A highly stable solvate ionic liquid comprising a 2:1 (mol/mol) mixture of ethylene carbonate (EC) and AlCl 3 was used for near room-temperature electrochemical codeposition of an Al-Nd alloy using chlorides as precursors. This liquid is low-cost, easy to prepare, and has high electrochemical stability. The ionic structure was analyzed by 27 Al nuclear magnetic resonance; Raman spectroscopy and the dissolution phenomenon was studied by ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy. The dissolution mechanism of NdCl 3 in this solvate ionic liquid was derived as 3[AlCl 2 (EC) n ] + + 2NdCl 3 ⇆ 2Nd(III) + 3[AlCl 4 ] − + 3 n EC. Cyclic voltammetry was used to explore the electrochemical behavior of Nd- and Al-containing species, revealing that the reduction of Al and Nd are both one-step electron-gaining processes. X-ray diffraction confirmed that an Al-Nd alloy can be obtained in the form of thermally stable Al 2 Nd by potentiostatic electrolysis at high cathode overpotential (− 3.5 V vs. Al). Although the deposited alloy layer is not dense, Al-containing solvate ILs have immense potential in green electrometallurgy because of their higher tunability and similar properties to ILs.

Magnesium alumina spinel solid solutions with different chemical compositions were synthesized and their crystal structures were refined using the Rietveld method based on synchrotron radiation X-ray diffraction (XRD). A linear relationship between the lattice parameters a 0 and x in Mg 1- x Al 2+2/3 x □ 1/3 x O 4 was established, the thermal stability and lattice thermal expansion of the solid solutions by in-situ high temperature XRD were investigated. Alumina was eliminated from the high-solubility alumina-rich spinel solid solution to form corundum and a lower-solubility alumina-rich spinel solid solution. The relationship between a 0 and temperature is expressed by a quadratic polynomial. The thermal conductivity of Mg 1- x Al 2+2/3 x □ 1/3 x O 4 decreased almost linearly with an increase in x , which is attributed to the stronger point-defect scattering effect induced by the difference in atomic mass and cation radii and the increase in cation vacancies as alumina dissolves in spinel.

Aluminum ion batteries (AIBs) are currently attracting widespread interest due to their high capacity, low price and high safety, while practical applications are severely hampered by the lack of suitable cathodes and the relatively complex and divergent energy storage mechanisms. Polyaniline has shown considerable promise for application in various rechargeable batteries, however, little research has been conducted on the application to AIBs. Here, the emeraldine base polyaniline (PANI) using a chemical oxidation method is synthesized and then assembled in an Al/PANI cell with a chloroaluminate ionic liquid as the electrolyte. Compared with the conventional protonated polyaniline cathode, the PANI cathode shows better electrochemical performance during the 0–2.4 V charging/discharging process, exhibiting a discharge specific capacity of 155 mAh g -1 at a current density of 1 A g -1 and capacity retention of 80% after 2000 cycles. Meanwhile, ex-situ characterization reveals a novel conversion process of this system different from that of conventional proton-doped polyaniline materials, in which the electrolyte is spontaneously complexed with the PANI cathode. This is followed by reversible doping of the chloroaluminate anion in the –NH- group of the PANI-AlCl 3 complex, yielding high reversible capacity and long cycle life. These findings have made new attempts and laid the foundation for the development of high-performance aluminum ion batteries with conducting polymers as the cathode material and further clarification of their charge storage and reaction mechanisms.

Stepwise separation of multi-species with a single type of chemical additives (such as surfactants) is an auspicious but challenging issue in many engineering processes as one surfactant usually lacks the ability to interact with different components. One promising strategy is to develop an environment-responsive surfactant, which possesses various functional groups to anchor target constituents under different environmental conditions. In this work, we have prepared a pH-responsive surfactant (2-(benzylthio)-acetohydroxamic acid, BTHA) possessing two pH-switchable groups (i.e., thioether and hydroxamate) that can selectively interact with different target substances, thus enabling stepwise and efficient separation of a three-component mineral system. The single in-house synthesized BTHA is successfully applied to the sequential separation of pyrite, diaspore, and kaolinite from high-sulfur bauxite by simply tuning the solution pH. Specifically, under the acidic condition (pH 6.0), the hydroxamate group of BTHA is deactivated, thus only the thioether groups can directionally interact with pyrite and enable the selective flotation recovery of pyrite to 85.9%. When the solution pH is subsequently increased to 8.0, the active hydroxamate group of BTHA can tightly chelate with diaspore and result in its efficient separation from kaolinite. The bifunctional surfactant exhibits strong and selective interactions with target substrates via pH modulation, allowing the adsorption selectivity and efficient stepwise separation, which provides an innovative paradigm for the development of novel surfactants with diverse applications in the mineral, metallurgical, chemical, and renewables recycling industry.

The micro-nano structures were successfully fabricated on Al-Li alloy by adjusting the concentration of sodium formate and controlling the hydrothermal temperature though hydrothermal treatment. The growing directions and morphologies for micro-nano structures were studied. The results show the micro-nano structures were a mixture of AlOOH and Al(OH) 3 with good crystallinity, the intensity of diffraction peaks increases with the increase of sodium formate concentration, and the growing direction of micro-nano structure varied from (2 0 0) at 110 °C and 130 °C to (1 1 1) at 150 °C. The morphologies of the micro-nano structures exhibit patterned surface with overlapping leaf-like nano-plates at 110 °C and 130 °C, nordstandite is predominant, flower-like at 150 °C,aluminum oxide hydroxide is predominant.These findings directly demonstrate that the preferential growing direction and the morphologies of micro-nano structure has been confirmed with the concentration of sodium formate and the hydrothermal temperature.

During the tantalum ore smelting process, radioactive substances such as uranium and thorium accumulate in the slag, posing significant environmental risks if not properly treated. The traditional acid leaching method remains suboptimal for extracting these elements from tantalum slag. To address this limitation, this study employed aluminum salt as leaching aid, effectively enhancing uranium and thorium extraction efficiency. This approach offers a novel methodology for recovering uranium and thorium from refractory slag generated after tantalum ore smelting.

Al/NH 4 CoF 3 - Φ ( Φ = 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0 and 3.0) binary composites and Al-NH 4 CoF 3 @P(VDF-HFP) ternary composites are fabricated via ultrasonication-assisted blending and electrostatic spraying. The effect of equivalence ratio ( Φ ) on the reaction properties is systematically investigated in the binary Al/NH 4 CoF 3 system. For ternary systems, electrostatic spraying allows both components to be efficiently encapsulated by P(VDF-HFP) and to achieve structural stabilization and enhanced reactivity through synergistic interfacial interactions. Morphological analysis using SEM/TEM revealed that P(VDF-HFP) formed a protective layer on Al and NH 4 CoF 3 particles, improving dispersion, hydrophobicity (water contact angle increased by 80.5% compared to physically mixed composites) and corrosion resistance. Thermal decomposition of NH 4 CoF 3 occurred at 265 °C, releasing NH 3 and HF, which triggered exothermic reactions with Al. The ternary composites exhibited a narrowed main reaction temperature range and concentrated heat release, attributed to improved interfacial contact and polymer decomposition. Combustion tests demonstrated that Al-NH 4 CoF 3 @P(VDF-HFP) achieved self-sustaining combustion. In addition, a simple validation was done by replacing the Al component in the aluminium-containing propellant, demonstrating its potential application in the propellant field. This work establishes a novel strategy for designing stable, high-energy composites with potential applications in advanced propulsion systems.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the protective effects of SeY (selenium-rich yeast) against Al (aluminum)-induced inflammation and ionic imbalances. Male Kunming mice were treated with Al (10 mg/kg) and/or SeY (0.1 mg/kg) by oral gavage for 28 days. The degree of inflammation was assessed by mRNA expression of inflammatory biomarkers. Ionic disorders were assessed by determining the Na + , K + , and Ca 2+ content, as well as the alteration in ATP-modifying enzymes (ATPases), including Na + K + -ATPase, Ca 2+ -ATPase, Mg 2+ -ATPase, Ca 2+ Mg 2+ -ATPase, and the mRNA levels of ATPase’s subunits in kidney. It was observed here that SeY exhibited a significant protective effect on the kidney against the Al-induced upregulation of pro-inflammatory and downregulation of anti-inflammatory cytokines. Furthermore, a significant effect of Al on the Na + , K + , Ca 2+ , and Mg 2+ levels in kidney was observed, and Al was observed to decrease the activities of Na + K + -ATPase, Mg 2+ -ATPase, and Ca 2+ Mg 2+ -ATPase. The mRNA expression of the Na + K + -ATPase subunits and Ca 2+ -ATPase subunits was regulated significantly by Al. Notably, SeY modulated the Al-induced alterations of ion concentrations, ATPase activity, and mRNA expression of their subunits. These results suggest that SeY prevents renal toxicity caused by Al via regulation of inflammatory responses, ATPase activities, and transcription of their subunits.

Aluminum powder explosion accidents occurred frequently, but the mechanism of aluminum powder explosion is unclear. Therefore, the inhibitive effect of aluminum powder explosion plays a key role. To evaluate the inhibition capacity of different kinds of carbonates and phosphates: NaH 2 PO 4 , (NH 4 ) 2 HPO 4 , NH 4 H 2 PO 4 , KHCO 3 and NaHCO 3 on aluminum deflagrations , a standard 20-L spherical chamber was used to determine the explosion severity, characterized by the maximum explosion pressure ( P max ). New parameters have been proposed: the minimum significant inert concentration (MSIC) and the minimum complete inert concentration (MCIC), which characterized the effect of inert. Experimental results showed that from the minimum significant inert concentration (MSIC) and the minimum complete inert concentration (MCIC), phosphate can have a significant inhibiting effect. 40% NaH 2 PO 4 can totally inert the aluminum explosion, and 50% (NH 4 ) 2 HPO 4 or 50% NH 4 H 2 PO 4 can also suppress the explosion. Through simulation, phosphate mainly acts via a chemical inhibition pathway, which inhibits the reaction of aluminum powder and oxygen by catalyzing the recombination of H atoms and O atoms. Carbonate performs inhibition in chemically, producing CO 2 , diluting the oxygen around the aluminum powder. Studies indicated that the explosion pressure of the mixture decreases as the concentration of inert dust increases. However, when the concentration of carbonates was low, SEEP (suppressant enhanced explosion parameter) phenomenon was found. This research work has a potential industrial application in high hazard aluminum working condition, which can help decrease the explosion pressure and reduce the accident loss.

In this study, an energetic material was prepared by depositing nano-Al on CuO arrays via electrophoretic deposition (EPD), which offers a feasible route for nano-Al integration. The morphology and structure of the CuO arrays and Al/CuO composites were characterized by scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction. The CuO arrays were homogenously salix leaf-like structure with a width of ~150 to 200 nm. The energy density of Al/CuO composites was approximate to 1454.5 J/g by integrating the differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) plot and the combustion performance was recorded by a high-speed camera. Moreover, the combustion flames were violent and the whole reaction process only lasted 72.2 ms, indicating that the energy of the Al/CuO nanothermite can be released effectively.

Open-cell Fe-Al intermetallic foams were successfully prepared by a simple and energy-saving thermal explosion (TE) process. The effects of the Fe/Al molar ratio (Fe-(40–50) at. pct Al) and thermal treatment temperature on the TE temperature profile, phase composition, pore characteristics, and oxidation resistance of the prepared foams were investigated. The results showed that the Al content significantly influenced the ignition ( T ig ) and combustion ( T c ) temperatures of the TE process; in particular, as the Al content decreased, T ig increased gradually from 623 °C to 636 °C and T c decreased from 1059 °C to 981 °C. FeAl was identified as the dominant phase in the thermally treated foams. The Fe-Al intermetallic foams displayed an open porosity of 60 vol pct, with pores connected with each other to form an open pore structure. The formation of the pores was attributed to the expansion of interparticle pores in the pressed body during the TE reaction. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis of the Fe-50Al foam showed that the Al 2p and O 1s binding energies were 74.5 eV and at 531.4 eV, respectively. The formation of a surface alumina layer in the early stages of the oxidation process resulted in the parabolic oxidation rate law, and the Fe-50Al foams exhibited an excellent resistance to oxidation at 650 °C in air. These results suggest that the synthesized Fe-Al foams represent promising materials for applications involving an oxidizing environment and high temperatures.

Porous nano-aluminum@polymer microspheres with a narrow size range are fabricated to exploit the energy advantages of nano-aluminum (nAl). Nitrocellulose (NC) and glycidyl azide polymer (GAP) act as functional binders and adhere tightly to the surface of nAl particles and aggregate them into spheres. The formed holes on the microsphere surface are considered gas diffusion channels to the microsphere interior. Confined combustion results show that nAl@GAP microspheres generate the highest peak pressure, and maximum pressurization rate of nAl@NC microspheres is comparatively higher than that of others. Given the microsphere structure, thermal behavior in air shows that the oxidation-reaction mechanism of the microspheres is close to that of nAl particles. Interfacial reactions between nAl particles and gases produced by polymer decomposition enhance microsphere reactivity. The heat released by polymer decomposition maintains the structure, activates nAl particles, and accelerates combustion propagation, which are positively correlated with the energy content of the polymer. The unconfined test results showed that nAl@GAP microsphere combustion propagates faster than that of nAl@NC microspheres.
