NiO/Al nanothermite film has been successfully fabricated by integrating colloidal crystal template (CCT) method and controllable magnetron sputtering. The as-prepared NiO/Al film shows uniform structure and homogeneous dispersity, with greatly improved interfacial contact between fuel and oxidizer at the nanoscale . The total heat output of 3DOM NiO/Al nanothermite has reached 2462.27 J·g − 1 at optimal the deposition time of 20 min, which is significantly more than the values of other NiO/Al structural systems that have been reported before. Intrinsic reduced ignition temperature (onset temperature) and less gas production render the wide applications of 3DOM NiO/Al nanothermite. Moreover, this design strategy can also be readily generalized to realize diverse 3DOM structured nanothermites.

SiC fiber is an important structural material in high-temperature extreme environments and nuclear energy applications. Oxidation and electron irradiation are main curing methods for the fabrication of industrial SiC fibers. In this work, a photo-sensitive polyvinylaluminocarbosilane (PVACS) is facilely prepared by blending polyaluminocarbosilane (PACS) and 1,3,5,7-tetramethyl-1,3,5,7-tetravinylcyclotetrasiloxane (D4Vi), which can be melt spun, cured by ultraviolet irradiation at room temperature. After thermal pyrolysis and sintering, the SiC(OAl) fibers with oxygen content of 8.84 wt% and C/Si ratio of 1.34, the SiC(Al) fibers with oxygen content of 0.29 wt% and C/Si ratio of 1.03 are achieved. The cured mechanism and the structural evolution from the precursor fiber to the final ceramic fibers is investigated. The results show that homopolymerization of D4Vi is the main curing mechanism in addition to the β-addition of hydrosilylation. Different from the typical oxidative curing, the oxygen in the fibers mainly comes from D4Vi. At about 800 ℃, the SiAl x O y phase, the SiC x O y phase and free carbon are formed. At 1200 ℃, the Al-C bonds possibly in Al 4 C 3 are formed. At around 1600 ℃, Al may exist mainly in the form of Al 4 O 4 C, and the amorphous carbon phase changes into crystalline graphitic structure. Meanwhile, a lot of mesopores and macropores in the SiC(OAl) fibers are formed due to thermal decomposition of the SiC x O y phase. However, at 1800 ℃, the SiC(Al) fibers densify again due to the formation of Al 2 OC and Al 4 SiC 4 phases, which also inhibit the growth of β-SiC and favor the formation of α-SiC.

Polypropylene (PP) flammability poses great fire risks for its application. A metal-organic framework (MOF), NH 2 -MIL-53(Al), was synthesized and subsequently integrated into PP, the flame-retardant efficacy in conjunction with piperazine pyrophosphate (PAPP) and melamine cyanurate (MCA) was additionally examined. When the total mass fraction of the additives was 25 %, the limiting oxygen index (LOI) of PP composite reached 31.1 %, it also passed the UL-94 test with a V-0 rating. The peak heat release rate (pHRR) and the total heat release rate (THR) was reduced by 88.55 % and 79.75 %, respectively, compared with the pure PP. The char residual char percentage increased to 8.02 %. The Tensile Strength reached 30.1 MPa. The results indicate that adding NH 2 -MIL-53(Al) significantly enhanced the flame retardancy and thermal stability of PP composites, without significantly affecting their mechanical properties, which offers a novel potential direction for the advancement of polymer flame retardants (FRs).

Coagulation–Fenton oxidation stands as a prevalent method for organic pollutant removal from MBR effluent in landfill leachate. However, its dependence on intricate coagulant preparation and hazardous H 2 O 2 handling presents challenges in logistics. Herein, a novel Al 0 /C–N, Cl composite was developed via high-energy ball milling and high-temperature sintering, which facilitates in situ generation of H 2 O 2 and aluminum salt coagulant upon stirring in oxygen-containing aqueous solutions. Under conditions of 2 g/L Al 0 /C–N, Cl and initial pH 9, H 2 O 2 production achieved 459 mg/L within 1 h, yielding an Al 3+ /H 2 O 2 bifunctional reagent. Subsequent coagulation in MBR effluent and Fenton oxidation achieved removal efficiencies of 85.5 %, 76.4 %, and 99.3 % for UV 254 , total organic carbon, and chromaticity, respectively. The efficient degradation of refractory fulvic-like substances was obtained from this novel “coagulation–Fenton” hybrid process without additional coagulants and H 2 O 2 . These results illustrated that the hybrid process is a promising and efficient technology for the advanced treatment of landfill leachate.

The corrosion inhibition performance of three amino acids, namely L-Phenylalanine (Phe), L-Methionine (Met) and L-Histidine (His) on 7150 Al alloy in 0.1 M HCl + 1 M NaCl solution was investigated by using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), cyclic polarization, DFT and MD simulations. Electrochemical results indicate that all the studied amino acid inhibitors are cathodic type, and the inhibition efficiency follows the following order under all studied temperatures (25, 35 and 45 ℃): His > Met > Phe. A strong correlation between corrosion inhibition efficiency and DFT parameters is not evident, but the adsorption sites (N and O of NH 2 -COOH-, S atom of Met and two N atoms in the imidazolyl ring of His) can be determined by Fukui indices and Mulliken charges of the local atoms. In addition, MD simulations indicate that corrosion inhibition efficiency increases with the decreasing of adsorption energy.

Solid polymer composite electrolytes possess the benefits of superior compatibility with electrodes and good thermal characteristics for more secure energy storage equipment. Herein, a new gel polymer electrolyte (GPE) containing NH 2 -MIL-53(Al), [PP 13 ][TFSI], LiTFSI, and PVDF-HFP was prepared using a simple method of solution casting. The effects of encapsulating different ratios of ionic liquid ([PP 13 ][TFSI]) into the micropores of functionalized metal-organic frameworks (NH 2 -MIL-53(Al)) on the electrochemical properties were compared. XRD, SEM, Nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherms and electrochemical measurements were conducted. This GPE demonstrates a superior ionic conductivity of 8.08×10 –4 S cm –1 at 60 °C and can sustain a discharge specific capacity of 156.6 mAh g –1 at 0.2 C for over 100 cycles. This work might offer a potential approach to alleviate the solid-solid contact with the solid-state electrolyte and electrodes, and broadens up new window for the creation of all-solid-state batteries.

Photoelectrochemical (PEC) hydrogen evolution from water splitting of semiconductor photoanodes is intricately linked to their light-absorbing capacity, surface reaction kinetics, bulk charge carrier separation efficiency, and surface charge carrier injection efficiency. Harnessing the surface plasmon resonance effect of metals emerges as a promising approach to enhance PEC performance of semiconductor photoanodes. This work presents the first application of non-noble metal Al nanoparticles to sensitize a BiVO 4 nanoporous film (NPF) photoanode. This process significantly expedites the surface kinetics of water oxidation, and improves both bulk charge carrier separation and surface carrier injection efficiencies of BiVO 4 NPF photoanode. Additionally, the surface-formed Al 2 O 3 film effectively preserves the stability of photoanode, leading to a substantial improvement in PEC hydrogen evolution of BiVO 4 NPF photoanode in a three-electrode PEC cell with sulfite scavenger. The constructed BiVO 4 /Al NPF heterojunction photoanode exhibits a hydrogen evolution rate of 73.9 µmol cm⁻ 2 h⁻¹ at 1.23 V versus reversible hydrogen electrode, 1.68 times of BiVO 4 photoanode. Additionally, BiVO 4 /Al NPF photoanode exhibits excellent stability under long-time light irradiation of 8 h. This study provides valuable insights into the design of nonnoble-metal-based plasmonic photoanodes for efficient hydrogen generation through PEC cell from the perspectives of surface reaction kinetics, charge carrier injection, and separation.

Benzene (Bz) vapor poses significant health risks to humans, even at trace concentrations. Additionally, the separation and recycling of Bz and cyclohexane (Cy) is challenging due to their similar kinetic diameters and boiling points. Developing an adsorption-separation material with stronger interactions with Bz than with Cy could serve as a viable strategy for trace Bz adsorption and Bz/Cy separation. In this study, we present a novel aluminum-based metal–organic framework, ZJU-521(Al), composed of tetrakis (4-carboxyphenyl)methane and a helical chain [Al 5 (OH) 7 (−COO) 8 ] ∞ , featuring a simple network of one-way rods and tetrahedra. This framework exhibited a uniform micropore size of 7.23 Å and a specific surface area of 1,248 m 2 g −1 , demonstrating excellent trace Bz adsorption (4.18 mmol g −1 ) at P/P 0 = 0.01, attributed to its straight channel and orthogonal-array pocket pore structure. The ideal adsorbed solution theory selectivity and separation factor values of ZJU-521(Al) for Bz/Cy were 22.50 and 6.20, respectively, indicating its potential as a material for Bz/Cy separation. Multicomponent simulations showed that Bz molecules were preferentially adsorbed in the pocket due to stronger interactions, such as Al–π interactions. Thus, ZJU-521(Al) exhibits stronger interactions with Bz than with Cy, facilitating effective Bz/Cy separation.

Graphical A Polyoxomolybdate-based metal-organic framework-derived Cu-embedded molybdenum dioxide hybrid nanoparticles was first applied as sulfur host in aluminum-sulfur batteries to resolve remaining critical challenge of polysulfide shuttle effect. The pouch cell with Cu/MoO 2 @C cathode cycled at 100 mA g −1 exhibits an initial discharge capacity of 150 mAh g −1 and maintains 100 cycles. High-performance rechargeable aluminum-sulfur batteries (RASB) have great potential for various applications owing to their high theoretical capacity, abundant sulfur resources, and good safety. Nevertheless, the practical application of RASB still faces several challenges, including the polysulfide shuttle phenomenon and low sulfur utilization efficiency. Here, we first developed a synergistic copper heterogeneous metal oxide MoO 2 derived from polymolybdate-based metal-organic framework as an efficient catalyst for mitigating polysulfide diffusion. This composite enhances sulfur utilization and electrical conductivity of the cathode. DFT calculations and experimental results reveal the catalyst Cu/MoO 2 @C not only effectively anchors aluminum polysulfides (AlPSs) to mitigate the shuttle effect, but also significantly promotes the catalytic conversion of AlPSs on the sulfur cathode side during charging and discharging. The unique nanostructure contains abundant electrocatalytic active sites of oxide nanoparticles and Cu clusters, resulting in excellent electrochemical performance. Consequently, the established RASB exhibits an initial capacity of 875 mAh g −1 at 500 mA g −1 and maintains a capacity of 967 mAh g −1 even at a high temperature of 50 °C.
