This work reports the design and preparation of novel organic (polyvinyl alcohol, PVA)-inorganic (neodymium nitrate, Nd(NO 3 ) 3 ) hybrid coatings on micro-arc oxidation (MAO) coating for magnesium (Mg) alloy corrosion protection . X-ray diffractometer , X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, fourier transform infrared spectroscopy , field emission scanning electron microscope , Energy Dispersive X-ray spectrometer and surface roughness were applied to characterize the chemical composition and surface morphology of the coatings. The corrosion resistance of the coatings was evaluated by electrochemical and salt spray tests. The results suggested that the formation of PVA-Nd 3+ and PVA-Mg 2+ complexes promoted the enrichment of Nd 3+ on the surface, and thereby improved the sealing quality and compactness of the coating. Interestingly, when the coating was damaged, the Nd 3+ ions were transformed to their carbonates and covered the active sites, and thus exhibiting self-healing function. Further, the corrosion resistance of PVA-Nd 3+ modified MAO composite coating on AZ31 Mg alloy was improved.

Separation of adjacent rare-earth elements, such as Pr and Nd, is extremely difficult due to the similarity in their physicochemical properties . Enhanced separation of adjacent rare-earth elements based on the “push-pull effect” by addition of water-soluble complexing agents was an effective strategy in traditional organic-aqueous two-phase extraction. However, environmental pollution is serious due to the residual of complexing agent in the extraction raffinates. In present work, a novel “external push-pull” extraction system, composed of three coexisting liquid phases, P507 organic phase, ionic liquid (tributyl-methyl ammonium nitrate , N 4441 NO 3 )-rich phase and NaNO 3 aqueous solutions, is suggested to improve the separation between Pr and Nd. It is revealed that Nd and Pr can be enriched respectively into the P507 organic top phase and N 4441 NO 3 -rich ionic liquid middle phase in the external push-pull extraction system, owing to a so-called “external push-pull effect” from a reversed extraction selectivity of P507 organic phase and N 4441 NO 3 ionic liquid-rich phase towards Nd and Pr, respectively. Compared to traditional organic-water two-phase systems, the separation factor of Pr to Nd in the suggested external push-pull extraction system could increase obviously to 3.5 or even more. Various effects from the aqueous pH, NaNO 3 concentration, the initial concentration ratios of Pr to Nd in feed aqueous solutions, and the addition amount of N 4441 NO 3 , the volume of P507 organic phase on the separation between Pr and Nd are discussed. In addition, reversal extraction of rare earth ions in the ionic liquid-rich phase is found to be closely related to the complexation behavior of rare earth ions with NO 3 − ions by using molecular dynamic simulations. Based on this work, a possibility for extraction and separation of 14 rare-earth element ions from their coexisting aqueous solutions using the suggested external push-pull extraction system is also explored. The present work highlights a novel green strategy for improving the separation of adjacent rare-earth elements.

The design of efficient, low-cost, highly active and thermally stable electrocatalysts is critical for both oxygen reduction reactions (ORR) and oxygen evolution reactions (OER). While some spinel metal oxides exhibit good activities for either ORR or OER, a bifunctional spinel metal oxide that can provide decent activities for both ORR and OER would be most desirable. To date, rare earth metal-modified spinel oxides have not been well-studied, but they are thought to be able to boost both ORR and OER simultaneously. Hence, a Nd-doped NiCo 2 O 4 catalyst was synthesized in this work to evaluate its potential for improving both ORR and OER reactions. We hypothesized that this catalyst would be a viable option, as the highly oxidized Co 4+ (hydroxycobalt oxide) generated from surface reconstruction could be an active site for OER while Ni 2+ is intrinsically an active site for ORR. Amazingly, our study revealed that the addition of Nd in spinel metal oxides was able to inhibit the formation of Co 4+ at low potentials while the Ni species promoted the formation of Co 4+ from Co 2+ , thus achieving a balance between Co 2+ and Co 4+ which resulted in a multi-step oxidation process of Co 2+ → Co 3+ → Co 4+ . In addition, by tuning the amount of Nd doped, an optimum electrocatalyst Nd 0.1 Ni 0.9 Co 2 O 4 with excellent activities for both ORR (i.e. the half-wave potential E 1/2 = 0.735 V) and OER (i.e. the overpotential at 10 mA cm −2 E 10 mA·cm −2 = 302 mV) in alkaline conditions was developed. In summary, this work may have opened a new pathway for applying spinel metal oxides as bifunctional catalysts in future commercial ORR and OER processes.

Novel monoclinic Bi 2 O 3 -xRE 2 O 3 -yMoO 3 (RE=Pr, Nd, Sm, and Yb) based low temperature co-fired ceramics (LTCC) systems with high sintering density and low microwave dielectric loss are synthesized by conventional solid state reaction technique. The structure and dielectric properties of Bi 2 O 3 -xRE 2 O 3 -yMoO 3 ceramics are investigated. Dense BiNdMoO 6 ceramics sintered at 900 °C for 8 h in air have a low dielectric constant ε r =~7.5, a high quality factor Q × f =~ 24, 800 GHz at 7.0 GHz, and τ f =~−16 ppm/̊C. Especially, good chemical compatibility of BiNdMoO 6 with Ag electrodes is represented as well. In contrast, BiSmMoO 6 ceramics sintered at 1000 °C for 8 h show enhanced Q×f =~43, 700 GHz at 7.8 GHz with ε r = ~8.5 and τ f = ~−27 ppm/°C. Bi 2 O 3 -xRE 2 O 3 -yMoO 3 (RE=Pr, Nd, Sm, and Yb) based ceramics could be considered as promising microwave ceramics for LTCC applications.

In spite of superior magnetic properties, neodymium–iron–boron (Nd-Fe-B) applications in harsh environments have been greatly hindered by their susceptibility to corrosion, humidity, mechanical, and temperature attacks. Herein, a construction strategy of robust slippery liquid-infused porous surfaces (SLIPS) coatings is proposed via the multi-dimensional design of surface, bulk coating, and interface. The manipulation of colloidal states of silica particles by chemical hydrophobization allows for building a dense polymer network, enhancing interfacial adhesion and locking lubricant film effectively. The resulting coating is demonstrated to be extremely stable, endowing the magnet with excellent liquid repellency, anti-corrosion, and anti-icing properties. Strikingly, no trace of corrosion is detected after 136-day immersion in 3.5 wt.% NaCl solution and the impedance modulus at 0.1 Hz can be maintained as the initial of 3.31 × 10 8 Ω·cm 2 even after 132-day immersion, which is far superior to that of commercial Ni-Cu-Ni, Zn, and EP coatings. Additionally, anti-icing performance at low temperatures is evidenced by the delayed icing time and decreased ice adhesion strength. Importantly, the self-healing property offers the surface intensified durability even after mechanical damage. This work demonstrates a construction strategy of robust SLIPS coatings with a multi-dimensional design, enabling the practical applications of Nd-Fe-B magnets in extreme environments like offshore wind turbines.

Three nanocubic Ag/Ce x Nd 1- x O 2 catalysts were synthesized to evaluate the influence of Nd doping on catalyst practicability. It was observed that Nd doping generated excessive ceria surface oxygen vacancies, but reduced the bulk oxygen vacancies . These variations in oxygen vacancies suppress the utilization of ceria bulk oxygen, and induce the formation of less active O 2− species instead of O 2 − , resulting in a low soot oxidation activity. However, the introduction of Nd can inhibit Ag sintering and thus enhance the catalysts’ thermal stability effectively. As a consequence, Ag/Ce 0.95 Nd 0.05 O 2 nanocubes make a good balance between the catalyst activity and stability. Moreover, it was observed that catalyst deactivation during soot oxidation becomes more obvious when the catalysts and soot are not in close contact.

Determining rare earth elements (REEs) and Sr-Nd isotope ratios at low abundance levels in ultramafic rocks remains a significant challenge. This study presents a simplified method for the separation of trace multi-elements using a tandem column of SR-TODGA resin combination, and thereby the elements at very low levels, and 87Sr/86Sr and 143Nd/144Nd ratios in ultramafic rocks were determined by inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) and thermal ionization mass spectrometry (TIMS). The samples were digested using HF-HNO3, and prepared to HNO3-H3BO3 solutions. After loading the sample solutions onto the tandem column, Sr was eluted from the SR resin column using 10 mL of 0.045 M HNO3. The TODGA column was eluted sequentially with 10 mL of 0.45 M HNO3 and 1.4 M HF for Zr, Hf, Th and U, 7 mL of 2.1 M HCl for La, Ce and Pr, 5 mL of 1.5 M HCl for Nd, and 10 mL of 0.06 M H2SO4 for other REEs (Sm-Lu and Y). The procedural recovery yields were evaluated by adding standards, and they ranged from 97.3% for La to 103.9% for Th. The blank ranges from 0.01 ng (Ho, Tm and Lu) to 24.4 ng (Sr). Eight ultramafic reference materials, JP-1, DTS-2b, UB-N, MUH-1, SARM-6, Harz01, DZΣ-1 and DZΣ-2, were analyzed, and the analytical results exhibit good agreement with certified and literature values. Therefore, the proposed method can be applied to accurately analyze both the contents of multi-elements at very low levels and Sr-Nd isotopic ratios in ultramafic rocks.

The synthesis of novel two-dimensional (2D) triangular frustrated compounds are important for providing various platforms to investigate exotic quantum magnetism. Here, we successfully synthesised a series of RE-based magnetic compounds Ba3BiPbREO(BO3)4 (RE = Pr, Nd, Gd, Dy) with a geometrically-perfect 2D triangular lattice directed by triangular BO3 unit. These compounds stabilise 2D layered structures in the hexagonal (P63/mmc) crystal system, where magnetic ions are linked by BO3 to form a perfect triangular frustrated lattice. The magnetisation susceptibility results show that all synthesised compounds Ba3BiPbREO(BO3)4 exhibit dominant antiferromagnetic (AFM) interactions, with no long-range order (LRO) down to 2 K, which is further confirmed by specific heat measurements. Additionally, their thermal stability, attenuated total reflectance Fourier-transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) and Ultraviolet−visible-near-infrared (UV−Vis−NIR) diffuse reflectance spectra are also reported. This work provides a series of RE-based magnetic compounds with a two-dimensional triangular frustrated lattice, offering novel model materials for further investigation on rare-earth-based frustrated magnetism.

In this work, new high-entropy RE 2 (Ce 0.2 Zr 0.2 Hf 0.2 Sn 0.2 Ti 0.2 ) 2 O 7 (RE 2 HE 2 O 7 , RE = La, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd, Dy) ceramics were successfully prepared. RE 2 HE 2 O 7 ceramics exhibited a pyrochlore–fluorite dual-phase structure. For Sm 2 HE 2 O 7 ceramic, Ce 4+ with larger ionic radius was enriched in the fluorite phase, Sn 4+ and Ti 4+ with smaller ionic radii were enriched in the pyrochlore phase, while Zr 4+ and Hf 4+ with medium ionic radii existed in both phases. Compared with YSZ materials, RE 2 HE 2 O 7 ceramics exhibited a much lower glass-like thermal conductivity (1.19–1.68 W m −1 K −1 , 100–900 °C) and comparable thermal expansion coefficients (8.67–10.85 × 10 −6 K −1 , 1200 °C). Furthermore, due to grain refinement caused by the competition of two phases, the Vickers hardness (10.29–13.85 GPa) of RE 2 HE 2 O 7 ceramics is improved. The results indicate that dual-phase high-entropy RE 2 HE 2 O 7 ceramics are promising candidate materials for the next generation of thermal barrier coatings.

The corrosion behavior of Mg-7Nd and Mg-10Y binary alloys were investigated through scanning electron microscope observation, hydrogen evolution, weight loss experiment and electrochemical test. It was found that the corrosion rates of two alloys are mainly influenced by the micro-galvanic corrosion between the second phase and α-Mg matrix, and the second phases (Mg 12 Nd and Mg 24 Y 5 ) have a higher activity than α-Mg matrix and act as an anode to corrode preferentially during the micro-galvanic corrosion process. Mg-7Nd alloy has a faster corrosion rate than Mg-10Y alloy due to the fact that it contains more second phase and the second phase containing Nd elements is more reactive. The different distribution of rare earth elements in the alloy can lead to different corrosion morphology.

Flexible dielectric capacitors with large energy storage density play key role in modern electronic devices. Ceramic fibers with large dielectric constants are benign candidates to be introduced into the polymer matrix to enhance the energy storage density while guaranteeing the flexibility. In present work, Nd doped BaTiO 3 (NBT) fibers with and without dopamine (PDA) coating were successfully fabricated and introduced into the Poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) matrix. The dielectric constants and breakdown strength were simultaneously enhanced with a small loading of NBT filler. The subtle modulation was then performed around the filler loading at which the large energy density was obtained. With the NBT loading of 2.5 wt% and 4.2 wt%, the maximum energy density of 9.3 and 10.4 J/cm 3 were obtained in PVDF/NBT and PVDF/NBT@PDA composites, respectively. Both of experimental results and simulation indicate the effectiveness of dopamine coating on the uniform distribution of electric field and good comparability between the matrix and fillers.

Bioabsorbable magnesium alloys are becoming prominent as temporary functional implants, as they avoid the risks generated by permanent metallic implants such as persistent inflammation and late restenosis. Nevertheless, the overfast corrosion of Mg alloys under physiological conditions hinders their wider application as medical implant materials. Here we investigate a simple one-step process to introduce a cross-linked 3-amino-propyltrimethoxysilane (APTES) silane physical barrier layer on the surface of Mg–Zn–Y–Nd alloys prior to electrostatic spraying with rapamycin-eluting poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) layer. Surface microstructure was characterized by scanning electron microscope and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Nanoscratch test verified the superior adhesion strength of PLGA coating in the group pretreated with APTES. Electrochemical tests combined with long-term immersion results suggested that the preferable in vitro anticorrosion behavior could be achieved by dense APTES barrier. Cell morphology and proliferation data demonstrated that APTES pretreated group resulted in remarkably preferable compatibility for both human umbilical vein endothelial cells and vascular smooth muscle cells. On the basis of excellent in vitro mechenical property, the animal study on the APTES pretreated Mg–Zn–Y–Nd stent implanted into porcine coronary arteries confirmed benign tissue compatibility as well as re-endothelialization without thrombogenesis or in-stent restenosis at six-month followup.
