The selective extraction of lithium from brine by lithium aluminum layered double hydroxides (Li/Al-LDHs) adsorption is used industrially. To maintain the structural and performance stability of the Li/Al-LDHs adsorbent, the Li/Al-LDHs adsorbent can be doped with some high electron density metals such as Fe(III) and regenerated by dilute Li-containing aqueous solution. In this study, we use Fe(III) doping and FeOOH nanocomposite to stabilize the structure of Li/Al-LDHs. The nanocomposites of Li/Al-LDHs, Fe dopped Li/Al-LDHs (Fe-Li/Al-LDHs), and FeOOH were synthesized by the phase-separated sol–gel method and granulated by using crosslinked alginate polymers. The nanocomposites and granulated nanocomposites were characterized by SEM, TEM, XPS, FT-IR, and XRD analyses. The adsorption–desorption performance of the granulated nanocomposites was evaluated with a single LiCl solution and the brine from Da Qaidam Salt Lake. The isotherms, kinetics, and thermodynamics parameters and Arrhenius parameters of the lithium adsorption of the granulated nanocomposites were obtained. At the 80% mass loading of the nanocomposites in the granulation, the granulated nanocomposites statically adsorbed 9.46 mg/g lithium and dynamically 8.18 mg/g lithium from Da Qaidam Salt Lake brine. The Fe(III) doping and nanocomposite with FeOOH reduced the dissolution of the Li/Al-LDHs in the granulated nanocomposites and did not negatively affect the adsorption capacity of the granulated nanocomposites.

To alleviate environment issues derived from CO 2 emission, developing effective and economical methods for CO 2 capture has attracted much attention for decades. Metal-organic frameworks possess high porosity and stability, which is favorable to the adsorption of small molecules. Herein, an aluminum-based MOF, aluminum terephthalate [MIL-53(Al)], was synthesized with H 2 O and N , N′ -dimethylformamide as co-solvent via microwave-assisted method for CO 2 adsorption. The parameters including pre-mixing mode, microwave temperature, microwave power and reaction time were varied to study their influences on crystal structure, morphology and CO 2 adsorption capacity of MW-MIL-53(Al). Wherein, MW-MIL-53(Al) prepared with pre-mixing mode of stirring at 130 °C, 200 W and 3 h presents high crystallinity and rod-like morphology. The synthesized MW-MIL-53(Al) possesses relatively high BET surface area (961 m 2 /g), pore volume (0.46 cm 3 /g) and thermal stability (up to 480 °C), and its CO 2 adsorption capacity is 2.16 mmol CO 2 /g adsorbent under 25 °C and 0.1 MPa, which is higher than CS-MIL-53(Al) synthesized via conventional solvothermal method at 130 °C for 48 h.

Fluorescence intensity ratio (FIR) technique demonstrates significant potential for non-contact temperature sensing with rapid response time, while the design of FIR probes is particularly intriguing. Herein, we report Pr–Al co-doped MgGa 2 O 4 persistent luminescence nanoparticles (PLNPs), as MgAl 0.04 Ga 1.96 O 4 : 0.1 % Pr 3+ (MAGP), for ratiometric temperature sensing application. Pr 3+ ions function as the emission centers for dual-emission at 612 and 494 nm, while Al 3+ ions adjust the lattice environment around Pr 3+ ions to enhance the luminescence. Consequently, 274 nm excitation induces the emissions at 494 and 612 nm, as the transitions of Pr 3+ for 3 P 0 → 3 H 4 and 1 D 2 → 3 H 4 , respectively. The emission mechanism is substantiated by density functional theory calculations, regarding the electronic transitions of Pr 3+ . Ratiometric temperature sensing is achieved over the temperature range of 303–573 K with the thermally non-coupled mechanism of the 3 P 0 / 1 D 2 energy levels by FIR at 612 and 494 nm, respectively. The maximum relative sensitivity was 0.91 %. The mechanism is corroborated as the non-thermally coupled energy levels through intervalence charge transfer. Thus, the reversible and sensitive response was illustrated for temperature measurement and the non-thermally coupled mechanism is efficient for the design of ratiometric temperature sensors.

Due to their ultra-thin morphology, larger specific surface area and more exposed active sites, two-dimensional (2D) metal–organic framework (MOF) nanosheets can break the limitations of three-dimensional (3D) MOFs in sensitivity, response speed and the limit of detection for sensing applications. In this work, fluorescent NH2-MIL-53(Al) nanosheets were developed as a fluoride detection sensor compared with the 3D bulk counterpart. The morphological and structural characteristics of the obtained products were systematically characterized, and the favourable chemical and fluorescence stability of the NH2-MIL-53(Al) nanosheets were explored. The fluorescent NH2-MIL-53(Al) nanosheets showed high sensitivity, fast response speed (as short as 10 seconds), low limit of detection (15.2 ppb), and wide linear detection range (5–250 μM), and all performances were better than those of their bulk counterpart. In addition, the sensing mechanism was investigated to be based on the transformation of the NH2-MIL-53(Al) framework that induced the release of fluorescent ligands, resulting in an exceptionally enhanced fluorescence. This work highlights the advantages of 2D MOF nanosheets in fluorescence sensing applications.

Functionally graded materials (FGMs) are promising protective structures for lightweight armor plates because of their features and designability. However, traditional discretely layered FGMs with macroscopic interfaces can generate unfavorable interlaminar stresses under ballistic attacks, eventually leading to delamination or interlayer tearing. Herein, we constructed new B 4 C/2024Al FGMs without sharp interfaces between layers. The FGM armor systems with varying through-the-thickness distributions were tested against 7.62 mm armor-piercing incendiary projectiles. The effects of compositional gradient exponent on the damage characteristics, stress distribution and energy evolution were numerically and experimentally investigated. The results indicated that the smooth transition within through-the-thickness microstructures effectively avoided the occurrence of interlayer delamination or tearing. The compositional gradient exponent played an essential role in the impact response of the FGM targets. The FGM having a linear composition gradient outperformed other nonlinear types with respect to energy absorption and ballistic properties due to the reduced tensile wave strength and prolonged projectile-target interaction time. Furthermore, the structural optimization problem with the objective of maximizing ballistic efficiency was solved using the conjugate gradient method, and the optimal design of the FGM targets was achieved. The current research provides a promising design guideline for developing and optimizing new advanced lightweight composite armor.

In this study, the selective adsorption of aromatic compounds on mesoporous MIL-53(Al) was investigated, and followed the order: Biphenyl (Biph) > Triclosan (TCS) > Bisphenol A (BPA) > Pyrogallol (Pyro) > Catechol (Cate) > Phenol (Phen), and exhibited high selectivity toward TCS in binary compounds. In addition to hydrophobicity and hydrogen bonding, π–π interaction/stacking predominated, and more evidently with double benzene rings. TCS-containing halogens could increase π interaction on the benzene rings via forming Cl–π stacking with MIL-53(Al). Moreover, site energy distribution confirmed that complementary adsorption mainly occurred in the Phen/TCS system, as evidenced by Δ Q pri (the decreased solid-phase TCS concentration of the primary adsorbate) < Q sec (the solid-phase concentrations of the competitor (Phen)) . In contrast , competitive sorption occurred in the BPA/TCS and Biph/TCS systems within 30 min due to Δ Q pri = Q sec , followed by substitution adsorption in the BPA/TCS system, but not for the Biph/TCS system, likely attributed to the magnitude of energy gaps (E g ) and bond energy of TCS (1.80 eV, 362 kJ/mol) fallen between BPA (1.74 eV, 332 kJ/mol) and Biph (1.99 eV, 518 kJ/mol) according to the density-functional theory of Gaussian models. Biph with a more stable electronic homeostasis than TCS lead to the occurrence of substitution adsorption in the TCS/BPA system, but not in the TCS/Biph system. This study provides insight into the mechanisms of different aromatic compounds on MIL-53(Al).

Ce 3+ -doped Gd 3 (Al 1-x Ga x ) 5 O 12 (Ce:GAGG) transparent ceramics were successfully prepared via a solid state reaction/oxygen sintering method. The effects of Ga substitution on the structure and optical properties of the ceramics were investigated. The highest quantum yield and relatively high scintillation light yield were achieved in the Gd 3 (Al 0.6 Ga 0.4 ) 5 O 12 . The investigated processing technique demonstrated advantages such as increased flexibility and short processing time, thus being very cost effective. The investigated approach provides a much more economical alternative to the conventional melt growth processes used to fabricate single crystals.

Metastable intermolecular composites (MICs), also called nanothermites, are attracting wide attention mainly due to the increased interfacial contact area of the fuels and oxidants therein. In this study, an alcohol-thermal technique is adopted to synthesize approximately core-shell structured Al@CuO MICs, in which process copper acetate is used as the precursor of CuO while Al powder with a wide size distribution (50 nm−5 µm in diameter) is used as cores. The energy-release characteristics of the materials are studied by performing thermal analysis, constant-volume combustion cell tests, and high-speed camera imaging of the combustion process . The results show that Al nanoparticles are surrounded by CuO nanoparticles that are with an average diameter of about 10 nm, while micron-sized Al particles are coated by a continuous layer of nanoplatelets that are assembled from CuO nanoparticles. Benefiting from the enhanced interfacial contact compared with that of ultrasonically mixed counterpart, Al@CuO shows a lower apparent activation energy of solid-state interfacial reaction, a higher light intensity, a shorter burning time, a larger pressure output, and a higher pressurization rate. It is also found that equivalent ratio has a great effect on the combustion process, and a slightly fuel-rich formulation is preferred in this study. The synthesis method developed in this study may also be adapted to the preparation of other core-shell structured MICs.

Fluorescent metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) have received great attention in sensing application. Here, we report the exploration of fluorescent MIL-53(Al) for highly selective and sensitive detection of Fe3+ in aqueous solution. The cation exchange between Fe3+ and the framework metal ion Al3+ in MIL-53(Al) led to the quenching of the fluorescence of MIL-53(Al) due to the transformation of strong-fluorescent MIL-53(Al) to weak-fluorescent MIL-53(Fe), allowing highly selective and sensitive detection of Fe3+ in aqueous solution with a linear range of 3–200 μM and a detection limit of 0.9 μM. No interferences from 0.8 M Na+; 0.35 M K+; 11 mM Cu2+; 10 mM Ni2+; 6 mM Ca2+, Pb2+, and Al3+; 5.5 mM Mn2+; 5 mM Co2+ and Cr3+; 4 mM Hg2+, Cd2+, Zn2+, and Mg2+; 3 mM Fe2+; 0.8 M Cl–; 60 mM NO2– and NO3–; 10 mM HPO42–, H2PO4–, SO32–, SO42–, and HCOO–; 8 mM CO32–, HCO3–, and C2O42–; and 5 mM CH3COO– were found for the detection of 150 μM Fe3+. The possible mechanism for the quenching effect of Fe3+ on the fluorescence of MIL-53(Al) was elucidated by inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry, X-ray diffraction spectrometry, and Fourier transform infrared spectrometry. The specific cation exchange behavior between Fe3+ and the framework Al3+ along with the excellent stability of MIL-53(Al) allows highly selective and sensitive detection of Fe3+ in aqueous solution. The developed method was applied to the determination of Fe3+ in human urine samples with the quantitative spike recoveries from 98.2% to 106.2%.

This study employed a wet impregnation method to synthesize five types of Cu/HZSM-5 adsorbents with Si/Al ratios of 25, 50, 85, 200, and 300, used for the removal of H 2 S in low-temperature, low-oxygen environments. The impact of different Si/Al ratios on the adsorption oxidative performance of Cu 30 /HZSM-5–85 adsorbents was investigated. According to the performance test results, Cu 30 /HZSM-5–85 exhibited the highest breakthrough capacity, reaching 231.75 mg H 2 S/g sorbent . Cu/HZSM-5 sorbent maintains a strong ability to remove H 2 S even under humid conditions and shows excellent water resistance. XRD , BET, and XPS results revealed that CuO is the primary active species, with Cu 30 /HZSM-5–85 having the largest surface area and highest CuO content, providing more active sites for H 2 S adsorption. H 2 -TPR and O 2 -TPD results confirmed that Cu 30 /HZSM-5–85 sorbent exhibits outstanding redox properties and oxygen storage capacity, contributing to excellent oxygen transferability in the molecular sieve adsorption-oxidation process. With notable characteristics such as a large surface area, high desulfurization efficiency, and water resistance, Cu 30 /HZSM-5–85 sorbents hold significant importance for industrial applications.

Monolithic Mn-Fe-Ce-Al-O catalyst with honeycomb cordierite ceramic as a carrier was reported for the first time for low temperature deNOxapplication. In the reaction of selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of NO with NH3, a NO conversion of above 80% at 100 °C was obtained. Notably, the catalyst also showed excellent resistance against SO2and H2O. About 60% NO conversion was maintained after successive operation in the mixed stream of SO2and H2O for 168 h. The Brunner−Emmet−Teller (BET) measurement, SEM, EDS, thermogravimetric analysis (TG), FT-IR, and XPS results of the used catalysts indicated that certain amounts of ammonium sulfate was formed on the surface of the catalyst. XPS results revealed that partial of Fe2+was oxidized to Fe3+during the reaction process, and Fe2+species have strong redox ability, which can explain the decrease in activity after reaction. In addition, SO2and H2O induced a transformation of Ce from Ce4+to Ce3+on the surface of the catalyst, which increased the amount of chemisorbed oxygen. Owing to these factors, the addition of Ce and Fe species contributes to excellent resistance of the catalyst to SO2and H2O.Keywords:honeycomb catalyst;Mn-Fe-Ce-Al-O;low temperature denitration;water and sulfur resistance
