The ingenious synthesis strategies have been highly desired to construct hybrid composites with intriguing properties for supercapacitors . Herein, Ni-Al LDH (layered double hydroxide)/NNDG (nitramine-N-doped graphene) hybrid composites with a layered structure were fabricated via a novel self-assembly process. Nitramine-N dopants anchored to graphene framework allow the self-immobilization of delaminated Ni-Al LDH nanolayers onto the surface of two-dimensional carbonaceous scaffolds and boost the abundance of Ni 3+ within hybrid composites along with the removal of interlayer anions within Ni-Al LDH-NO 3 . Remarkably, the combination of Ni-Al LDH with NNDG can not only enhance the utilization of electrochemically active matrixes in dependence on the increase of electrolyte accessible active sites, but also maximize the electrochemically active contact between inorganic macromolecules and carbonaceous matrixes in favor of the establishment of conductive architectures. Furthermore, Ni-Al LDH/NNDG hybrid composites achieve a specific capacity of 975 C g −1 at a specific current of 1.0 A g −1 with a capacity retention of 75% as the increase of specific currents to 10 A g −1 , superior to Ni-Al LDH-NO 3 and Ni-Al LDH/rGO hybrid composites. The hybrid supercapacitor comprised of Ni-Al LDH/NNDG hybrid composites as a positive electrode and activated carbon as a negative electrode attains a high energy density of 59 Wh kg −1 with a power density of 1991 W kg −1 at a specific current of 2.5 A g −1 and retains 95% of the initial capacitance after 10 000 cycles at a specific current of 10 A g −1 . The excellence electrochemical performance demonstrates clearly the potential application of self-assembled Ni-Al LDH/NNDG hybrid composites for hybrid supercapacitors.

Herein, we present a sensitive analytical method utilizing Materials Institute Lavoisier (MIL)-68(Al)-coated frosted glass rods (MIL-68(Al)@FGR) coupled with ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography for detecting trace tetracycline (TC) antibiotics in food matrices. The synthesized coating was thoroughly characterized through field-emission scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy analyses. Systematic optimization of critical parameters, including extraction time, sample pH, formic acid concentration, and desorption time achieved optimal extraction efficiency. The developed method exhibited a wide linear range (3–70 ng/mL) with low detection limits (0.1–0.3 ng/mL) for target analytes. Practical application to spiked food samples demonstrated satisfactory recoveries of 75.2%–115.1% across milk, chicken, and egg matrices, accompanied by precise relative standard deviations of ≤8.4%. The MIL-68(Al)@FGR-based approach shows exceptional resistance to matrix interference and detection sensitivity, establishing an effective strategy for monitoring TC residues in complex food samples.

P2-Na 0.67 Ni 0.33 Mn 0.67 O 2 cathode material is considered as an ideal cathode material for sodium-ion batteries due to its high capacity. However, it has P2-O2 phase transition, which leads to fast capacity decay. This paper investigates the effect of Zn/Al co-substitution on their chemical-electrical properties. The experimental results show that this strategy successfully transforms the unfavorable P2-O2 phase transition that occurs in the material during cycling into a reversible P2-OP4 phase transition, and the reversible capacity and capacity retention of the P2-type cathode material are significantly improved. It maintains a high energy density of up to 444 Wh·Kg −1 in the first five charge/discharge cycles, facilitating the future practical implementation and commercialization of the material.

Swine wastewater is a type of highly turbid wastewater with extremly high concentration of COD, NH 4 + , and total phosphorus. To address the drawbacks of commercial coagulants in the pretreatment of swine wastewater, such as loose flocs, slow settling rates, and the inability to remove NH 4 + , a novel Mg-Fe-Al hybrid magnetic coagulant (Mg/Fe/Al-MC) is prepared by using the high-pressure acid leaching (HPAL) technology based on iron tailings waste. Compared to atmospheric acid leaching (AAL), HPAL significantly increased the iron leaching rate from 22 % to 61 %. The specific surface area was increased from 5.1 to 9.2 m 2 /g. The study revealed the synergistic crystallization-coagulation-adsorption mechanism for the purification of swine wastewater. When the dosage of Mg/Fe/Al-MC was 2.5 g/L and pH was 9.0, the removal efficiency of NH 4 + reached 60 % by forming magnesium ammonium phosphate (MAP). Zeta potential results indicated that the coagulation mechanism of Mg/Fe/Al-MC is primarily based on electrostatic neutralization. After maturing Mg/Fe/Al-MC for 60 h, the content of essential polymeric Fe-Al hydroxide complexes [Fe(III)+Al(III)](b) reached 22.7 %. The insoluble porous particles exhibited a significant adsorption capacity, suggesting its important role in pollutant removal. Under the action of an external magnetic field, the settling velocity of Mg/Fe/Al-MC was significantly faster than that of polyaluminum chloride (PAC), with a much higher clear water yield of 75.5 %. This study provides new pathway for the enhanced pretreatment of swine wastewater.

Purification and dehydration of ethyl acetate are important processes in chemical production, and the preparation of stable and efficient pervaporation membrane materials has still been a challenge. In this work, a well-intergrown polycrystalline Al-Fum@CS tubular membrane was successfully prepared by a synergistic strategy involving seeded growth combined with surface remediation and applied for the first time in the separation of a multicomponent mixture containing ethyl acetate by pervaporation. By regulating the synthesis conditions, a continuous Al-Fum membrane with thickness of 1.7 μm was initially grown within the innermost part of a uniform seed layer. Subsequently, a chitosan (CS) layer was introduced onto the membrane to fabricate the Al-Fum@CS membrane. This CS layer significantly modifies the defects existing in the membrane surface. The obtained Al-Fum@CS membrane with the thickness of around 1.8 μm is dense and has strong hydrophilicity. It can preferentially separate water from a ternary azeotropic mixture of water–ethanol–ethyl acetate and displays high pervaporation performance with a permeation flux of 1.88 kg/(m2·h) and a separation factor of ∼6000 at 60 °C. Especially, the Al-Fum@CS membrane can be continuously operated for more than 150 h without any obvious change in separation performance, showing excellent ultrahigh stability. Moreover, the as-prepared membrane has good acid resistance and reusability in complex environments according to the results of multiple mixture pervaporation experiments. Therefore, the Al-Fum@CS tubular membrane has great industrial application potential for the purification of ethyl acetate produced from the esterification reaction.

Ultrasensitive Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) method for the detection of diquat/dipterex was established using bovine serum albumin (BSA)-protected silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) modified MIL-53(Al) (named as BSA/MIL-53(Al)/AgNPs). Compared with unmodified AgNPs, BSA/MIL-53(Al)/AgNPs significantly enhanced the Raman signals of diquat and dipterex and the enhancement factors (EFs) were 1.58 × 10 7 and 2.34 × 10 7 , respectively. The TEM, XRD, TGA, XPS, UV–vis and FT-IR were utilized to characterize BSA/MIL-53(Al)/AgNPs and the binding of the substrate with diquat/dipterex. The optimal measurement conditions were investigated in detail by single factor experiment and response surface model. The impacts of common pesticides and coexisting substances on the determination of diquat/dipterex were studied. Under optimum conditions, linear calibration curves for detecting diquat/dipterex were established with a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.17/0.89 pmol L −1 (3 S 0 / S ). The SERS approaches were used to detect diquat and dipterex in several fruits and vegetables. The recovery was 97.10 %–104.82 % with the relative standard deviation (RSD) of 1.04 %–4.15 % ( n = 5).

Composite solid propellants demand fine and stable mechanical properties, creep resistance and stress relaxation performance during their long storage and usage time. In this study, modified hyperbranched polyester (MHBPE) was prepared and introduced into HTPE/AP/Al/RDX (HTPE, hydroxyl-terminated polyether; AP, ammonium perchlorate; RDX, cyclotrimethylenetrinitramine) solid propellant as an effective additive. The static tensile and dynamic mechanical properties of this propellant before and after the introduction of MHBPE were evaluated. The elevated interfacial interaction by using MHBPE between the binder and RDX fillers improved the toughness and elasticity of the propellant. The enhancement mechanisms were also confirmed by the influence on the fracture surface morphology of the binder which was investigated by SEM. In addition, some influence on the dynamic mechanical properties of HTPE/AP/Al/RDX propellant caused by MHBPE was investigated by dynamic mechanical analysis. The creep behaviors of the HTPE/AP/Al/RDX propellants with and without MHBPE were also investigated at different stresses and temperatures. Reduced creep strain rate and strain were obtained for the modified propellant, implying enhanced creep resistance performance. The creep properties were quantitatively evaluated using a six-element model and the long-term creep performance of the propellant was predicted using the time–temperature superposition principle. A creep behavior of nearly 10 6 s at 30 °C could be acquired in a short-term experiment (800 s) at 30–70 °C. Moreover, the stress relaxation investigation of the propellants with and without MHBPE at −40 °C, 20 °C and 70 °C suggested that MHBPE/HTPE/AP/Al/RDX propellant possessed better response ability to deformation. Thus, the application of MHBPE provides an efficient route of reinforcement to enhance the creep resistance and stress relaxation properties. © 2020 Society of Chemical Industry

Layered double hydroxides (LDHs) were innovatively employed in this study as catalyst for synthesis gas conversion to chemicals, such as oxygenates. Cobalt-aluminium layered double hydroxides (Co-Al LDHs) was prepared at different temperatures. and lactate was successfully intercalated into the LDHs by ion-exchange method and then the material was further delaminated in water at ambient temperature. The samples were characterized by SEM, TEM and AFM, and separately dispersed nanosheets can be clearly observed. The prepared lamellas were applied in aqueous-phase synthesis gas conversion reaction. The catalysts generated a superior activity of 0.055–0.675 mol CO · mol Co - 1 · h - 1 and greater oxygenated product (acetaldehyde) selectivity (S Oxy = 75–88%) than conventional cobalt Fisher-Tropsch (FT) synthesis catalysts. Ammonium ion showed some effect of the selectivity of the acetaldehyde. The original research results suggested a promising application of the mono-dispersed ultrathin cobalt-bearing LDHs nanosheets in the aqueous phase syngas conversion to valuable oxygenate products.

The energy performance of nanothermites in aqueous conditions is commonly restricted by the rapid heat dissipation and corrosion of nano-Al. Here we report studies on the fabrication and submerged ignition for the super-hydrophobic nanothermite film based upon the Co 3 O 4 /Al core/shell nanowires (NWs). The Co 3 O 4 NWs arrays, which are synthesized using a facile hydrothermal-annealing method, serve as templates for the deposition of Al shells by magnetron sputtering. The super-hydrophobic surface is subsequently realized by the fluoroalkylsilane coating. The tests of the laser-induced underwater ignition reveal that the super-hydrophobic modification effectively could lead to the ignition of the nanothermite film. Furthermore, the anti-aging behaviors of the obtained super-hydrophobic nanothermite film in aqueous conditions are investigated in detail to compare the heat-release and ignition characteristics at different submersion times. Impressively, the resultant super-hydrophobic composite could still hold about 50% of the original energy even after an underwater storage of 2 days.

Zn x Al 2 O 4 :Cr 3+ (0.8 ≤ x ≤ 4) phosphors with spinel structure were prepared by using sol-gel method. The structure, morphology and photoluminescence properties were analyzed by using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and photoluminescence (PL). The spinel structure of ZnAl 2 O 4 was formed for all samples, and hexagonal structure of ZnO appeared in the powders with x ≥ 1.1. The results of XRD, SEM and TEM showed that the crystallinity of Zn x Al 2 O 4 :Cr 3+ phosphors was improved with increasing the value of x . The PL spectra showed a series of sharp emission peaks ranging from 650 nm to 730 nm assigned to spin-forbidden 2 E g → 4 A 2 g transition of Cr 3+ ions in spinel lattices. The most intense emission was observed in Zn 1.2 Al 2 O 4 :Cr 3+ powders, and the results of EPR showed that this enhancement resulted from the best dispersity of Cr 3+ ions in Zn x Al 2 O 4 lattices.

Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) and surface-enhanced infrared absorption (SEIRA) are complementary techniques, and both provide fingerprint structural information on various materials with a high sensitivity. Herein, Zn–Al layered double hydroxides (LDHs) are proposed for the first time as highly sensitive and uniform substrates for both SERS and SEIRA. Zn–Al LDHs show a remarkable SERS effect with an enhancement factor (EF) as high as 1.637 × 104 by using 4-mercaptobenzoic acid (4-MBA) as the probe molecule, where the charge transfer and hydrogen bonds are believed to result in the SERS effect. Interestingly, Zn–Al LDHs also exhibit SEIRA by using 4-methoxybenzenethiol (4-MTP), where the resultant substrates possess excellent long-term stability. This study not only presents a facile route to fabricate LDH materials, but also provides a novel substrate that can be used in both SERS and SEIRA.

To obtain comprehensive information and to compensate the limits of individual modalities in molecular imaging, the research on dual-modal imaging probes (DMIPs) attracts much interest. Here, we report a reliable and facile procedure to prepare near infrared fluorescence (NIRF)-magnetic resonance (MR) DMIPs using Cy5-labeled, Gd–Al co-doped mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs). Amine-modified, Gd–Al co-doped MSNs were first synthesized through one-step co-condensation. A Cy5-NHS ester was then coupled to the amino groups to produce the DMIPs, which were denoted as Gd–Al@MSNs-Cy5. High intensity NIRF and a relaxation rate (17.7 mM−1 s−1) were observed. Featuring the lower background and the deeper penetration depth, the cutting-edge NIRF imaging was achieved. Moreover, the larger surface area of MSNs could be modified with more NIRF probes, Cy5, for improved NIRF. Following the Solomon–Bloembergen–Morgan theory, enhanced MR performance was illustrated by the relaxation rate because MSNs have a porous structure that enables access of water into the interior, and co-doping with Al in the MSNs promotes the doped amount of Gd. The exchange rate of water is much more accelerated through doping Gd and Al since a disordered pore arrangement is found in Gd–Al co-doped MSNs. The DMIPs in saline were injected into mice through the tail vein for imaging and basic pharmacokinetics studies. They were excreted by the stomach and intestine in 3 h, a circulation time long enough for imaging. Thus, Gd–Al@MSNs-Cy5 are attractive for clinical NIRF-MR dual-modal imaging by integrating the biocompatibility of MSNs, the NIRF of Cy5, and the high MR response of Gd.
