Lithium silicate (Li 4 SiO 4 ), an efficient CO 2 high-temperature sorbent , has become the research hotspot in CO 2 capture due to its large theoretical adsorption capacity and fast rate. How to further reduce production cost while ensuring the adsorption performance has become the key to industrial application. In this work, using Al, Fe, Ti co-doped SiO 2 aerogel synthesized from fly ash as silicon source, Li 4 SiO 4 sorbents were achieved through solid-state calcination method. The influences of preparing conditions on the microstructure and CO 2 capture property were systematically investigated. Under the optimum conditions, the as-prepared Li 4 SiO 4 demonstrated the best CO 2 adsorption capacity of 33.24 wt% within 7.0 min. Particularly, the CO 2 capture capacity remained 23.38 wt% (>70% of the first value) after 35 cycles, indicative of long cycle stability. Moreover, the kinetic characteristics of CO 2 adsorption process could be well simulated by the double exponential model, and the diffusion process of Li + /O 2− ions was the decisive step of the whole adsorption reaction. Compared with Li 4 SiO 4 by pure reagents, the sorbent from fly ash-based aerogel exhibited competitive adsorption capacity, which provides a new cost-effective way to synthesize CO 2 high-temperature sorbent with super capture performance and good cycle stability.

The decommissioning of uranium tailings (UMT) is usually accompanied by uranium (U) contamination in soil, which poses a serious threat to human health and ecological security. Therefore, the remediation of uranium pollution in soil is imminent from ecological and environmental points of view. In recent years, the use of biochar stabilizers to repair uranium tailings (UMT) soil has become a research hotspot. In this study, a novel phosphorus-modified bamboo biochar (PBC) cross-linked Mg–Al layered double-hydroxide composite (PBC@LDH) was prepared. The hyperaccumulator plant Indian mustard ( Brassica juncea L.) was selected as the test plant for outdoor pot experiments, and the stabilizers were added to the UMT soil at the dosage ratio of 15 g kg −1 , which verified the bioconcentrate and translocate of U and associated heavy metal Pb in the UMT soil by Indian mustard after stabilizer remediated. The results shown that, after 50 days of growth, compared with the untreated sample (CK), the Indian mustard in PBC@LDH treatment possessed a better growth and its biomass weight of whole plant was increased by 52.7%. Meanwhile, the bioconcentration factors (BF) of U and Pb for PBC@LDH treatment were significantly decreased by 73.4% and 34.2%, respectively; and the translocation factors (TF) were also commendable reduced by 15.1% and 2.4%, respectively. Furthermore, the Tessier available forms of U and Pb in rhizosphere soil showed a remarkably decrease compared with CK, which reached by 55.97% and 14.1% after PBC@LDH stabilization, respectively. Complexation, precipitation, and reduction of functional groups released by PBC@LDH with U and Pb described the immobilization mechanisms of biochar stabilizer preventing U and Pb enrichment in Indian mustard. As well as, the formation of U-containing vesicles was prevented by the precipitation of −OH functional groups with free U and Pb ions around the cell tissue fluids and vascular bundle structure of plant roots, thereby reducing the migration risk of toxic heavy metals to above-ground parts. In conclusion, this research demonstrates that the PBC@LDH stabilizer offers a potentially effective amendment for the remediation of U contaminated soil.

The dielectric layer plays a key role in regulating electromagnetic wave broadband scattering based on meta-surface technology. Herein, the physical properties of composite powder, prepared by spray drying of CaO-B 2 O 3 -SiO 2 (CBS) glass-ceramic powder and Al 2 O 3 in different mass ratios, are systematically investigated. Meanwhile, a high enthalpy atmospheric plasma spraying equipment is utilized to prepare CBS/Al 2 O 3 composite coatings , and the morphology, physical properties and dielectric properties of the composite coating are analyzed. The XRD and DSC data of the composite coating reveal that the crystallization behavior of β-CaSiO 3 and CaB 2 O 4 gradually disappear with the increase of Al 2 O 3 content. Hence, only CaAl 2 Si 2 O 8 phase is observed during heat treatment. The experimental results confirm that the dielectric properties of CBS/Al 2 O 3 composite coating conform to the rule of mixture for composite materials. Also, the dielectric properties are affected by porosity and crystallization rate.

A new acylhydrazone fluorescent sensor ( VN62 ) with excited intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) characteristics has been designed and synthesized through condensation of o -vanillin with 6‑hydroxy-2-naphthoic hydrazide for selective detection of Al 3+ in aqueous medium. The structure of the VN62 sensor was characterized by various techniques such as 1 H and 13 C NMR and mass spectrometry, and also confirmed by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The VN62 sensor showed a remarkable fluorescence enhancement response to Al 3+ over a broad pH range in a nearly 100 % aqueous solution without interference by most of tested metal ions and anions. Through fluorescence titration and a Job's plot experiment, the binding stoichiometry of VN62 with Al 3+ was found to be 1:1. The limit of detection of VN62 toward Al 3+ was determined as 39.6 nM and the binding constant was 2.66 × 10 4 M −1 . Comprehensive analyses by HR-MS, 1 H NMR and density functional theory calculations illustrated that the VN62 sensor coordinated with Al 3+ , forming a stable trigonal bipyramid structure complex, which blocked the ESIPT and photoinduced electron transfer processes and simultaneously promoted an intramolecular charge transfer process, thereby leading to strong cyan fluorescence. Moreover, VN62 -loaded test strips were successfully applied for rapid and visual detection of Al 3+ . Furthermore, the VN62 sensor was used to visualize Al 3+ in plants and live cells. The results indicated that the VN62 sensor has great potential for detecting Al 3+ in biological systems.

A series of PtCuCeMgAl quintuple hydrotalcite-like compounds with different Ce contents were synthesized by one-pot method. After calcining and reduction, CeO 2 -modified Mg(Al)O-supported Pt–Cu alloy catalysts were obtained. To understand the effect of Cu and Ce, the structure and physico-chemistry properties of the catalysts were characterized and analyzed, and the catalytic behaviors were investigated in a direct dehydrogenation of propane to propene. The results show that the Pt 4+ , Cu 2+ , and Ce 3+ ions can be incorporated into the brucite-like layers and the Ce content significantly affects the interaction strength between Pt and Cu and the dehydrogenation performance of propane. Under the reaction conditions, the highest propane conversion (45%) with 89% selectivity to propene and a 40% propene yield were achieved with a 0.3 wt% Ce-modified PtCu/Mg(Al)O catalyst. The improved catalytic performance is related to the easy formation of Pt–Cu alloy phase, excellent resistance to sintering, and coke deposits of active components modified by CeO 2 .

Marine biofouling, resulting from the adhesion of marine organisms to ship surfaces, has long been a significant issue in the maritime industry. In this paper, we focused on utilizing soft and hydrophilic hydrogels as a potential approach for antifouling (AF) coatings. Acrylic acid (AA) with a polyelectrolyte effect and N-(3-sulfopropyl)-N-(methacryloxyethyl)-N,N-dimethylammonium betaine (SBMA) with an antipolyelectrolyte effect were selected as monomers. By adjusting the monomer ratio, we were able to create hydrogel coatings that exhibited low swelling ratio in both fresh water and seawater. The Al(OH)3 nanoparticle, as a physical cross-linker, provided better mechanical properties (higher tensile strength and larger elongation at break) than the chemical cross-linker through the dynamic coordination bonds and plentiful hydrogen bonds. Additionally, we incorporated trehalose into the hydrogel, enabling the repair of the hydrogel network through covalent-like hydrogen bonding. The zwitterion compound SBMA endowed the hydrogel with excellent AF performance. It was found that the highest SBMA content did not lead to the best antibacterial performance, as bacterial adhesion quantity was also influenced by the charge of the hydrogel. The hydrogel with appropriate SBMA content being close to electrical neutrality exhibits the strongest zwitterionic property of PSBMA chains, resulting in the best antibacterial adhesion performance. Furthermore, the pronounced hydrophilicity of SBMA enhanced the lubrication of the hydrogel surface, thereby reducing the friction resistance when applied to the hull surface during ship navigation.

Zinc-air batteries (ZABs) exhibit exceptional energy density and inherent safety yet necessitate cost-effective and stable catalysts to bolster the cathode oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). This work presents a nitrogen-doped porous carbon (NPC) structure with highly dispersed aluminum-based active sites that demonstrate remarkable performance in ORR catalysis. Advanced analytical tools, including time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS), confirm the presence of Al-N4-N motifs with axial N-ligands, significantly augmenting catalytic efficiency. In-situ surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) reveals the rate-limiting step to be the initial proton-coupled electron transfer process, evidenced by the delayed emergence of the ∗OOH band compared to the ∗O 2 band. High-resolution scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM) is employed to decipher the local reactivity distribution across varying potentials and temperatures, elucidating the electrochemical characteristics. Incorporating this synthesized material as the cathode in a liquid-state ZAB yields a capacity of 750 mAh g −1 and a power density of 144 mW cm −2 , alongside commendable cyclic stability. Furthermore, the constructed all-solid-state ZAB demonstrates outstanding cycling stability under diverse bending conditions, emphasizing its robustness and potential for flexible energy storage applications. This work represents a significant advancement in the field, paving the way for the development of more efficient, reliable, and cost-effective ZAB technologies.

Efficient production of dimethyl carbonate (DMC) from methyl nitrite (MN) carbonylation based on PdCu/NaY zeolite catalysts is highly desired for industrial applications. The introduction of boron species into the initial gels of NaY synthesis is a cost-effective modification strategy for boosting the catalytic performance. It not only introduces trace amounts of framework boron but also regulates the distribution of framework aluminum (Al F ) species. Most importantly, the synergistic effect of framework boron and Al-rich region significantly enhanced the metal − support interaction, thus promoting more electrons to be transferred from metal to support. This strategy allows the palladium active species to remain in an electron-deficient state more easily. The carbon monoxide (CO) adsorption and the critical intermediate species *CH 3 COO are more easily formatted on PdCu/NaBY catalyst, which leads to superior weight-time yields (WTY DMC up to 1507·g·kg cat − 1 ·h − 1 ), and CO conversion to DMC (C CO up to 83 %). Our design is of great importance for developing metal-zeolites catalysts, which motivates the industrial application of Pd-based catalysts in the MN carbonation of DMC field.

Reasonable construction of low migration energy barrier and continuous proton transfer channel is the key to improving the performance of composite proton exchange membranes. In this paper, we prepared a novel bimetallic MOFs (MIL-(Cr Al)–NH 2 ) nanofibers (MCANs) consisting of Cr and Al elements by electro-blown spinning method (EBS) and hydrothermal synthesis, and subsequently introduced them into non-fluorinated sulfonic acid polymer sulfonated polysulfone (SPSF) matrix to obtain composite proton exchange membranes (MCANs@SPSF). Importantly, MCANs successfully constructed relatively long-range continuous unsaturated metal site proton transfer channels provided by the Cr-based MOFs, thereby reducing the proton migration energy barrier in the MCANs@SPSF, which confirmed by the density functional theory (DFT) calculation. In detail, DFT studies indicated that the migration energy barrier between H + and MCANs was 1.677 eV, while that of single Al-based MOF (MAN) and single Cr-based MOF (MCN) were 1.879 eV and 1.762 eV respectively. The existence of efficient low migration energy barrier and continuous proton transfer channels made the proton conduction efficiency of MCANs@SPSF greatly improved, that was under the condition of 80 °C and 100 % RH, the proton conductivity of MCANs@SPSF reached the maximum value of 0.358 S cm −1 and the power density reached 104 mW cm −2 . Moreover, MCANs@SPSF-5 displayed best DMFC durability performance with only 14.65 % voltage loss under 24h test. In addition, due to the acid-base pair interaction between MCANs and SPSF enhanced the interface binding force between the two phases, meanwhile, the pore structure of MOFs also had a certain adsorption effect on methanol, thus reducing the methanol permeability, and the addition of 5 wt% MCANs in SPSF was tested to reduce the methanol permeability to 5.53 × 10 -7 cm 2 s −1 . Overall, this work provided a new strategy for construction of low migration energy barrier and continuous proton transfer channels, which was beneficial for the development of high performance proton exchange membranes.

In this study, a novel monolithic capillary column based on a NH2-MIL-53(Al) metal–organic framework (MOF) incorporated in poly (3-acrylamidophenylboronic acid/methacrylic acid-co-ethylene glycol dimethacrylate) (poly (AAPBA/MAA-co-EGDMA)) was prepared using an in situ polymerization method. The characteristics of the MOF-polymer monolithic column were investigated by scanning electron microscopy, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, X-ray diffractometry, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller analysis, and thermogravimetric analysis. The prepared MOF-polymer monolithic column showed good permeability, high extraction efficiency, chemical stability, and good reproducibility. The MOF-polymer monolithic column was used for in-tube solid-phase microextraction (SPME) to efficiently adsorb trace sulfonamides from food samples. A novel method combining MOF-polymer-monolithic-column-based SPME with ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS) was successfully developed. The linear range was from 0.015 to 25.0 µg/L, with low limits of detection of 1.3–4.7 ng/L and relative standard deviations (RSDs) of < 6.1%. Eight trace sulfonamides in fish and chicken samples were determined, with recoveries of the eight analytes ranging from 85.7% to 113% and acceptable RSDs of < 7.3%. These results demonstrate that the novel MOF-polymer-monolithic-column-based SPME coupled with UHPLC-MS/MS is a highly sensitive, practical, and convenient method for monitoring trace sulfonamides in food samples previously extracted with an adequate solvent.Keywords:monolithic capillary column;metal-organic framework;sulfonamides;solid-phase microextraction;ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry

Al-ion batteries (AIBs) represent promising multivalent-ion battery alternatives to Li-ion batteries (LIBs). Exploration of cathode materials is the key to improving the electrochemical performance of AIBs. Here we demonstrate a promising AIB cathode candidate based on two-dimensional graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) nanosheets with reversible de/embedding of [AlCl4]− anions in its special layered porous structure during the cyclic charge/discharge process. To address the sluggish ion/charge transportation kinetics that is inherently present in AIBs due to the intrinsically low conductivity of g-C3N4, we optimize different synthetic precursors of g-C3N4 including dicyandiamide, urea, and melamine and, further, develop a facile method for uniformly coating a N-doped carbon (N–C) coating layer on the optimal g-C3N4 derived from dicyandiamide. The resultant AIBs consisting of the g-C3N4@N–C cathode and Al metal anode in the AlCl3/[EMIm]Cl electrolyte exhibit an initial capacity of ∼54.9 mAh·g–1 at 0.2 C with a high Coulomb efficiency ∼99.9%, and they possess long-term cycling over 200 cycles. The underlying charge/discharge process of AIBs, revealed by the ex situ X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy analyses, involves the extraction/insertion of Al species (mainly Al3+, AlCl4–, and Al2Cl7–) into the g-C3N4 crystal lattices with the formation of intermediate Al8C3N4 and (ClCN)3.

The photocatalytic performance of Ag 3 PO 4 is severely restricted by the photocorrosion and high charge carrier recombination rate. In order to overcome these defects, a novel Ag 3 PO 4 /calcined Zn-Al layered double hydroxides (APMO) heterostructure photocatalyst was fabricated via in-situ growth of Ag 3 PO 4 particles on the surface of calcined Zn-Al layered double hydroxides (MMO). The crystal structures, morphologies, optical and photoelectrochemical properties of the as-synthesized samples were characterized using various techniques, and its photocatalytic activity for tetracycline (TC) degradation was evaluated under simulated solar light irradiation. Obviously, all the APMO composites demonstrated much higher photocatalytic performances for TC degradation than pure Ag 3 PO 4 . Especially, the APMO70 showed the highest photocatalytic activity, which was almost about 49.3 times as high as that of pure Ag 3 PO 4 , and the degradation efficiency was still above 89% after 5 cycles. The improved photocatalytic performance and stability of APMO were ascribed to the efficient charge transfer and strong interfacial contact between Ag 3 PO 4 and MMO. The possible photocatalytic mechanisms involving the charge transfer pathway and reactive species generation during the process of TC degradation were also discussed. Finally, the aquatic toxicity of TC was assessed using Chlorella vulgaris ( C. vulgaris ) as an ecological indicator, and the result suggested that the as-prepared APMO composite can effectively diminish the aquatic toxicity of TC.
