Although metal–N-doped carbons are promising electrocatalysts for CO 2 -to-CO conversion due to their high conversion efficiency and current density, their commercial application is still challenging due to their narrow potential/current range. In general, a wide potential/current electrocatalyst is in high demand for industrial CO 2 electrocatalysis. Controllable strategy to tune N configurations toward pyridinic-enriched metal–N x active sites is attractive. The synergetic effect of the ability of pyridinic N to capture Lewis acidic CO 2 and the characteristics of Ni–N active sites to inhibit the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) can achieve a wide potential window, which has high practical value. Herein, the well-chosen precursors resulting in a pyridinic-enriched Ni–N x site can selectively catalyze CO 2 toward CO generation in aqueous media with a high Faradaic efficiency (FE) of 100% with an overpotential of 680 mV. Continuous CO FE > 90% was recorded under a wide range of potentials without decay. Motivated by its practical characteristics in CO 2 electrocatalysts, a Zn–CO 2 battery is assembled achieving a CO 2 –CO conversion efficiency of more than 90% in a wide discharge current window. Therefore, the results highlight that pyridinic-enriched Ni–N x holds great promise as simultaneous CO-selective electrocatalyst by suitably tuning M–N configurations as new perspective strategy.

Zn(O,S) has been successfully doped with different amounts of Ho and characterized with X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), and transient photocurrent (TPC). The as-prepared Ho-doped Zn(O,S) catalysts with different Ho amounts are evaluated for hydrogen evolution reaction. The catalyst with the best performance in evolving hydrogen is further utilized to hydrogenate 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) to 4-aminophenol (4-AP). It is found that doping with Ho obviously enhanced charge transfer and photoresponse properties of the catalyst. Therefore, the modified Zn(O,S) can optimally evolve hydrogen by 18 624 μmol/g, which is 20% higher than that of pristine Zn(O,S). Subsequently, the in situ generated hydrogen ions on catalyst surfaces also play an important role as a hydrogen source to hydrogenate 4-NP to 4-AP without any reducing agents such as NaBH4, which is commonly used as a hydrogen source. As Ho is doped in the lattices of Zn(O,S), it acts not only to separate photocarriers and to enhance the charge transfer but also to shorten the diffusion time of nitrophenolate ions to catalyst surfaces for further photocatalytic hydrogenation reaction (PHR) process. A plausible PHR mechanism has been provided to elucidate the great performance of Ho-modified Zn(O,S) for photocatalytic hydrogenation.

The synthesis of structured CO 2 adsorbents with high separation selectivity, strong stability, and low cost to meet industrial needs is very challenging. Here, we synthesized an ultra-stable Zn-MOF (Zn 2 (3-amion-1,2,4-triazolate) 2 (oxalate), Zn 2 (Atz) 2 Ox), and adopted an efficient in-situ growth strategy to produce millimeter-sized spherical Zn 2 (Atz) 2 Ox@AFP (Amino-Functionalization Poly(acrylates), AFP) composite. Due to the heterogeneous crystallization induced by the nanoscale crystal seeds and the confined space of AFP, the three-dimensional (3D) Zn 2 (Atz) 2 Ox bulk crystals transformed into 2D nanosheets with higher CO 2 adsorption efficiency and faster kinetics. Zn 2 (Atz) 2 Ox@AFP has a high affinity for CO 2 (2.05 mmol g −1 at 0.05 bar and 313 K) while exhibiting an inhibitory effect for N 2 (only 0.051 mmol g −1 at 1.0 bar and 313 K), leading to an excellent ideal adsorbed solution theory (IAST) selectivity (2990 for CO 2 /N 2 (5/95, v/v)). Interestingly, Zn 2 (Atz) 2 Ox@AFP exhibits a unique gating effect on CH 4 adsorption, which further extends its application range to natural gas purification. Dynamic breakthrough experiments confirmed that Zn 2 (Atz) 2 Ox@AFP can selectively capture CO 2 in the simulated CO 2 /N 2 (5/95) and CO 2 /CH 4 (5/95) mixed gases.

A novel l -arginine modified magnetic bioadsorbent (Fe 3 O 4 -CS-L) was fabricated to remove Zn(II), Cd(II) and Pb(II) from aqueous solution by adsorption method. Several techniques such as FT-IR, SEM, XRD, TGA and VSM were used for characterizing the Fe 3 O 4 -CS-L. The results showed that the Fe 3 O 4 -CS-L was successfully prepared. Batch experiments were conducted to investigate the parameters affecting the adsorption of the novel magnetic bioadsorbent to metal irons, such as adsorption isotherm and adsorption kinetics. The adsorption equilibrium was commendably described by pseudo-second-order model. Langmuir model was better than Freundlich model to describe adsorption isotherm data and the predicted maximum adsorption capacities of Zn(II), Cd(II) and Pb(II) were 256.41 mg/g, 156.99 mg/g and 128.63 mg/g, respectively. Competition adsorption results showed that the adsorption order of Fe 3 O 4 -CS-L to metal ions was Pb(II) > Zn(II) > Cd(II). Moreover, regeneration studies suggested that Fe 3 O 4 -CS-L has a good recyclability. All the results showed that Fe 3 O 4 -CS-L could be a promising material in environment pollution cleanup.

Currently, the development of highly efficient emission tunable phosphor materials is necessary for improving the lighting quality of UV light based white emitting diodes (WLEDs). Herein, a series of new blue-emitting Ca 7 (Mg, Zn) 2 P 6 O 24 : Eu 2+ (CM/ZP: Eu 2+ ) phosphors were successfully synthesized through a high temperature solid phase reaction process. Interestingly, through constructing Ca 7 (Mg, Zn) 2 P 6 O 24 : Eu 2+ solid solutions based on a complete substitution of Mg 2+ by Zn 2+ , the controllable blue-shift emission from 441 to 418 nm could be realized. This result could be attributed to the selective occupation of different Ca 2+ ions for Eu 2+ ions due to distortion of coordination polyhedron. The corresponding full width at half maximum (FWHM) exhibits a gradual narrowing from 66 to 27 nm after [Zn→Mg] replacement, and the color purity of Eu 2+ emission in Ca 7 Zn 2 P 6 O 24 (CZP) could reach 93.2%. Finally, the thermal quenching resistance of the as-prepared Ca 7 (Mg, Zn) 2 P 6 O 24 : Eu 2+ phosphors show remarkably excellent performance. Moreover, the thermal stabilities working at 150 °C of CMZP: Eu 2+ were gradually improved from 71% for CZP: Eu 2+ to 97% for CMP: Eu 2+ of original photoluminescence intensity. Generally, the cation substation induced selective occupation of Eu 2+ to control FWHM is an efficient design to achieve emission-tunable phosphors, and the developed narrow-band Ca 7 (Mg, Zn) 2 P 6 O 24 : Eu 2+ blue-emitting phosphors could serve as potential blue phosphors for WLEDs application.

Phosphate ester groups containing ricinoleic acid-based Ca/Zn (LPPRA-Ca and LPPRA-Zn) stabilizer was successfully synthesized from ricinoleic acid (RA) and used as thermal stabilizers for poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC). These thermal stabilizers were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectrometry, 1 H nuclear magnetic resonance, and inductively-coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy. The effects of LPPRA-Ca/LPPRA-Zn, CaSt 2 /ZnSt 2 , and other stabilizers on the thermal stability of PVC were studied through Congo Red test, discoloration tests, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), TGA–infrared, and TGA–mass spectrometry. The thermal stability tests show that LPPRA-Ca/LPPRA-Zn displays the best initial color stability and long-term thermal stability for PVC. The superior performance is attributed to the synergistic effect of LPPRA-Ca and LPPRA-Zn. Moreover, a lower Zinc content of LPPRA-Zn in PVC helps to decrease the “zipper dehydrochlorination” of the product, which contributes to a better initial thermal stability. Except for the better stabilization performance, LPPRA-Ca/LPPRA-Zn also displays better plasticization performance for PVC compared with other stabilizers. A possible stabilizing mechanism of PVC/LPPRA-Ca/LPPRA-Zn system was presented. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym. Sci. 2018 , 135 , 45940.

Redox electrochemical capacitors , using soluble redox couples to utilize the “dead weight” of the electrolyte to add faradaic charge, are considered as an effective strategy to increase the energy storage capacity of the electro-chemical double-layer capacitors. In this work, we report a new aqueous dual-redox electrochemical capacitor, using Zn 2+ /Zn as the anolyte and Br 3 ˉ/Brˉ as the catholyte. The electrolyte contains 1 M ZnBr 2 , 0.1 M TPABr and 2 M Zn(OTf) 2 . The theoretical voltage gap of the two redox couples is larger than 1.7 V, which is expected to be an advantage for higher specific energy. Tetrapropyl ammonium cation (TPA + ) has been used as a complex agent to solve the Br 3 ˉ cross diffusion issue. To avoid the generation of [TPA] 2 [ZnBr 4 ] precipitation, an appropriate amount of Zn(OTf) 2 has been added to the electrolyte to adjust the Zn/Br ratio. After adding these two additives, the coulombic efficiency of the dual-redox EC has been increased from 90% to 99%, and the open-circuit voltage loss (24 h) has been dropped from 31% to 5%. The newly configured Zn/OTf/TPA/Br redox EC exhibits a specific energy of 110 W h/kg at 1 A/g, a high power density (7 kW/kg) and stable cycling over 6000 cycles.

Mn–Zn ferrite (Mn 0.6 Zn 0.4 Fe 2 O 4 ) nanoparticles were synthesized using a modified sol–gel method at lower annealing temperature (minimum to 300 ℃). The experimental results and analysis indicate that these nanoparticles exhibit excellent soft magnetic properties with the ultra-high saturation magnetization ( Ms ) up to 45.1 emu/g, demonstrating the significant potential applications for biomedical industry, electronic devices, and wastewater decontamination, etc. More interestingly, Mn 0.6 Zn 0.4 Fe 2 O 4 nanoparticles exhibit unique size-dependent magnetic property, where the saturation magnetization ( Ms ) decreases with the decreasing crystalline size. Furthermore, there exists a linear proportional relationship between Ms and the reciprocal of the crystalline size (1/ D ). A novel theoretical model is subsequently proposed in the paper to elucidate the size-dependent magnetic property. Such magnetic nanoparticles composed of small-sized nanocrystalline can be analogized to a “core–shell” structure, in which the surface or interfacial state increases rapidly in proportion to the overall system. The magnetic moments are irregularly arranged in the “shell” that consists of abundant surface or interfacial states, so-called ‘magnetic disorder shell’. On the contrary, the ferrite “core” is a ferrimagnetically ordered region with a regular arrangement of magnetic moments, which is called as ‘magnetic order core’. With the decrease of crystalline size, the proportion of the ‘magnetic disorder shell’ increases. As a result, the magnetic property of the whole ferrite nanoparticle is weakened. It is believed that the present works contribute to the advancement of comprehending the correlation between the structure and property in magnetic nanoparticles.

The service life of metal and other infrastructure requires extending through eco-friendly, low-carbon technology. Here, a nacre-mimetic γ-Fe2O3/reduced graphene oxide (FrGO)/zinc-containing epoxy coating (FrGO/Zn/epoxy coating) was fabricated by spraying a mixture of waterborne epoxy resin, zinc flakes, and magnetic conductive FrGO under a magnetic field. The FrGO, which was synthesized by in situ redox and precipitation, was aligned in the zinc-containing coatings (ZCC), and it oriented the zinc flakes in the direction of the magnetic field to mimic the lamellar structure of nacre. The obtained anti-corrosion coating showed enhanced barrier protection and cathodic protection, which was confirmed by the electrochemical tests and salt spray test results. The waterborne coatings less than 50 μm thick with parallelly aligned FrGO and 30 wt % zinc flakes exhibited a long cathodic period lasting more than 99 days and excellent barrier performance with a high initial coating resistance of 5.31 × 109 Ω·cm2, which was superior to that of the conventional zinc-rich coating containing 80 wt % zinc (80 days, 3.74 × 103 Ω·cm2). The dual anti-corrosion mechanism of the waterborne FrGO/Zn/epoxy coating was investigated. The integrity and long-term cathodic protection of the coatings were derived from the compactness achieved by the nacre-mimetic structure and the interface chemical and hydrogen bonding crosslinking interactions and the high, uniform zinc utilization achieved by the aligned FrGO-Zn charge transmission network. This work provides a feasible nacre-inspired strategy to fabricate a lightweight anti-corrosion waterborne ZCC that is resource-efficient and promising in creating compact materials with other functional properties, such as electromagnetic shielding and conductive networks.

The design of defects and microstructures plays a crucial role in optimizing the electromagnetic wave (EMW) absorption performance of ferrites. However, the limited loss characteristics and simple phase structure of conventional ferrites severely hinder their further development. In this study, a series of Ni-Zn 18H hexaferrites were successfully synthesized by solid-state reaction method, and precise compositional optimization was carried out. By adjusting the concentration ratio of Ni and Zn metal ions, the effective absorption bandwidth (C to Ku band) of reflection loss can be adjusted. Notably, the Ni-Zn 18H hexaferrite with x = 1 achieved an optimal reflection loss of −33.33 dB at 6.53 GHz, with a matching thickness of 5.5 mm, and its effective absorption bandwidth extended to 2 GHz. The experimental results indicate that compositional modulation can cause substantial lattice distortion and oxygen vacancies, thereby enhancing defect-induced polarization and improving the magnetic loss performance of the material. Consequently, these structural defects contribute to achieving excellent tunable EMW absorption performance. This study, therefore, provides valuable insights into the development of waveband-tunable EMW absorbers through defect engineering.

Scaling is an ineluctable challenge facing humanity in industrial production. Although superhydrophobic coatings have been proven to possess anti-scaling effects, they are generally limited by fragile mechanochemical durability. Herein, a thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU)/polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF)/microcapsules (MCs)/nanocarbon fiber (CNF) composite coating with superhydrophobicity (water contact angle of 155°) and superoleophilicity (oil contact angle of 0°) has been successfully prepared by spraying method. The scale inhibitor of EDTA-Zn was encapsulated in polyurea@SiO 2 shell via Pickering emulsion polymerization route. Owing to the sustained release of EDTA-Zn and the shielding oil layer formed by capturing oil molecules, the prepared coating is capable of inhibiting the adhesion of CaCO 3 scale nucleation and inducing the growth of aragonite CaCO 3 scale, which is more likely to detach from the coating surface compared to calcite . Thus, in simulated oil field production fluid, the prepared coating demonstrated excellent anti-scaling property with an extremely low CaCO 3 deposited weight of 0.072 mg/cm 2 . Simultaneously, because of the stable shielding oil film on the coating surface , the prepared coating exhibited excellent corrosion resistance , with a low I corr of 7.39 × 10 −9 A/cm 2 and a corrosion rate of 8.06 × 10 −5 mm/year. In addition, the prepared coating also shown excellent mechanical durability, anti-fouling and self-cleaning qualities. We anticipate that our work will offer a new approach to the development and production of industrial anti-scaling and anti-corrosion coatings.

A highly shape-selective and relatively long-lifetime HZSM-5-based catalyst (Zn-2P/HZSM-5) was prepared by chemical modification with both ZnSiF 6 ·6H 2 O and H 3 PO 4 solution. The phosphoric acid modification could effectively modulate the Brønsted acid strength of the HZSM-5 catalyst, which promotes the oligomerization, alkylation, cyclization, and hydrogen transfer reactions. The introduction of Zn-Lewis acid sites significantly improved the dehydroaromatization of higher olefins. All of these were very beneficial for the generation of BTX (i.e. b enzene, t oluene, and x ylene) hydrocarbons in aromatization of methanol. The coke amount and the average rate of coke formation decreased over the Zn-2P/HZSM-5 catalysts, which may largely be ascribed to its lower strong acid sites and lower outer surface acidity. The catalytic performance of methanol aromatization showed that the Zn-2P/HZSM-5 catalyst exhibited the highest BTX selectivity of about 46.76% and the longest catalytic lifetime of about 498 h at T = 400 °C, P = 0.1 MPa, and weight hourly space velocity = 0.7 h −1 .
