To address the challenge of insufficient long-term protective performance in waterborne epoxy coatings (WEP) due to curing defects, this study successfully synthesized a ternary nanocomposite filler, BTA@OH-BN/PANI (BTP), through a chemical oxidation polymerization process. Hydroxylated hexagonal boron nitride (OH-BN) was employed as a functional scaffold, onto which the corrosion inhibitor benzotriazole (BTA) was loaded via a solution impregnation method. Camphorsulfonic acid-doped polyaniline (CSA-PANI) was then coated onto the surface using in situ polymerization. FT-IR, XPS, and FE-SEM characterization confirmed strong interfacial coupling between the components and the successful formation of the core-shell structure. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) results revealed that the BTP filler significantly improves coating performance through a multidimensional synergistic effect, including physical shielding, active repair, and interfacial passivation. At the scratch defect site, due to the responsive release of BTA and the passivation induced by PANI, the charge transfer resistance ( R ct ) increased from an initial value of 13,200 Ω·cm 2 to 25,600 Ω·cm 2 within 24 h, demonstrating significant active impedance recovery. After a 90-day immersion in a 3.5% NaCl solution, the BTP-WEP substrate retained its bright metallic lustre. This study provides a solid theoretical and experimental foundation for the development of high-performance, synergistic active, and environmentally friendly marine anti-corrosion coatings.

Recovering valuable organic compounds from high-salinity organic wastewater is essential for sustainable chemical manufacturing. However, conventional polymeric membranes suffer from insufficient organic/inorganic selectivity, poor solvent resistance, and severe membrane fouling during practical applications. Herein, we developed a hydroxylated carbon nanotube (CNT-OH)-modulated graphene oxide (GO) membrane to address these challenges. By precisely regulating the inner diameter and hydroxyl content of CNT-OH, rapid transport channels for water molecules and hydrated ions were constructed, which simultaneously suppressed interlayer swelling and enhanced the rejection of organic compounds. The optimized GO/single-walled hydroxylated carbon nanotubes (SWCNT-OH) membrane achieved water permeability of 28.7 l m −2 h −1 bar −1 and separation factor above 15 for negatively charged dyes, antibiotics, and per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) relative to inorganic salts (NaCl), outperforming commercial nanofiltration (NF) membranes by one order of magnitude. During one-month continuous treatment of real erythromycin (ERY) fermentation broth, the membrane showed only a 7.1% flux decline and maintained 99.9% ERY rejection. Compared with conventional ultrafiltration-nanofiltration (UF-NF) processes, the system reduced operating costs by 66.4% and CO 2 emissions by 76.8%, demonstrating pronounced economic and environmental advantages. Overall, the system demonstrates outstanding application potential, strong scalability and engineering feasibility.

S-modified MnO 2 /Ni(OH) 2 hollow nanosheets were constructed for enhanced UOR. • Requires 1.30 V at 10 mA cm −2 and remains stable for 48 h. • MnO 2 phase transformation promotes the generation of Ni 3+ active species. • S-modification enhances urea adsorption while suppressing competitive OH − adsorption. The urea oxidation reaction (UOR) provides an alternative anodic process for electrochemical hydrogen generation, but developing catalysts with high activity and sustained performance remains challenging. In this study, we report an S-modified nickel-based catalyst with a hollow nanosheet architecture (α/γ-MnO 2 /Ni(OH) 2 -S), demonstrating enhanced UOR performance in alkaline media. α/γ-MnO 2 /Ni(OH) 2 -S attains a current density of 10 mA cm −2 at a potential of 1.30 V and maintains reliable durability for 48 h without significant degradation. The improved activity and durability are associated with the hollow nanosheet structure, the phase transformation of MnO 2 , and S-modification, which facilitate mass transport and charge transfer, modulate the electronic structure of Ni(OH) 2 to promote the formation of Ni 3+ active species, and enhance the electrochemical response to urea at different concentrations. This research establishes a practical avenue for constructing advanced nickel-based UOR catalysts through rational structural optimization, phase regulation, and surface modification.

Decoupled water splitting offers a safe and efficient route for hydrogen production. However, its practical application remains constrained by issues such as low electrode discharge capacity and poor structural stability. In this study, framework-integrated Ni(OH)2 anodes for membrane-free decoupled water splitting are fabricated. The framework-integrated electrode structure with a carboxymethyl cellulose-based binder affords a well-developed conductive network and robust interfacial contact. This architecture delivers higher discharge capacity and enhanced cycling stability relative to conventional coated electrodes. In addition, the use of nickel powder as the conductive additive improves electronic conductivity, resulting in higher discharge capacity and excellent hydrogen-production performance. The framework-integrated Ni(OH)2 anode maintains a stable structure and electrochemical performance over 100 decoupled cycles, achieving a Faradaic efficiency of 97.3%. The electrical energy consumption for hydrogen production is 3.40 kWh m-3 H2 at 50 mA cm-2.

Alkaline hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) is constrained by the Sabatier principle, making it challenging to simultaneously optimize water dissociation and hydrogen desorption. Here, we report a spatially decoupled tandem catalyst, Co(OH) 2 @Mo 2 C, that circumvents this constraint via a hydroxyl-mediated hydrogen spillover pathway. Mo 2 C serves as the *H generation site via rapid water dissociation, while adjacent Co(OH) 2 functions as the *H acceptor and recombination center, with abundant surface hydroxyl groups on Co(OH) 2 accelerating hydrogen spillover from Mo 2 C to Co(OH) 2 and sustaining water dissociation kinetics. CH 3 I poisoning experiments, corroborated by in situ Raman spectroscopy and density functional theory calculations, reveal the critical mediating role of hydroxyl groups in hydrogen migration. The optimized catalyst achieves only 43 mV overpotential to reach 10 mA cm −2 in 1 M KOH, and durability over 150 h at 0.5 A cm −2 in an anion exchange membrane water electrolyzer. This work establishes a generalizable interfacial engineering strategy to circumvent the Sabatier limitation by accelerating hydrogen migration on spatially segregating elementary steps. A spatially decoupled Co(OH) 2 @Mo 2 C tandem electrocatalyst shows that Mo 2 C rapidly dissociates water while Co(OH) 2 efficiently shuttles *H to accelerate H 2 release, where Co(OH) 2 abundant surface hydroxyl groups accelerate hydrogen spillover from Mo 2 C to Co(OH) 2 and maintain water dissociation kinetics.

Birefringent crystals, as core materials for polarization modulation, hold significant importance for the advancement of laser polarizing technology, high-precision instruments, and other optical communication fields today. However, balancing the deep ultraviolet (DUV) cutoff edge and birefringence remains a demanding challenge. Borophosphates have emerged as a promising research direction for optoelectronic functional materials, but the small birefringence of most borophosphates limits their applications. Here, a novel mixed-coordinated hydroxyborophosphate, NH4B3PO6(OH)3, has been successfully designed and obtained. This compound belongs to the triclinic space group P1 (No. 2), exhibiting pronounced birefringence (the experimental refractive index difference value is 0.057 at 546 nm) and a short DUV cutoff edge below 200 nm. These properties indicate that NH4B3PO6(OH)3 exhibits excellent potential as a DUV birefringent material.

Photocatalysis is widely regarded as one of the most promising and environmentally friendly approaches for formaldehyde elimination. Currently, there is an urgent need for highly efficient visible-light-driven photocatalysts. In this study, a graphite-hydroxylated multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNTs-OH)-modified AgInS₂ (AIS) composite, designated as MWCNTs-OH/AgInS 2 (MA), was successfully synthesized via a simple in situ low-temperature liquid-phase method. Compared to unmodified AIS, the 5 % MA composite exhibits enhanced visible-light absorption, accelerated electron transport, and significantly improved photogenerated electron-hole pair separation efficiency. Consequently, the 5 % MA demonstrates superior degradation activity for high-concentration formaldehyde (1710 ppm), achieving a degradation efficiency of 67 % after 2 h of visible-light irradiation. The incorporation of 5 % MWCNTs-OH enhances gaseous formaldehyde degradation efficiency by 28 %, regardless of whether a 420 nm cutoff filter is used. Additionally, the 5 % MA photocatalyst shows excellent recyclability and stability during prolonged photocatalytic tests. Mechanism studies based on spectroscopic, electrochemical, and active species analyses reveal the pathway for MA-mediated visible-light photocatalytic formaldehyde degradation. This work provides a practical strategy for designing efficient and environmentally benign photocatalysts for formaldehyde removal.

Palladium (Pd) nanoparticles in combination with naturally abundant materials are stable and highly active catalysts for hydrogen production . Herein, Co(OH) 2 nanosheet arrays are prepared hydrothermally on graphene/nickel foam (graphene/NF) to produce Co(OH) 2 /graphene/NF which provides the desirable three-dimensional (3D) substrate for subsequent Pd electrodeposition to obtain Pd/Co(OH) 2 /graphene/NF. The materials exhibit excellent durability and catalytic performance in the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) in an alkaline environment such as a low overpotential of 124 mV at 10 mA cm −2 and Tafel slop of 53 mVdec −1 . The excellent performance is attributed to the synergistic catalytic effects rendered by the nanostructured interfaces between the Pd nanoparticles and Co(OH) 2 nanosheet arrays as well as large surface area . The technique and materials have large potential in energy conversion applications.

Experiments on the flame propagation of starch dust explosion with the participation of ultrafine Mg(OH) 2 in a vertical duct were conducted to reveal the inerting evolution of explosion processes. Combining the dynamic behaviors of flame propagation, the formation law of gaseous combustion products , and the heat dissipation features of solid inert particles, the inerting mechanism of explosion flame propagation is discussed. Results indicate that the ultrafine of Mg(OH) 2 powders can cause the agglomeration of suspended dust clouds, which makes the flame combustion reaction zone fragmented and forms multiple small flame regions. The flame reaction zone presents non-homogeneous insufficient combustion, which leads to the obstruction of the explosion flame propagation process and the obvious pulsation propagation phenomenon. As the proportion of ultrafine Mg(OH) 2 increases, flame speed, flame luminescence intensity, flame temperature and deflagration pressure all show different degrees of inerting behavior. The addition of ultrafine Mg(OH) 2 not only causes partial inerting on the explosion flame, but also the heat dissipation of solid inert particles affects the acceleration of its propagation. The explosion flame propagation is inhibited by the synergistic effect of inert gas-solid phase, which attenuates the risk of starch explosion. The gas-solid synergistic inerting mechanism of starch explosion flame propagation by ultrafine Mg(OH) 2 is further revealed.

The green synthesis process of photocatalytic ammonia production has received more and more attentions. Herein, a Z-scheme heterojunction with all-solid-state structures is constructed, in which carbon dots can act as electron transferring mediators. The photocatalytic measurement shows that the modified photocatalysts exhibit much higher activities, in which the ammonia production rates can reach above 232 µmol·g cal -1 ·h −1 under the light irradiation. The improved catalytic properties can be credited to the significantly increased number of photoinduced oxygen vacancies, the excellent visible-light adsorption abilities and photogenerated electron-hole separation efficiencies for the carbon dots bridged heterostructures. More hydroxyl and superoxide radicals can be simultaneously produced in the composites. This work provides reasonable guidance for applications in photocatalytic ammonia synthesis and a promising construction strategy of efficient Z-scheme photocatalysts.

Ca(OH)2nanoparticles are effective materials for cultural heritage restoration, hazardous substance absorption and photocatalyst. However, many methods are complex, and the particle sizes are usually above 80–100 nm, involving mediocre efficacy for application in the stone restoration field. In this work, Nano Ca(OH)2with diameters less than 70 nm and composited with Graphene Quantum Dots (GQDs) were successfully synthesized in aqueous media. The morphology and structure of the nanoparticles were investigated with TEM, HRTEM, XRD, Raman and FTIR. The particle size distribution and relative kinetic stability of the Ca(OH)2in ethanol were performed using a laser particle size analyzer and spectrophotometer. Firstprinciple calculations based on the spin-polarized density functional theory (DFT) were carried out to study the reaction process and combination model. The nanoparticles, as prepared, are composed of primary hexagonal crystals and high ammoniated precursors, which have a positive effect on reducing the grain size, and interacted with the GQDs hybrid process. According to the First-principle calculations results, the energy variation of the whole reaction process and the bonding mode between Ca(OH)2and GQDs can be understood better.Keywords:Ca(OH)2;Graphene Quantum Dots;DFT;complex;nanoparticles

This study aims to explore the effects of different Ca(OH) 2 contents on the mechanical performance and corrosion behaviors of steel in Calcium sulfoaluminate (CSA) cement, where compressive strength, corrosion potentials of reinforcements, corrosion current density, pH of pore solution as well as mortar resistivity of CSA/Ca(OH) 2 mortar were researched, and the corrosion behaviors were further interpreted by the clarification of hydration phases through microstructural analyses. The initial results highlighted the positive effects of using adequate Ca(OH) 2 (~ 6%) in CSA mortar in terms of strength, yet its excessive addition could delay the subsequent hydration reaction of CSA. Meanwhile, with an increased quantity of Ca(OH) 2 , the amount of some hydration phases, such as Al(OH) 3 reduced, resulting from their reaction with Ca(OH) 2 . Finally, the corrosion current density increased with the reduced mortar resistivity when the reinforcement in CSA/Ca(OH) 2 system was corroded, and their relationship was also provided in this study.
