The sluggish kinetics of the electrochemical oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in intermediate-temperature solid oxide fuel cells (IT-SOFCs) greatly limits the overall cell performance. In this study, an efficient and durable cathode material for IT-SOFCs is designed based on density functional theory (DFT) calculations by co-doping with Nb and Ta the B-site of the SrFeO 3− δ perovskite oxide. The DFT calculations suggest that Nb/Ta co-doping can regulate the energy band of the parent SrFeO 3− δ and help electron transfer. In symmetrical cells, such cathode with a SrFe 0.8 Nb 0.1 Ta 0.1 O 3− δ (SFNT) detailed formula achieves a low cathode polarization resistance of 0.147 Ω cm 2 at 650 °C. Electron spin resonance (ESR) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis confirm that the co-doping of Nb/Ta in SrFeO 3− δ B-site increases the balanced concentration of oxygen vacancies, enhancing the electrochemical performance when compared to 20 mol% Nb single-doped perovskite oxide. The cathode button cell with Ni-SDC|SDC|SFNT configuration achieves an outstanding peak power density of 1.3 W cm −2 at 650 °C. Moreover, the button cell shows durability for 110 h under 0.65 V at 600 °C using wet H 2 as fuel.

Metal-ion coordination jointly regulates hydrogel and TA@rGO networks. • PTGS-Fe 3+ reaches 1.10 MPa tensile and 3.33 MPa compressive strength. • Conductivity increases to 17.8 S m −1 despite stronger crosslinking. • Machine learning recognizes hydrogel states and nine human motions. The development of flexible sensors requires hydrogel materials with high mechanical strength, electrical conductivity, and multifunctional adaptability. However, achieving simultaneous enhancement of mechanical and electrical properties remains challenging due to the trade-off between network reinforcement and charge transport. Herein, a modular conductive hydrogel strategy based on metal-ion coordination regulation is proposed. A tannic acid-reduced graphene oxide (TA@rGO) conductive filler is incorporated into a polyacrylamide/sodium alginate (PAM/SA) double-network hydrogel, and the resulting PAM/TA@rGO/SA hydrogel is denoted as PTGS. Subsequently, dynamic coordination interactions between Cu 2+ /Fe 3+ ions and oxygen-containing groups of SA, as well as polyphenolic sites of TA, are utilized to prepare PTGS-Cu 2+ and PTGS-Fe 3+ hydrogels with tunable properties. Metal-ion coordination significantly improves the mechanical performance, with PTGS-Fe 3+ achieving tensile and compressive strengths of 1100 kPa and 3330 kPa, respectively. Unlike conventional ion-conducting hydrogels, where enhanced crosslinking generally suppresses conductivity, TA@rGO-mediated electronic pathways allow metal-ion coordination to simultaneously improve conductivity, reaching 17.8 S m −1 for PTGS-Fe 3+ . Moreover, different coordination states endow the hydrogels with distinct sensing characteristics, including wide-range strain detection, balanced sensitivity and detection range, and high sensitivity at low strain. Combined with machine learning algorithms, the hydrogels enable material-state recognition and accurate classification of diverse human motions. This work provides a modular strategy for designing multifunctional conductive hydrogels with tunable sensing capabilities.

Wastewater treatment remains a critical global environmental challenge. In this study, zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) was first grown in situ on carboxylated carbon nanotubes (CNT-COOH), followed by coating with tannic acid (TA). The CNT-COOH@ZIF-8@TA composite was successfully synthesized. Subsequently, a series of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF)/CNT-COOH@ZIF-8@TA (PZC) separation membranes were fabricated by the non-solvent-induced phase separation (NIPS) method. Separation tests demonstrated the high removal efficiencies (>99%) of PZC membranes for methylene blue (MeB) and auramine O (AO) dyes, along with effective retention of corn oil and pump oil emulsions. Furthermore, the engineered PZC membranes exhibited significant adsorption capacity for aqueous dyes, achieving removal rates exceeding 98% for both MeB and AO. The adsorption characteristics and underlying mechanisms were elucidated through kinetic, isothermal, and intra-particle diffusion modeling. Additionally, the PZC membranes demonstrated catalytic activity towards MeB degradation, and the PZC4 membrane achieved a degradation efficiency of 88.3%. Moreover, to enhance membrane longevity, membrane regeneration was achieved through photocatalytic cleaning under UV irradiation, offering an alternative to conventional cleaning methods. This study systematically analyzed the chemical structure, surface morphology, hydrophilicity, and charge properties of the material through multiple characterization techniques, including Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), contact angle measurement, and Zeta potential analysis. The membrane's wastewater purification capability was comprehensively evaluated by combining filtration performance, adsorption experiments, and photocatalytic testing. The designed separation membranes offer promising solutions for the post-treatment of oil spills and the remediation of dye-contaminated wastewater.

A novel spinning method that integrates electrospun nanofiber strips into yarn structures has been developed to produce multifunctional yarns. The resulting yarn exhibited a core-sheath structure, with a core composed of tannic acid-modified magnesium hydroxide/thermoplastic polyurethane (TA@MH/TPU) nanofiber strip, sheathed by either pure cotton or cotton/sodium alginate blended fibers. The TA modification improved the dispersion of MH within the TPU matrix, leading to enhanced membrane strength compared to unmodified MH/TPU at equal loadings. The film containing 7% TA@MH/TPU demonstrated optimal mechanical properties (breaking strength of 1.43 MPa, elongation of 122.93%), flame retardancy (limiting oxygen index of 27.1%), and antibacterial efficacy killing ratios of 80.87% against E. coli and 85.07% against S. aureus . Yarns fabricated with this film, the TA@MH/TPU-cotton (CMSCY) retained the antibacterial functionality (67.48% against E. coli and 79.05% against S. aureus ), and the TA@MH/TPU-cotton/sodium alginate (C/SAMSCY) achieved the flame retardancy with a limiting oxygen index of 27.8%. Notably, the CMSCY yarn showed a high tensile strength of 1.53 MPa, which was 15 times that of the TA@MH/TPU nanofiber film, addressing the application limitations of nanofiber membranes caused by their low mechanical strength. Given that electrospun membranes can be readily functionalized, this spinning method offers a promising strategy for producing composite yarns, particularly for developing multifunctional textile fabrics.

Excessive oxidative stress and associated inflammation significantly impair bone regeneration around implants. To address this, we developed a novel therapeutic strategy based on metal-polyphenol nanoparticles self-assembled from tannic acid (TA) and manganese ions (Mn 2+ ). These Mn-TA nanoparticles (Mn-TA NPs) were subsequently incorporated into a gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA) hydrogel, which was then applied as a coating onto TiO 2 nanotube (TNT) surfaces by spin coating. The resulting modified titanium was designated as TNT-GelMA@NPs. Surface and interfacial characterization using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), contact angle measurement, spectroscopic ellipsometry and nanoindentation confirmed the successful fabrication of a uniform, adherent hydrogel coating on the TNT surfaces. The coating reduced surface roughness while maintaining hydrophilicity, and achieved sustained Mn 2+ release, as verified via inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES). TNT-GelMA@NPs exhibited potent ROS scavenging capacity, protected mitochondrial membrane potential, and upregulated antioxidant genes. Moreover, it promoted macrophage polarization from pro-inflammatory M1 to anti-inflammatory M2 phenotype, thereby creating a favorable osteoimmune microenvironment. Additionally, it promoted osteogenic differentiation by increasing ALP activity, mineralization, and the expression of osteogenic genes. In a rat femoral defect model, TNT-GelMA@NPs implants reduced oxidative damage and inflammation, while enhancing bone formation, as evidenced by histological staining and micro-CT analysis. This study demonstrates that the Mn-TA NP-reinforced hydrogel coating acts as a multifunctional biointerface with excellent potential for advanced implant surface engineering.

A novel self-healing composite coating was fabricated on magnesium alloy by using polycaprolactone (PCL) as resin matrix and iron-based metal-organic framework MIL-53 modified with tannic acid (TA) as function filler. The surface morphology, structure and wettability of composite coating were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) and sessile water droplet static contact angle. The corrosion resistance and healing performance of PCL coatings was determined by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and photothermal tests. Results indicate that MIL-53@TA/PCL coating possesses a flatter surface, a higher corrosion resistance and better photothermal effect than that of blank PCL coating and MIL-53/PCL coating. Under the near-infrared (NIR) laser irradiation with the wave length of 808 nm, the scratched MIL-53@TA/PCL coating could be healed within 10 min because of the excellent photothermal conversion ability of MIL-53@TA component.

Continuous increasing discharge of industrial oily wastewater and frequent occurrence of oil spill accidents have taken heavy tolls on global environment and human health. Organic-inorganic modifications can fabricate superhydrophilic/submerged superoleophobic membranes for efficient oil-water separation/treatment though they still suffer from complex operation, non-environmental friendliness, expensive cost or uneven distribution. Herein, a new strategy regarding tannic acid (TA)-Ti(IV) coating and CaCO 3 -based biomineralization through simple inkjet printing processes was proposed to modify polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membrane, endowing the membrane with high hydrophilicity (water contact angle (WCA) decreased from 86.01° to 14.94°) and underwater superoleophobicity (underwater contact angle (UOCA) > 155°). The optimized TA-Ti(IV)-CaCO 3 modified membrane possessed perfect water permeation to various oil/water emulsions (e.g., 355.7 L·m −2 ·h −1 for gasoline emulsion) under gravity with superior separation efficiency (>98.8 %), leading the way in oil/water emulsion separation performance of PVDF membranes modified with polyphenolic surfaces to our knowledge. Moreover, the modified membrane displayed rather high flux recovery after eight cycles of filtration while maintaining the original excellent separation efficiency. The modification process proposed in this study is almost independent of the nature of the substrate, and meets the demand for simple, inexpensive, rapid preparation of highly hydrophilic antifouling membranes, showing abroad application prospect for oil-water emulsion separation/treatment.

In this work, Ta was firstly reported as an efficient promoter of MgO–SiO 2 for the conversion of ethanol and acetaldehyde to 1,3-butadiene. The doping of Ta into MgO–SiO 2 forms Ta–O–Si bonds and generates more strong Lewis acid sites, which not only promote the aldol condensation reaction but also significantly facilitate the Meerwein–Ponndorf–Verley reduction, the total conversion around 80% which drops to 65% after 24 h. In addition, the catalyst showed desirable stability in 24 h long-term stability evaluation, the selectivity remained stable at 80%. Graphic Abstract

The combination of antifouling and biocidal methods is an efficient antimicrobial strategy to alleviate environmental biofouling. Herein, a functional organic/inorganic hybrid coating with integrated terpolymer and hybrid Ag@TA-SiO 2 nano spheres was designed and fabricated for antifouling purpose for the first time. The silicon-containing terpolymer (GHM) was fabricated via a simplified free radical co-polymerization process with glycidyl methacrylate (GMA), 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) and 3-(methacryloxypropyl) trimethoxysilane (MPS). It was expected that the (3-aminopropyl) triethoxysilane (KH550) would become immobilized at the epoxide ring of the GMA and eventually crosslinked, acting as a backbone for the final polymeric coating (PGHMK). Meanwhile, Ag nano-particles were decorated with tannic acid (TA) to have a composite surface structure and loaded with silica (SiO 2 ) to form raspberries. The fabrication of the decorated and loaded antibacterial nano particle Ag@TA-SiO 2 was environmental-friendly, high efficiency and low-cost. The PGHMK coating was expected to act as an effective antifouling barrier, and the embedded Ag@TA-SiO 2 as a functional biocide carrier to collectively inhibit biofouling. To ensure the designed fabrication processes and the products, the microstructural, compositional, morphological changes of the copolymers and nanoparticles were characterized by means of FT-IR, 1 H nuclear magnetic resonance, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and atomic force microscopy. The antifouling and bactericidal properties of the composite coatings were also systematically evaluated through measuring the adsorption of protein, growth of bacteria and attachment of microalgae on the coating surface. The results indicated that the coating suppressed 98.6 % of protein adsorption, and its antibacterial efficiency reached 99.1 % and 82.7 % for E. coli and S. aureus , respectively. The coating could also remarkably reduce the attachment of microalgae N. Closterium and Dicrateria zhanjiangensis by 93.5 % and 97.6 %, respectively. It is envisioned that the composite coating may provide a promising antifouling and antibacterial surface for marine engineering structures.

Tantalum (Ta) alloys are important ultra-high-temperature structural materials owing to their excellent high-temperature mechanical properties and processability. However, they exhibit poor high-temperature oxidation resistance. In this study, a dense MoSi 2 ceramic coating was prepared on a Ta substrate using an innovative multi-arc ion plating process and halide activated pack cementation in order to improve its ultra-high-temperature oxidation resistance. This ceramic coating exhibited a low roughness space arithmetic (287.1 ± 26.3 nm) and a dense structure. The relationship between the thickness of the coating and the duration of pack-cementation at 1250 ℃ was parabolic. The coating had a service life of more than 12 h at 1750 ℃, and showed excellent high-temperature oxidation resistance because of the uniform and dense structure of the coating and the rapid formation of a dense SiO 2 layer with low O 2 permeability during high-temperature oxidation.

In this study, a new metal-organic framework adsorbent (UIO-66-NH 2 @TA) which can efficiently and selectively capture lead ions was developed by functionalizing UIO-66-NH 2 with tannic acid (TA) by Michael addition reaction. The structural and morphological properties of the produced adsorbent, as well as its adsorption mechanism for Pb (II) were discussed. The maximum adsorption capacity of Pb (II) was 475.78 mg/g at pH 5.0, which was significantly higher than the adsorption capacity of many adsorbents reported in the literature. In addition, the adsorption isotherms and kinetics conformed to the Langmuir model and pseudo-second-order kinetic model , respectively. The results indicated that the adsorptive behavior of the adsorbent mainly depended on the active sites on the surface of the adsorbents. The UIO-66-NH 2 @TA showed favorable selectivity toward Pb (II) against the interference of coexisting metal ions . It was found that the excellent Pb (II) removal performance of UIO-66-NH 2 @TA was mainly attributed to the synergistic effect of physical adsorption and chemisorption . Moreover, the UIO-66-NH 2 @TA showed extraction efficiencies of 88.01%, 82.44%, 80.20% and 74.99% for Pb (II) with initial concentration of 100 mg/L in river water, sea water, peach juice drink, and grape juice, respectively. This work proved that the UIO-66-NH 2 @TA had a wide application prospect in the field of Pb (II) treatment.

Herein, we report a preparation method based on a modified zeolite imidazolate skeleton loose nanofiltration membrane used to achieve the efficient separation of salt and dye from dye wastewater. In this study, negatively charged hydrophilic TA@ZIF-8 was synthesized using a tannin surface-functionalization-assisted etching process by tannic acid (TA). A novel, highly negatively charged, and loose nanofiltration membrane was then prepared by adding TA@ZIF-8 to a polyethyleneimine (PEI) and tricarboxylic acid (TMA) crosslinking system. The addition of TA@ZIF-8 nanoparticles not only changed the degree of crosslinking of PEI/TMA but also provided a preferential channel for water molecules, thereby improving the flux of the membrane. Then, the success of TA@ZIF-8 NPs and membranes preparation were verified by SEM, XRD, FT-IR, TGA , BET, XPS and other methods. The results showed that the optimal preparation conditions were 0.020 wt% TA@ZIF-8 loading, and the contact angle of the membranes decreased from 79.8° to 53.7°. The water flux of the membrane is 81 L·m −2 ·h −1 ·bar −1 , which is 1.5 times that of PEI/TMA membrane. In addition, TA@ZIF-8–2 membrane not only has high rejection rate for Methyl blue (98.7 %), Toluidine blue (89.6 %), Cr 6+ (91.2 %), but also maintains high transmittance for NaCl and Na 2 SO 4 . Besides, the separation performance of the membrane was stable for a long time in a mixed solution of dye and salt and excellent antifouling performance. Therefore, the loose TA@ZIF-8/PEI/TMA nanofiltration membrane has broad application prospects in printing and dyeing wastewater treatments .
