Transition metal carboxylates with O- and N-donor ligands are interesting for their structural features. Seven novel isonicotinamide(inic)-based metal complexes of [Cd(inic)2(L1)2(H2O)2] · 2H2O (1) (L1 = 2-chloronicotinate), [Cd(inic)2(L2)2(H2O)2] (2) (L2 = 2,4-dichlorobenzoate), [Cu(inic)2(L3)2] (3) (L3 = 4-chlorophenoxyacetate), [Cu3(inic)6(L4)2(HL4)2(H2O)2] · 2H2O (4) (L4 = azelate), [Zn(inic)2(L1)2(H2O)2] · (inic) · H2O (5), [Zn(inic)(L5)(H2O)4] (6) (L5 = 3-nitrophthalate) and [Zn2(inic)2(L6)2] · 5H2O (7) (L6 = 1,4-cyclohexanedicarboxylate) have been obtained by the introduction of the carboxylates by the common solution method and are structurally featured by different techniques of EA, IR spectra, TG and SCXRD analysis. The X-ray studies told that these complexes display mononuclear to trinuclear structures with octahedral/square-pyramidal geometry around the Zn2+, trigonal bipyramidal/octahedral at the Cu2+ and octahedral for the Cd2+. The inic in 1–7 are coordinated only in monodentate fashion with its ring N, while 5 has the lattice inic. The carboxylates coordinated to the metal in monodentate, chelating bidentate and bridging bidentate fashions. The pair of complementary N-H···O H-bonds from the CONH2 of the inic were found in all compounds except 7. Except 1 and 2, all other compounds bear the CH-O contacts from the pyridine CH of the inic. The intricate intra- and intermolecular classical H-bonds, CH-N, CH-O, CH-Cl, CH2-O, O-N, O-O, Cl-O, Cl-Cl, CH-π, CH2-π, C-π, N-π, Cl-π and π-π associations are elucidated by the X-ray crystallographic studies, which push the discrete complexes into high-dimensional ordered supramolecular structures.

Magnesium (Mg) alloys can be regarded as the most promising biodegradable implant materials for orthopedic and stent applications due to their good biocompatibility and low Young's modulus which is near to that of natural bone. However, its applicability is hindered because it exhibits a high corrosion rate in the physiological environments. In this work, we fabricated Mg 66 Zn 30 Ca 4 /Fe bulk metallic glass composites via spark plasma sintering (SPS). We studied the influence of different contents of Fe on the properties of the composites. The results indicated that Fe was uniformly distributed on the surface of Mg 66 Zn 30 Ca 4 metallic glass (MG) as a second phase, which led to an improvement in the corrosion resistance and mechanical strength. The standard potential of Mg 66 Zn 30 Ca 4 /Fe bulk metallic glass (BMG) composites increased as compared to Mg 66 Zn 30 Ca 4 , while their mechanical strength improved from 355 MPa to 616 MPa. Furthermore, cytotoxicity was investigated via the CCK-8 assay and calcein-AM staining, which revealed that the extraction mediums diluted 6 times (EM × 6) of the Mg 66 Zn 30 Ca 4 and Mg 66 Zn 30 Ca 4 /Fe did not cause cell toxicity on day 3 and 5, while the EM × 6 of the Mg 66 Zn 30 Ca 4 showed cytotoxicity on day 1, 3 and 5. Thus, Mg 66 Zn 30 Ca 4 /Fe BMG composites exhibit significant potential for fabricating implants with good mechanical strength and corrosion resistance.

Aqueous rechargeable batteries have promising application in large-scale energy storage owing to their cost-effective, eco-friendly, high safety and good electrochemical performance. An aqueous rechargeable hybrid sodium/zinc battery with Zn anode, Na 3 MnTi(PO 4 ) 3 cathode and 0.5 mol L -1 CH 3 COONa and Zn(CH 3 COO) 2 mixed electrolyte has been designed for the first time. The battery delivered a reversible and stable capacity of 95.0 mAh g −1 at 1.5 C for 50 cycles with a high and flat working voltage of 1.75 V vs. Zn 2+ /Zn. Impressively, the battery showed the excellent cycling performance and superior rate capability, which can be cycled at 10.0 C for 2000 cycles with a capacity retention of 93.6% and a reversible capacity of 55.6 mAh g −1 at 30.0 C. Meanwhile, the co-intercalation mechanism of hybrid Na + and Zn 2+ in the cathode is elucidated by cyclic voltammogram, ex-situ XRD, ex-situ XPS and Rietveld refinement analysis. This work gets insight into the charge/discharge processes of hybrid ions for NASICON-structured Na 3 MnTi(PO 4 ) 3 , providing a feasible way to design cost-effective, high safety and long-term aqueous rechargeable batteries.

Low conductivity and slow reaction kinetics are partly responsible limiting the sensing performance of metal-organic-framework (MOF) derived metal oxides, which can be overcome by rational composition and novel microstructural design. In this study, hollow dandelion-like Ce-Zn MOF/reduced graphene oxide (rGO) nanosheets precursor were synthesized by solvothermal reaction and the precursor was annealed to obtain CeO 2 -ZnO/rGO (CZO/rGO). The effects of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), rGO and annealing temperature on its morphology and sensing properties were investigated. The unique morphology of CeO 2 -ZnO provides abundant active sites and large specific surface areas which can improve the ion diffusion efficiency, and the high conductivity of rGO reduces the interfacial resistance and improves the electron transfer rate. The optimized CZO/rGO/ITO electrode achieves a high sensitivity of 17.67 μA·μM -1 ·cm -2 and a limit of detection of 2.1 nM (S/ N = 3) for dopamine (DA) detection. This study broadens the application of MOF derivatives in DA sensing.

Herein, a novel MoO 3 /Zn–Al LDHs composite photocatalyst was successfully prepared. Morphology, chemical composition, and photoelectrochemical properties of the prepared catalyst were explored by different characterization methods, including X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Brunauer Emmett-Teller (BET), UV–Vis diffuse reflectance spectrometry (DRS) and Electron Spin Resonance (ESR). Using tetracycline as a target pollutant, the photocatalytic activity of MoO 3 (10 wt%)/Zn–Al LDHs composite was tested by photodegradation of tetracycline under visible light irradiation. The experimental results indicate that the MoO 3 (10 wt%)/Zn–Al LDHs composite exhibited higher photocatalytic removal efficiency than pure Zn–Al LDHs and MoO 3 . The removal efficiency of TC in 60 min could reach 90.5%. It was confirmed that the optimal conditions were a catalyst dosage of 1.0 g/L, an initial pH of 9, and an initial concentration of TC of 40 mg/L. In addition, a possible mechanism for the photodegradation of TC with MoO 3 (10 wt%)/Zn–Al LDHs composite was proposed. The introduction of MoO 3 facilitates the separation of electron-hole pairs. It could be seen that the MoO 3 (10 wt%)/Zn–Al LDHs composite has great application prospects for the treatment of antibiotic wastewater.

In this study, the performance of low-temperature sintered Bi-B-Si-Zn-Al glass/SiC composites by vacuum hot-press sintering between 700°C and 1000°C was investigated. The specimen had a relatively preferable density of 95.5% and thermal conductivity of 8.660 Wm−1K−1 after sintering at 900°C for 2 h. The dielectric constant and dielectric loss tangle of the composite were 32.9 and 0.57 at 20 GHz, respectively. The XRD analysis indicated the formation of Bi, Zn and ZnAl2O4 crystals, and the microstructure showed the low contact angle of the glass and SiC grain. Such low-temperature sintered SiC ceramic may have a promising application in the electronic field.

In this work, Zn-Ni co-modified LiMg 0.9 Zn 0.1- x Ni x PO 4 ( x = 0–0.1) microwave dielectric ceramics were fabricated using a solid state synthesis route. Rietveld refinement of the XRD data revealed that all ceramic samples have formed a single phase with olivine structure. SEM images showed that the samples have a dense microstructure, that agrees with the measured relative density of 97.73 %. Based on the complex chemical bond theory, Raman and infrared reflectance spectra, we postulate that ε r is mainly affected by the ionic polarizability, lattice and bond energy, while P-O bond plays a decisive role in Q×f and τ f value. Optimum properties of Q×f ~ 153,500 GHz, ε r ~ 7.13 and τ f ~ −59 ppm/°C were achieved for the composition LiMg 0.9 Zn 0.06 Ni 0.04 PO 4 sintered at 875 ℃ for 2 h. This set of properties makes these ceramics an excellent candidate for LTCC , wave-guide filters and antennas for 5 G/6 G communication applications.

Catalytic cracking of fatty acid methyl esters (biodiesel) is an attractive alternative to petroleum processing to produce valuable and versatile aromatics over the Zn-modified HZSM-5(25) catalysts. The catalysts with a Zn loading amount of 0–2.6 wt % were prepared and characterized. The introduction of Zn species presented great effects on the textural property and acidity of the parent HZSM-5(25) zeolite, and the chemical state of Zn species was heavily dependent on the amount of Zn loading. The strong Brönsted acid sites on the 0.5% Zn/HZSM-5(25) catalyst were exchanged by Zn species and formed new Zn-Lewis acid sites, which were identified as [ZnOH]+ and Zn2+ species. These Zn species greatly enhanced the dehydrogenation activation of alkanes to form more alkenes. Besides, they also promoted the further dehydrogenation reactions during aromatization of alkenes, thus improving the formation of H2 (>4 wt %) and increasing the production of aromatics (>40 wt %). The dominant components in the organic liquid product were monocyclic aromatics including benzene, toluene, and xylenes. Moreover, the 0.5% Zn/HZSM-5(25) catalyst exhibited an excellent stability, adaptability, and regeneration.

Underwater blue-emitting X-ray scintillator is important for the resource exploration and communication in deep sea, but remains a significant challenge for perovskites. Herein, we proposed a universal Pb 2+ -doping strategy toward a family of stable 0D Zn halide A n ZnBr 4 realizing highly efficient blue-emitting scintillation. First-principles calculations indicate that doped-Pb 2+ introduced extremely narrow impurity bands, which prompt more carriers into conduction bands, leading to near-unity PLQY. Meanwhile, these halides can withstand complex aqueous solutions containing various chemical substances in wide pH range (1–14) demonstrating ultrahigh water-resistance stabilities. More significantly, these halides exhibit satisfactory scintillation and imaging performance with highest light yield (31,500 photons MeV −1 ), low detection limit (141.2 n Gy air s −1 ) and large spatial resolution (15.10 lp/mm), ranking among the top-performing Zn halide scintillators reported to date. The high water-resistance stabilities and satisfactory scintillation performance endow these halides advanced underwater X-ray imaging. This work not only provides a universal strategy to explore highly-efficient blue-emitting perovskite scintillators, but also realizes application of high-resolution X-ray imaging in underwater environment.

A new type of composite nanoparticles (CNPs) was prepared by loading a typical inhibitor 1-hydroxybenzotriazole (HOBT) for corrosion protection of copper alloy in mesoporous silica nano-containers. The release kinetics of HOBT from CNPs in 3.5% NaCl solution was in conformity with the first order kinetic model. The open circuit potential monitoring, the morphology observation and the scanning Kelvin probe measurement of the Cu-Zn alloy in 3.5% NaCl solution with CNPs proved that a uniformly protective film was formed on the surface. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy was employed to analyse the corrosion inhibition process of CNPs on the Cu-Zn alloy.

Zn–air battery is a promising energy conversion and storage technique because of its high specific energy density; however, the sluggish oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in the cathode decreases its efficiency, thus hindering its practical application. Therefore, highly efficient electrocatalysts are required for ORR and Zn–air batteries. Herein, Co-SrCO3/N-doped carbon (NC) hybrid electrocatalysts were developed through the pyrolysis of a bimetal precursor (Co, Sr). The hybrid electrocatalysts with core–shell configuration include the outer NC shells and the inner inorganic nanoparticles (SrCO3 with surface SrO and metallic Co). The outer NC shells had direct contributions to the ORR processes, whereas the inner inorganic nanoparticles had indirect contributions, both of which were investigated in detail, especially the important roles of SrCO3 with surface SrO. Together with high surface content of doped N, high charge transfer efficiency, high BET surface area, and greater surface SrO of SrCO3, the optimized Co-SrCO3/NC-600 possesses high ORR activity, high selectivity of the apparent 4e− pathway, and excellent durability. The Zn–air battery with Co-SrCO3/NC-600 also shows high battery performance. This study provides a new protocol for developing highly efficient electrocatalysts for the ORR and Zn–air batteries, through using alkaline earth metal based materials.

The practical deployment of aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) in large-scale energy storage applications is hampered by short cycle lifespans and limited zinc utilization due to uncontrollable dendrite growth and water-induced side reactions. Herein, we propose an environmentally friendly electrolyte additive, 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid (AMPS), which features dual zincophilic sites and a hydrophobic group, to enhance Zn stability. Theoretical calculations and experimental characterizations demonstrate that AMPS can firmly adsorb onto the Zn (0 0 2) plane through its dual zincophilic sites ( SO 3 H and NH CO), while the C C hydrophobic group orients toward the electrolyte, ultimately forming a stable zincophilic/hydrophobic interface on the Zn electrode in situ. This unique structure not only inhibits water-induced side hydrogen evolution reactions but also induces preferential deposit propagation along the (0 0 2) crystal plane. Benefiting from this synergetic effect, the Zn//Cu asymmetric cell with AMPS electrolyte maintains an ultrahigh average coulombic efficiency of 99.8 % for over 2500 cycles at 2 mA cm −2 , achieving 1 mAh cm −2 . Furthermore, the Zn//MnO 2 full cell shows a high-capacity retention of 67.7 % at 1.8 A g −1 after 1000 cycles, confirming the effectiveness of the AMPS additive in improving the cyclability and performance of AZIBs.
