The viscosity of the CaO–MgO–Al 2 O 3 –SiO 2 system containing La 2 O 3 and Fe 2 O 3 was measured by rotation, hot-stage microscopy and hot-stage load methods to investigate the rheological behavior across multiple temperature ranges. In-situ high temperature Raman spectroscopy was employed to quantitatively analyze the microstructure. The results show that with the La 2 O 3 /Fe 2 O 3 ratio varying from 2/0 to 0/2, the viscosity decreases gradually through the multiple temperature ranges, and the viscous flow activation energy also gradually decreases. As the ratio of La 2 O 3 /Fe 2 O 3 decreases, the relative contents of Q 0 , Q 1 and Q 2 increase gradually, and the relative contents of Q 3 and Q 4 decrease significantly. This indicates that both La 2 O 3 and Fe 2 O 3 act as network modifiers and simplify the glass network structure, resulting in a decrease in the degree of network polymerization and viscosity over the multiple temperature range. Compared to La 2 O 3 , Fe 2 O 3 is a more effective network modifier, as it breaks up the silicate network more efficiently and results in a lower overall viscosity. In addition, the microstructure of the melts was quantitatively analyzed by NBO/ T , and a quantified relationship among viscosity, microstructure and temperature was given.

Bioethanol upgrading to higher alcohols (C4–10–OH) involves several sequential reaction steps occurring at multiple different active sites. Therefore, precisely engineering heterogeneous catalysts with appropriate local chemical structures of active sites and spatial environments is highly desired for efficient ethanol tandem conversion. Herein, we constructed a novel Cu-based catalyst featuring atomically dispersed Cu sites confined in a hierarchical silicalite-1@La2O3@silicalite-1 architecture, where single Cu atoms were confined in the micropores of surface silicalite-1 (S-1) zeolite nanoislands dispersed on the outer La2O3 layer encapsulating a hollow S-1 zeolite core. By modulating the content of Cu and La species, such a constructed multihierarchical Cu@S-1@La2O3@S-1 catalyst exhibited excellent performance in ethanol conversion to higher alcohols, along with an impressively high ethanol conversion of 74.9% and C4–10–OH selectivity of 85.0%, as well as an unprecedentedly high production rate of higher alcohols (10.575 mol·gCu–1·h–1) at 275 °C, far exceeding those over state-of-the-art Cu-based catalysts. It was elucidated that surface single-atom Cu sites first notably promoted the adsorption and activation of ethanol and thus initiated its dehydrogenation to produce acetaldehyde, and subsequently, acetaldehyde intermediates migrated to the outer La2O3 layer featuring abundant medium-strength basic and acidic sites, thereby facilitating the condensation of acetaldehydes and their further dehydration. This work provides an innovative approach for rationally designing high-performance supported Cu catalysts with a spatiotemporal decoupling structure applied in advanced heterogeneous tandem catalytic processes through the design of site-specific confinement within hierarchical structures.

Non-free radical photocatalysis with metal oxide catalysts is an important advanced oxidation process that enables the removal of various emerging environmental pollutants, such as tetracycline. Here, four hexagonal La2O3 photocatalysts with different densities of oxygen vacancy and crystalline features are synthesized and then further treated by ball milling. Ball milling of these La2O3 photocatalysts is found to increase the amount of oxygen vacancies on their surfaces and thereby the amount of 1O2 species produced by them. The photocatalytic degradation of TC by these La2O3 photocatalysts depends on the oxygen vacancies present on them. Furthermore, the ones with a strong (101) diffraction peak remove tetracycline from water systems largely with 1O2 and •OH species, whereas those with a weak (101) diffraction peak do so mainly via 1O2 and direct electron transfer (DET) process. Their overall catalytic properties are also studied by density functional theory calculations. Moreover, the organic products produced from tetracycline by La2O3 photocatalysts containing a strong (101) diffraction peak are found to be less toxic than those produced by La2O3 photocatalysts containing a weak (101) diffraction peak. This study also provides convincing evidence that the structures of La2O3 determine the species that is produced by it and that end up mediating photocatalytic reaction pathways (i.e., free radical versus non-free radical) to degrade an emerging environment pollutant.

Due to the urgency of developing high energy density cathode materials in power batteries, as well as the high price and environmental unfriendliness of cobalt, researchers are working on ultra-high nickel low cobalt and ultra-high nickel cobalt-free layered cathode materials. However, the poor cyclic stability and rate performance of this material resulted from structural instability and severe surface/interface side reactions during cycling seriously hinder its practical application. In this paper, LiNi 0.9 Mn 0.1 O 2 (NM90) cathode material is modified by La 2 O 3 coating, and La 3+ doping caused by thermal diffusion is achieved simultaneously. The synergistic enhancement of the two modifications can effectively improve the layered structure and reduce surface/interface side reactions. The dual-modified material shows good structural stability, the La 2 O 3 coating does not fall off and the active material does not appear fragmentation and collapse after 100 cycles. At the same time, the dual-modified material also shows excellent electrochemical performance, with a capacity retention of 83.19% after 100 cycles at 1 C and a reversible capacity of 129.9 mAh g −1 at 10 C. The electrochemical mechanism reveals that the dual-modified material effectively reduces the charge transfer resistance and greatly increases the Li + diffusion coefficient. It will provide useful reference and technical support for the research of other electrode materials. Graphical abstract The NM90 and La 2 O 3 -coated NM90 particles have similar spherical morphology and are formed by the agglomeration of many primary particles; the surface of NM90 material is evenly coated by La 2 O 3 and No obvious boundary between La 2 O 3 and NM90 materials is found; LiNi 0.9 Mn 0.1 O 2 cathode material coated by 1wt% La 2 O 3 has the best cycle stability.

This study investigates the electrical properties and stability of resistor pastes formulated from RuO 2 –CuO composites doped with La 2 O 3 . The pastes exhibit an approximately linear positive temperature coefficient (PTC) of resistance behavior, referred to as near-linear positive temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR) in this work, to emphasize the linearity of the resistance-temperature relationship, with optimal performance achieved at 1.2 wt% La 2 O 3 doping. Microstructural analyses indicate that La 2 O 3 promotes densification of the resistive layer, enhancing the stability of the conductive network. After 1000 h of storage at room temperature, the resistance change rate is approximately 0.5%. Under high-temperature conditions (150 °C for 240 h), the rate increases slightly to about 2%, demonstrating satisfactory preliminary stability.

Efficient catalytic ethanolysis and gasification of kraft lignin were conducted over a versatile supported catalyst Rh/La 2 O 3 /CeO 2 –ZrO 2 to give high-value aromatic alcohols and H 2 -rich gas. The removal of phenolic hydroxyl group was the most prevalent reaction, and importantly, almost no phenols, undesired char and saturating the aromatic ring were detected. Meanwhile, the feedstock and solvent both played key roles in H 2 generation that contributed to the hydrodeoxygenation of liquid components and made the whole catalytic process out of H 2 supply. Reusability tests of catalyst indicated that the crystalline phase transition and agglomeration of support, the loss of noble metal Rh and carbon deposition were the possible reasons for its deactivation in supercritical ethanol. Comparing with water, methanol and isopropanol system, ethanol was the only effective solvent for the depolymerization process.

Selective oxidation of high-energy C–H bonds to produce carbonyl compounds is a fundamental transformation in fine chemical synthesis. Despite tremendous efforts, the development of green and safe strategies often suffers from harsh reaction conditions and uses homogeneous transition-metal catalysts. Herein, we present an electrochemical oxidation strategy that is green and safe for the direct oxidation of benzylic C–H bonds using La2O3 nanoparticles supported on a carbon paper (La2O3/CP) anode. La2O3/CP can selectively oxidize indane to indanone in 83% yield with 73% Faraday efficiency at room temperature. It also can oxidize different kinds of compounds with benzyl C–H bonds to produce the corresponding ketones with moderate-to-excellent yields. The oxygen source was confirmed to be water by an oxygen isotope (18O) tracer experiment. Additionally, the La2O3@C/CP composite electrode was reconfigured through carbonizing oleic acid to stabilize La2O3 on CP, resulting in an improved stability due to the reinforced catalyst embedding on CP, and retaining 81% initial activity after five cycles.

A series of MOx–Cr2O3–La2O3/TiO2–N (M = Cu, Fe, Ce) catalysts with nitrogen doping were prepared via the impregnation method. Comparing the low-temperature NH3-SCR activity of the catalysts, CeCrLa/Ti–N (xCeO2–yCr2O3–zLa2O3/TiO2–N) exhibited the best catalytic performance (NO conversion approaching 100% at 220–460 °C). The physico-chemical properties of the catalysts were characterized by XRD, BET, SEM, XPS, H2-TPR, NH3-TPD and in situ DRIFTS. From the XRD and SEM results, N doping affects the crystalline growth of anatase TiO2 and MOx (M = Cu, Fe, Ce, Cr, La) which were well dispersed over the support. Moreover, the doping of N promotes the increase of the Cr6+/Cr ratio and Ce3+/Ce ratio, and the surface chemical adsorption oxygen content, which suggested the improvement of the redox properties of the catalyst. And the surface acid content of the catalyst increased with the doping of N, which is related to CeCrLa/TiO2–N having the best catalytic activity at high temperature. Therefore, the CeCrLa/TiO2–N catalyst exhibited the best NH3-SCR performance and the redox performance of the catalysts is the main factor affecting their activity. Furthermore, in situ DRIFTS analysis indicates that Lewis-acid sites are the main adsorption sites for ammonia onto CeCrLa/TiO2–N and the catalyst mainly follows the L–H mechanism.

Coarse-grained WC-10Co cemented carbides are indispensable for demanding applications such as rock drilling and shield tunneling, yet their development is restricted by poor mixing uniformity and the inherent hardness-toughness trade-off. To address this issue, a series of coarse-grained WC-10Co cemented carbides was developed by systematically tuning the ratios of La 2 O 3 and Y 2 O 3 additives via a co-precipitation and hydrogen reduction. The microstructures and mechanical properties were highly sensitive to this ratio. The optimal balance was achieved at a La: Y atomic ratio of 1:2, yielding a hardness of 86.6 HRA, a bending strength of 2201 MPa, and a remarkable fracture toughness of 25.72 MPa·m 1/2 . This improvement is mainly attributed to a synergistic interface-pinning mechanism. Specifically, trapezoidal La 2 O 3 and spherical Y 2 O 3 particles preferentially segregate at the WC/Co phase boundaries, thereby inhibiting abnormal WC grain growth and suppressing the martensitic transformation of ductile face-centered cubic cobalt (Co FCC ). Consequently, optimizing the additive ratio effectively alleviated the hardness-toughness trade-off, providing an effective paradigm for tailoring high-performance cemented carbides through precise powder-mixing engineering.

This article presents the sol-gel method for depositing La2O3thin films on n-type Si substrates and quartz substrates, and investigates the impact of annealing temperature on the microcomposition, surface morphology, optical properties, and band characteristics of the films. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis indicates that the films are amorphous below 500 °C, with annealing resulting in a hexagonal-phase La2O3(h-a2O3) and new non-hydrated impurities. Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) analysis reveals that the prepared La2O3film is unaffected by moisture. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) provide evidence that the La2O3film has a smooth, uniform surface without cracks. The roughness increases from 0.426 nm to 1.200 nm, and the film thins from 54.85 nm to 49.80 nm as the annealing temperature rises. The film’s transmittance is above 75%, as measured by UV-Vis, and the calculated optical bandgap increases from 5.11 eV to 5.75 eV. The calculated band offset of the La2O3film is greater than 1 eV, which meets the minimum requirements for MOS devices, thus providing promising prospects for La2O3films in MOS applications.Keywords:high k gate dielectric;sol-gel;La2O3;thin film

The donor effect of polycrystalline n-type bismuth telluride (Bi2Te3) during sample preparation usually results in the peak thermoelectric figure of merit (ZT) at temperatures above 400 K, severely restricting its application in the room-temperature (RT) range. A leap in RT performance requires innovative strategies that replace conventional methods of regulating point defects with limited effectiveness. We demonstrate excellent thermoelectric performance with an RT figure of merit, ZT = 1.2, and a maximum ZT = 1.3 at 325 K, by regulating the high-potential barrier heterointerfaces composed of La2O3 nanoparticles (NPs) and Bi2Te2.7Se0.3 (BTS). The created energy barriers at grain boundaries scatter and localize carriers through O–Bi ionic bonding and O–Te hybridization, enhancing the density of states in adjacent regions and leading to a rapid rise in the RT Seebeck coefficient (from 148.67 μV K–1 to 222.84 μV K–1 at 300 K). Another aspect of La2O3 NPs, as the second term of nano-oxide, introduces multiscale defect-scattering phonons, thereby enhancing thermal performance. Finally, at temperature difference ΔT = 10 K, a maximum output voltage and power, Vmax = 239.73 mV and Pmax= 10.50 mW, can be achieved with the fabricated TE module. Our findings underscore the full potential for promoting the performance of thermoelectric materials in the lower temperature region via high-energy barrier interface engineering.

Exploring non-noble metal electrocatalysts with high activity, elevated stability, and low cost is of great significance for efficient electrochemical energy storage and conversion technologies. Herein, rare-earth metal–organic framework (LaNi-MOF)-derived three-dimensional La2O3/NixPy nanoparticles embedded in nitrogen-doped porous carbon (La2O3/NixPy@NC) are rationally synthesized by a facile solvothermal method followed by pyrolysis and a low-temperature phosphating strategy. The highly conductive nitrogen-doped porous carbon and the synergistic effect between La2O3 and NixPy nanoparticles provide abundant active catalytic sites and enhance the electron mass transfer capability, which endows the La2O3/NixPy@NC catalyst with excellent oxygen evolution reaction activity. Moreover, the La2O3/NixPy@NC catalyst provides a low overpotential (η100 = 384 mV), which is superior to that of commercial RuO2 (η100 = 451 mV). More importantly, the introduction of La2O3 can not only effectively adjust the electronic structure and morphology of the catalyst but also significantly improve the long-term stability and durability of the La2O3/NixPy@NC electrocatalyst. This work provides an efficient strategy for the future design of highly efficient catalysts enriched with rare-earth species.
