The adsorption separation of volatile organic compounds affords an efficient potential solution to address VOC emission. In this work, we reported alkaline sites-modified biomass-carbon adsorbents through in situ implanting MgO for reinforcing the adsorption abatement of polar VOCs. We revealed that the dispersed MgO alkaline sites in situ formed over the activated carbon during the KOH activation process by placing the magnesium acetate and KOH into grapefruit peel-based biochar together, which avoids the repeated postmodification. By tuning the mass proportion of Mg precursor and KOH activator, the optimized loading of magnesium oxide in AC was explored and compared with the MgO post-modified AC using a two-step procedure. The physicochemical properties of MgO-modified AC were characterized by various techniques. Impressively, MgO occupied a higher surface formation ratio (82.6%) in whole Mg species of the in-situ synthesized 10MgO/C compared to that (51.4%) in postimpregnated 10MgO/C-P. The adsorption properties of polar acetic acid and nonpolar benzene over the above comparative adsorbents were systematically studied by the gas-static adsorption method. The results revealed that the optimal sample of 10MgO/C afforded excellent structural properties (S BET = 2646 m 2 g −1 , V total = 1.59 cm 3 g −1 ) and a large adsorption capacity of polar acetic acid reaching 16.64 mmol g −1 at 30 °C. More importantly, compared to unmodified and nitrogen-doped AC, 10MgO/C showed improved acetic acid adsorption capacity, reversible desorption behavior, and lower adsorption heat. The calculation of Ideal Adsorption Solution Theory (IAST) for selective adsorption separation of the CH 3 COOH/C 6 H 6 binary mixture(50/50) over 10MgO/C showed the highest selectivity (3.42). This work offers new insight into the in-situ modification of AC and polar VOCs selective adsorption separation.

CO 2 capture and sequestration is one of the viable solutions to reduce the CO 2 emissions from fossil fuel combustion, and sorption-enhanced water gas shift (SEWGS) is a promising technology for pre-combustion CO 2 capture. In this study, a novel alkali metal salt (AMS)-promoted MgO-CaCO 3 sorbent was applied to the SEWGS process, and this sorbent exhibited fast sorption rate, high capacity and good stability in 30 CO 2 capture cycles. Catalyst and sorbent particles were arranged in a layer-by-layer alternating configuration in the reactor. The effects of operating conditions such as temperature, pressure and initial H 2 O/CO molar ratio were investigated, and the thermodynamic equilibrium analyses of the CO 2 sorption on AMS-promoted MgO-CaCO 3 and the SEWGS process in the layered configuration were carried out, based on which the optimization of the reactor configuration was performed. A high-purity H 2 (99.4% in dry basis) was experimentally achieved in the SEWGS process at 573 K, 12 atm and an initial H 2 O/CO molar ratio of 1.5 with a three catalyst/sorbent layered configuration, and the cyclic stability was demonstrated over 10 consecutive SEWGS cycles.

Y 2 O 3 MgO composites have emerged as promising mid-infrared (MIR) materials owing to their exceptional broadband transmittance and remarkable thermal stability at elevated temperatures. Nevertheless, the presence of uncontrollable absorption bands within the 4–7 μm spectral range, compromises their optical performance in advanced MIR systems. To address this limitation, we systematically investigated annealing as a strategic approach for modulating defect chemistry in oxide composites. In this paper, the absorption peaks of Y 2 O 3 MgO composites were controlled by varying the annealing conditions. As the annealing temperature increases from 600 °C to 1100 °C, the absorption peaks of Y 2 O 3 MgO composites gradually shift from ∼4.9 μm to ∼6.8 μm, with a transition temperature ∼900°C. This behavior is attributed to the oxidation of metal-organic coordination (MOC) to CO 3 2- in high-temperature air. Ultimately, Y 2 O 3 MgO composites featuring controllable absorption peaks were obtained, demonstrating a transmittance of ∼81 % at 7 μm - the highest value ever reported for this composite system, which broadens the potential application space, particularly in fields requiring mid-infrared transparency such as gas detection, materials characterization, and biomedical imaging. This study not only elucidates specific strategies for enhancing the performance and microstructure of Y 2 O 3 MgO composites but also furnishes reliable methodologies and datasets to support the annealing processes of other material systems.

Sorption-enhanced steam reforming of methanol (SE-SRM) offers a promising route for high-quality hydrogen production with in situ CO 2 capture; however, achieving an optimal balance between catalytic activity and CO 2 uptake capability, while ensuring catalyst stability, remains a significant challenge. In this study, a series of Zr-doped (0 wt%, 5 wt%, 15 wt%, 25 wt%) Cu-MgO catalytic sorbents are synthesized for SE-SRM. At 180℃, the hydrogen concentration and yield reach nearly 100 % and 10.35 μmol·g −1 ·s −1 . Moreover, the catalytic sorbent basically retains its catalytic activity and CO 2 uptake capacity after 30 cycles with merely slight deactivation. Results demonstrate that the doped Zr, presents as tetragonal ZrO 2 , enhances metal-support interactions with the formation of a Cu-O-Zr interfacial structure, promoting Cu nanocluster dispersion and altering the Cu + /Cu 0 distributions. Zr doping also enables the modulation of the medium-strong basic sites. Moreover, the AFM and TEM confirmed the formation of high-roughness MgO surface on the substrate, thereby facilitating CO 2 diffusion and adsorption. DFT calculation results further confirm the advantages of Zr-doped Cu-MgO catalytic sorbents due to its stronger capability on CH 3 OH activation and CO 2 adsorption.

Gas-phase dehydrocyclization of biomass-derived 1,4-butanediol (BDO) to γ-butyrolactone (GBL) is a sustainable and environmentally friendly process conducted at atmospheric pressure. In the present work, a series of 15Cu/xMgO-yCeO 2 catalysts with different MgO: CeO 2 ratios were prepared by the ammonia vaporization method. The gas-phase dehydrocyclization of BDO to GBL was carried out over these Cu-based catalysts synthesized in a fixed-bed reactor. The physicochemical properties of the catalysts were investigated by XRD, SEM, TEM, FTIR, N 2 isothermal adsorption–desorption, H 2 -TPR, CO 2 -TPD, Raman, XPS, and EPR. The results indicated that the 15Cu/10MgO-90CeO 2 catalyst exhibited a smaller particle size, higher specific surface area, and increased oxygen vacancies than the 15Cu/CeO 2 catalyst. Operating conditions of 240 °C reaction temperature, 2.4 mL/h space velocity, and 98.92 % GBL yield from BDO dehydrogenation were achieved under 40 mL/min N 2 flow for 4 h. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations confirmed that the 15Cu/10MgO-90CeO 2 catalyst with more oxygen vacancies was more favorable for the adsorption and activation of BDO on the catalyst surface than 15Cu/CeO 2 , and its higher catalytic activity was attributed to the synergistic interaction between Cu + and oxygen vacancies on the catalyst surface.

Currently existing Fenton-like catalysts were limited in wastewater treatment owing to their potential transition-metal poisoning, narrow applicable pH range and high dependence on external energy excitation. In this work, the MgNCN/MgO nanocomposites were firstly synthesized by a facile one-pot calcination of melamine and basic magnesium carbonate, and used as novel H 2 O 2 activator for antibiotic removal. It was found that the MgNCN/MgO composite calcined at 550°C with the mass ratio of melamine to basic magnesium carbonate at 2:1, exhibited an excellent catalytic ability to tetracycline (TC) degradation in a wide pH range of 4-10 without any external energy input. More than 90% of TC (100 mL, 50 mg/L) could be degraded within 30 min by 10 mg of the nanocomposite in the presence of 0.2 mL of 30 wt% H 2 O 2 . Based on the experimental results, it was concluded that the Mg-N coordination between MgNCN and MgO in MgNCN/MgO nanocomposites activated H 2 O 2 to produce primary singlet oxygen ( 1 O 2 ) and minor hydroxyl radicals (·OH), responding for TC degradation. In addition, the degradation pathways of TC were deduced by determining the generated intermediates during the degradation process. This work provided a novel idea for designing transition-metal-free catalysts for nonradical activation of H 2 O 2 in the absence of external energy excitation.

A novel photoelectrocatalytic (PEC) system consisting of S-scheme MgO/g-C 3 N 4 photoanode and modified carbon felt (MCF) cathode was designed for efficient degradation of tetracycline , in which photoanode had both efficient photocatalytic performance and activation of H 2 O 2 produced by the MCF cathode. After 30 min of LED irradiation, the PEC system could completely remove tetracycline at cathodic bias of −0.5 V (vs. Ag/AgCl), and the degradation rate constants were 5.3 and 1.5 times that of electrocatalysis and photocatalysis . The charge transfer mechanism of S-scheme MgO/g-C 3 N 4 was verified by experimental studies and DFT calculations. Mg-N coordination was the key to activate H 2 O 2 to produce singlet oxygen ( 1 O 2 ) and hydroxyl radicals ( • OH). The PEC system had excellent degradation performance at pH ranges 4–10, which solved the bottleneck that Fenton system is effective at narrow pH range. This study provides new ideas for preparation of bifunctional photoanodes and new insights into the PEC process.

Polymer dielectric materials are attracting wide focus in electronics, but their low energy density limits miniaturization and intelligent application. In recent years, the sandwich-structured has offered an ideal way to enhance the energy storage performance of polymer materials. In this work, the symmetrically sandwich composite dielectrics were prepared, containing an outer layer of poly (vinylidene fluoride-trifluoro ethylene chlorofluoride)@titanium dioxide (P (VDF-TrFE-CFE)@TiO 2 ) and an inner layer of poly (methyl methacrylate)@magnesium oxide (PMMA@MgO). The sandwich structure can combine the advantages of the excellent breakdown strength of PMMA and the superior polarization strength of P (VDF-TrFE-CFE). Moreover, TiO 2 with a high dielectric constant further improves the polarization strength, and the insulation performance enhances by MgO with a large band gap. The experimental results show that 0.5–1–0.5 sandwich composite dielectric has the most excellent breakdown strength of 633.8 kV/mm, and a discharge energy density of 17.16 J/cm 3 with an efficiency of 70.1%. This work offers experimental guidance for the development of outstanding energy storage performance of polymer dielectric capacitors.

The spinel and pseudobrookite type ceramic materials have been widely used in different industries including ceramics, refractory and metallurgy. Therefore, their physicochemical properties are important for the development of related processes. In this regard, it is important to understand the formation principles of the spinel and pseudobrookite solid solutions. In the present work, the equilibrium phase relations for the MgO-Al 2 O 3 -TiO 2 system at 1700°C in air were experimentally determined by high-temperature equilibration-quenching technique followed by XRD and SEM–EDS analyses. The pseudobrookite solid solution was found to be coexisting with spinel solid solution and rutile phase, respectively. The composition evolution and formation principles of the pseudobrookite and spinel solid solutions were further elucidated from the corresponding crystal structures and composition relations. Furthermore, great discrepancies were observed when the 1700°C isotherm from the present work was compared with the isotherm simulated by FactSage 8.1. The evolution of the solid solution existing area was intuitively presented with reference to the experimental data from the literature. The results from present work are important for the development of spinel and pseudobrookite solid solution ceramics as well as the optimization of the thermodynamic database for oxide systems.

Thermochemical energy storage (TCES) is a promising energy storage method because of its high energy storage density and long-term storage ability. The reactor is the most critical part of the TCES system, and the fluidized bed reactor (FBR) is a novel reactor, which is not restricted by the low effective thermal conductivity of energy storage materials. However, there is little theoretical guidance about the design and operation of the FBR for a TCES system. In this study, we investigated the performance of an FBR using MgO/Mg(OH) 2 as reaction materials by establishing a numerical model followed by experimental validation. The influence of operating parameters on the bed temperature was discussed based on numerical results. According to the sensitivity analysis, the reactor inner diameter, material mass, and inlet gas velocity were the main factors affecting the bed temperature. The optimal boundary surface temperature was analyzed, which influences the proportion of TCES in the total heat storage.

MgO/Graphene ceramic composites were fabricated by combining combustion synthesis with spark plasma sintering. MgO/Graphene mixture powders were prepared by the combustion reaction between Mg powders and CO2 gas. Dense MgO/Graphene composites were fabricated by spark plasma sintering (SPS) using LiF as the sintering additive. The effect of the sintering temperature on microstructure and mechanical properties of the prepared MgO/Graphene ceramics was discussed. The sintering temperature of the MgO/Graphene mixture powders increased from 900°C to 1300°C. The highest density of 3.43g/cm3 and hardness of 2133MPa were obtained at 1100°C. Compared with monolithic MgO ceramics, the hardness of MgO/Graphene ceramics at the same sintering temperature was increased from 840MPa to 2133MPa.

Non-stoichiometric MgO·1.8Al 2 O 3 spinel transparent ceramic was prepared from synthesized single phase powder through an aqueous gel-casting forming technique. In order to prevent hydrolysis, the powder was specially treated in toluene with stearic acid and then dispersed in an aqueous solution with the help of amphoteric compound Tween 80 and dispersant TMAH. The surface modification process was confirmed by various techniques such as Fourier transmission infrared absorption spectroscopy (FT-IR), pH value, zeta potentials and rheological properties. Afterwards, gel-casted green compacts were debinded, pressureless-sintered (PS) and hot-isostatic-pressed (HIP). Highly transparent MgO·1.8Al 2 O 3 ceramics (3.6 mm in thickness) with in-line transmittance values of 77–82 % in visible region and higher than 85% in near infrared region were obtained.
