Mg(SO 3 CF 3 ) 2 (Mg(OTf) 2 ) is a simple and cost-effective magnesium salt, which can promote the future applications of rechargeable magnesium batteries (RMBs). However, the simple Mg(OTf) 2 /ether electrolytes suffer from poor electrochemical properties due to the low solubility of Mg(OTf) 2 and the serious decomposition passivation of the [Mg 2+ -OTf − ] ion pair on Mg. Herein, the OTf − anion is successfully grafted on low-cost fluoride boronic esters (B(OC x H y F 2x-y+1 ) 3 ) to obtain the asymmetric and weak-coordination boron-center [B(OC x H y F 2x-y+1 ) 3 OTf] − anion in ether electrolytes. The -OCH 2 CF 3 (TFE) groups in B(TFE) 3 effectively realize the charge delocalization of the OTf − and B-O plane, restraining the independent decomposition of the [Mg 2+ -OTf − ] ion pair. The co-decomposition of the asymmetric [B(TFE) 3 OTf] − induces the formation of the B-containing organic/inorganic interphase, thus achieving a reversible Mg plating/stripping. After the further solubilization reaction, the obtained electrolyte exhibits a high average coulombic efficiency of 98.13% and long-term cycling stability (1000 h). Notably, the long cycling life (capacity retention of 90.2% after 600 cycles at 1 C) and high-rate capacity (43.0 mAh g −1 at 5 C) of the Mg/Mo 6 S 8 full cell demonstrate a favorable electrolyte/cathode compatibility. This work brings new insights to design the new-type and low-cost Mg-salts and high-performance electrolytes for commercial RMBs.

A new organic-inorganic composite coating was generated on AZ31 alloy surface with sol-gel method to improve the anti-corrosion performance and biocompatibility of AZ31 alloy in the physiological environment. The results of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), potentiodynamic polarization , pH variations in modified-simulated body fluid (m-SBF) demonstrated that the silane/Mg(OH) 2 composite coating significantly enhanced the anti-corrosion ability and slowed down the degradation of AZ31 alloy under in vitro condition. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) showed that the major composition of in-situ formation layer was Mg(OH) 2 . The surface morphology , chemical and phase constitutions of the composite coating were detected using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results demonstrated that the composite coating was uniform and defect-free. X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD) was also employed to characterize the corrosion products of all specimens immersed in m-SBF after 30 days. MTT and ALP tests indicated that the composite coating greatly enhanced the cell proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of osteoblasts on the AZ31 alloy surface.

Modifying the back contact interface plays a key role in improving the efficiency of Cu2ZnSn(S,Se)4 (CZTSSe) solar cells. Aiming at the phase decomposition and carrier recombination issues in the CZTSSe/Mo back contact interface, an ultra-thin Mg(OH)2 intermediate layer was introduced between the Mo substrate and the CZTSSe absorber layer. The Mg(OH)2 intermediate layer effectively suppressed the interface phase decomposition reactions and inhibited the generation of interface secondary phases. Meanwhile, during the high-temperature selenization process, the Mg2+ doped into CZTSSe at the back contact interface, reducing the defects and band offset at the CZTSSe/Mo interface. The performance of the device was improved, with a significant increase in efficiency compared to the control device. This work highlights the modification effect of Mg(OH)2 for improving back contact and also provides an easy-handling method to achieve high-performance CZTSSe solar cells.

Mg and N co-doped carbon quantum dots (Mg-N-CQDs) were synthesized and applied to alleviate oxygen toxicity by UV-B radiation and enhance antioxidative responses to wheat seedlings. It showed that Mg-N-CQDs pre-treatment attenuated the UV-B stress effects in a dose-dependent manner, as indicated by enhancing the characteristics of seed germination and early seedling growth parameters. Meanwhile, Mg-N-CQDs can be applied in plant nutrient solutions with nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and other fertilizers to promote the growth of seedlings. Furthermore, efficient antioxidant systems, chlorophyll content, and stability of fluorescence intensity were activated by Mg-N-CQDs pre-treatment, which effectively increased the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), and peroxidase (POD), and eliminate the contents of malondialdehyde (MDA) and hydrogen peroxide, and the production rate of superoxide anion radical in the roots and germs, thereby preventing oxidative damage from UV-B stress. Notably, Mg-N-CQDs pre-treatment significantly increased the expression of related genes to improve the antioxidant capacity of roots and germs, resulting in an increased level of ATPS, CS, and GS. The mechanism study indicated that amino and hydroxyl groups and Mg, N modified CQDs could broaden the light absorption range of CQDs and improve the ability to convert blue light and ultraviolet rays to visible light, which was the main reason why Mg-N-CQDs could relieve wheat seedlings from ultraviolet stress. Therefore, Mg-N-CQDs could serve as a regulator to reduce the damage of UV-B, laying the foundation for their application in environmental protection and agricultural production.

Graphical Grounds for defecting : Superior photocatalytic activity of Mg-doped Ta 3 N 5 is attributed to the accumulation of oxygen species and the elimination of nitrogen vacancies. The oxygen species lead to the formation of delocalized shallow donor states near the conduction band minimum whereas nitrogen vacancies are responsible for localized deep states in the band gap of Ta 3 N 5 . Tantalum nitride (Ta 3 N 5 ) highlights an intriguing paradigm for converting solar energy into chemical fuels. However, its photocatalytic properties are strongly governed by various intrinsic/extrinsic defects. In this work, we successfully prepared a series of Mg-doped mesoporous Ta 3 N 5 using a simple method. The photocatalytic and photoelectrochemical properties were investigated from the viewpoint of how defects such as accumulation of oxygen and nitrogen vacancies contribute to the catalytic activity. Our findings suggest that Mg doping is accompanied by an accumulation of oxygen species and a simultaneous elimination of nitrogen vacancies in Ta 3 N 5 . These oxygen species in Ta 3 N 5 induce delocalized shallow donor states near the conduction band minimum and are responsible for high electron mobility. The superior photocatalytic activity of Mg-doped Ta 3 N 5 can then be understood by the improved electron–hole separation as well as the lack of nitrogen vacancies, which often serve as charge-recombination centers.

The accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) within the bone marrow microenvironment leads to diminished osteogenic differentiation and heightened lipogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells residing in the bone marrow, ultimately playing a role in the development of osteoporosis (OP). Mitigating ROS levels is a promising approach to counteracting OP. In this study, a nanozyme composed of magnesium-based zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (Mg-ZIF) was engineered to effectively scavenge ROS and alleviate OP. The results of this study indicate that Mg-ZIF exhibits significant potential in scavenging ROS and effectively promoting osteogenic differentiation of bone mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs). Additionally, Mg-ZIF was found to inhibit the differentiation of BMSCs into adipose cells. In vivo experiments further confirmed the ability of Mg-ZIF to mitigate OP by reducing ROS levels. Mechanistically, Mg-ZIF enhances the differentiation of BMSCs into osteoblasts by upregulating lipid metabolic pathways through ROS scavenging. The results indicate that Mg-ZIF has potential as an effective therapeutic approach for the treatment of osteoporosis.

Dual threats of over-film (degradation) and under-film filiform corrosion (FFC) pose a significant challenge to the reliable application of Zn-Al-Mg coated steel (ZAM-steel), necessitating the development of effective protection strategies. This study introduces a novel MRS@GO nanohybrid, integrated within epoxy (EP) coatings, to enhance the corrosion resistance of ZAM-steel in 3.5 wt% NaCl solution. The hierarchical structure of MRS@GO synergistically combines the barrier properties of an insulating material (MRS) with the electrochemical benefits of a conducting material (GO), providing superior protection. This dual functionality significantly improves the overall performance and durability of ZAM-steel, making it a promising candidate as the decorative coating for the automotive industry.

The intermetallic PtBi/MgO/Mg monolithic catalyst was first prepared using non-equilibrium plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) technology. Spherical aberration-corrected transmission electron microscope (ACTEM) observation confirms the successful synthesis of the PtBi intermetallic structure. The efficiency of PtBi/Mg/MgO catalysts in catalyzing the reduction of 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) to 4-aminophenol (4-AP) in the presence of NaBH4was demonstrated. The activity factor for the catalyst is 31.8 s−1g−1, which is much higher than reported values. In addition, the resultant catalyst also exhibits excellent catalytic activity in the organic pollutant reaction of p-nitrobenzoic acid (p-NBA) and methyl orange (MO). Moreover, benefiting from ordered atomic structures and the half-embedded PtBi nanoparticles (NPs), the catalyst demonstrates excellent stability and reproducibility in the degradation of 4-NP. This study provides an example of a simple method for the preparation of intermetallic structures as catalysts for organic pollutant degradation.

The design of environmentally friendly flame retardants to achieve the balanced flame retardancy and mechanical properties of poly(L-lactic acid) (PLA) is a critical challenge. Herein, inspired by the micropapillae adorned with hydrophobic wax crystals structure of lotus leaf, Mg(OH) 2 /Co-MOF/DOPO hybrids (MH@MOF- g -DOPO) were successfully constructed through in-situ growth of Co-MOF and chemical grafting of DOPO. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) revealed that the Co-MOF content in MH@MOF was approximately 27.3 wt%, while the grafted DOPO in MH@MOF- g -DOPO was about 19.5 wt%. Owing to the unique microstructure, the water contact angle of MH@MOF- g -DOPO reached to 113.7°, implying its hydrophobic surface. Subsequently, the as-synthesized MH@MOF- g -DOPO was used to prepare PLA composites, which exhibited significantly improved flame retardancy, as indicated by the LOI value of 30.2 %, UL-94 V0 rating, and the reduction on PHRR by 70.1 %. The flame retardant mechanism was attributed to the synergistic effects of multiple flame retardant units (MH, Co-MOF and P) in MH@MOF- g -DOPO hybrids. Furthermore, the flame retarded PLA/20MH@MOF- g -DOPO achieved the brittle-tough transformation via uniaxial pre-stretch process, thus displayed outstanding mechanical properties (good stiffness and excellent toughness). Notably, compared to the pristine undraw PLA, the Youngꞌs modulus, tensile strength and the elongation at break PLA/20MH@MOF- g -DOPO increased by 35 %, 38 % and 1957 %, respectively. This work proposes an innovative and efficient method to achieve the excellent balance on flame retardancy and mechanical properties of PLA composites, benefiting to promoting their real-world applications as functional polymer materials.

A novel Mg-loaded chitosan carbonized microsphere (MCCM) was prepared for simultaneous adsorption of ammonium and phosphate in this study, through the investigation of preparation procedures, addition ratio, and preparation temperature. Pollutants removals by MCCM were more acceptable with 64.71% for ammonium and 99.26% for phosphorus, compared with chitosan carbonized microspheres (CCM), Mg-loaded chitosan hydrogel beads (MCH) and MgCl 2 ·6H 2 O. Addition ratio of 0.6:1 (m chitosan : m MgCl2 ) and preparation temperature of 400 °C in MCCM preparation were responsible for pollutant removal and yield. The effect analysis of MCCM dosage, solution pH, pollutant concentration , adsorption mode and coexisting ions on the removal for both ammonium and phosphate indicated that pollutants removals were increased with increasing MCCM dosages, and achieved the peak at pH 8.5, but presented to be stable with Na + , K + , Ca 2+ , Cl − , NO 3 − , CO 3 2− and SO 4 2− , except for Fe 3+ .Adsorption mechanisms discussion implied that simultaneous ammonium and phosphate removal with MCCM was attributed to struvite precipitation, ion exchange, hydrogen bonding, electrostatic attraction and Mg–P complexation, suggesting that MCCM presents a new way for simultaneous concentrated ammonium and phosphate removal in wastewater treatment .

This study developed a novel organic-inorganic hybrid composite, shortly as GO-PEG-LDHs, by self-assembly of exfoliated Mg–Al layer double hydroxide (LDHs) on the polyethylene glycol (PEG) grafted graphene oxide (GO) to achieve the selective adsorption of hemoglobin (Hb). The prepared GO-PEG-LDHs has a hierarchical structure with a homogeneous loading of exfoliated LDHs nano-sheets on its surface. The adsorption test reveals that GO-PEG-LDHs exhibits an adsorption efficiency of 95.03% for Hb and 3.45% for bovine serum albumin (BSA). The adsorption of Hb follows the Langmuir model, with an ultrahigh adsorption capacity of 55248.6 mg/g, which is higher than any previously reported materials. Meanwhile, the adsorbed Hb can be efficiently recovered through elution with a 50 mM Tris-HCl buffer, with an elution efficiency of 80.77%. Circular dichroism (CD) spectra indicate no conformational change for Hb during the process of adsorption/desorption. Furthermore, the composite demonstrates the ability to selectively isolate Hb in the presence of interfering protein BSA, indicating its potential for practical applications.

Magnesium (Mg) alloys are widely used in bone fixation and bone repair as biodegradable bone-implant materials. However, their clinical application is limited due to their fast corrosion rate and poor mechanical stability. Here, the development of Mg–2Zn–0.5Ca–0.5Sr (MZCS) and Mg–2Zn–0.5Ca–0.5Zr (MZCZ) alloys with improved mechanical properties, corrosion resistance, cytocompatibility, osteogenesis performance, and antibacterial capability is reported. The hot-extruded (HE) MZCZ sample exhibits the highest ultimate tensile strength of 255.8 ± 2.4 MPa and the highest yield strength of 208.4 ± 2.8 MPa and an elongation of 15.7 ± 0.5%. The HE MZCS sample shows the highest corrosion resistance, with the lowest corrosion current density of 0.2 ± 0.1 µA cm −2 and the lowest corrosion rate of 4 ± 2 µm per year obtained from electrochemical testing, and a degradation rate of 368 µm per year and hydrogen evolution rate of 0.83 ± 0.03 mL cm −2 per day obtained from immersion testing. The MZCZ sample shows the highest cell viability in relation to MC3T3-E1 cells among all alloy extracts, indicating good cytocompatibility except at 25% concentration. Furthermore, the MZCZ alloy shows good antibacterial capability against Staphylococcus aureus .
