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.

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.

Flash sintering is considered a promising energy-saving and efficient technology for preparing high-temperature ceramics. The effects of limited current on flash sintering parameters, microstructure, and electrical properties of (La 1/2 , Ta 1/2 ) 0.02 Ti 0.98 O 2 ceramic were investigated by the XRD, SEM, XPS, and precision impedance analyzer. With limiting current increase, the grain size of flash sintering sample increases gradually, and the relative density increases first and then decreases. The average grain size is about 1 μm, and the highest relative density is 96.9%. Joule heating runaway and oxygen vacancy defect lead to rapid densification of flash sintering La and Ta co-doped TiO 2 ceramics. According to the EPDD model, doped La 3+ and Ta 5+ ions increase the concentration of oxygen vacancies and free electrons, lead to local polarization of carriers, and obtain a giant dielectric constant of ε ’ = 7.6 × 10 4 and low dielectric loss of tanδ = 0.11. At high temperature, electrons break free from the constraints of defect clusters and accumulate at the interface, leading to interface polarization due to the IBLC model. The giant dielectric properties originate from the combined effect of EPDD and IBLC model.

Currently, surfactant-containing oil–water emulsions are the more difficult part of oily wastewater to treat because of their small droplet size and stable oil–water interface. Membrane separation technology is commonly used for emulsion separation due to its surface wettability and adjustable pore size. Here, tannic acid (TA) and 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane prepolymerization solutions are used as the exchange solvents, allowing growth on the surface and inside of polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF). Among them, the content of lithium chloride (LCM) hydrate modulates the range and amount of growth. In the pressure range of 0.1–0.7 bar, the modified hydrophilic PVDF-TA/LCM-2 membranes exhibit high pure water permeation fluxes and emulsion separation efficiencies that can be adapted to different separation conditions. At 0.2 bar, the PVDF-TA/LCM-2 achieves pure water permeate flux and emulsion separation fluxes of 1860 and 648 L m -2 h −1 bar −1 , and an emulsion separation efficiency of 99.5 %. In addition, for different kinds of oil-in-water emulsions, the high separation fluxes and high separation efficiencies indicate that PVDF-TA/LCM-2has good emulsion separation performance.

Flocculation is one of the most significant conditioning methods for sludge dewatering. In the study, a novel flocculant CS–TA, prepared through free radical-mediated conjugation of tannic acid (TA) and chitosan (CS), was proposed to improve sludge dewatering. The characterisation using Fourier transform infra-red spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction analysis shows that the CS chain was the backbone of CS–TA, and the presence of CS–TA aromatic rings confirmed the conjugation of CS with TA. Moreover, the conditioning of CS–TA yielded the best dewatering performance at 30 mg g TS−1 with the water content of sludge cake by press filtration (Wsc) of 59.78% ± 0.3% and capillary suction time (CST) of 11.8s ± 0.35 s, compared to 98.2% ± 0.15% and 56.2 s ± 0.16 in raw sludge. The results of different influencing factors (e.g. pH and temperature) on flocculation efficiency indicated that CS–TA possessed the capacity for enhancing sludge dewaterability over a wide range of pH, and the optimal temperature was observed to be 35 °C. Furthermore, the increase of particle size and zeta potential implied the addition of CS–TA favoured the formation of larger particles charge neutralisation and adsorption bridging effect. In addition, extracellular polymer substances (EPS) analysis indicated that the decrease in the polysaccharide and protein contents in EPS after CS–TA addition could increase the relative hydrophobicity of sludge. Moreover, the contents of heavy metals in sludge and their leaching toxicity and environmental risk were reduced. This study provides comprehensive insights into the exploration of CS–TA for sludge dewatering and the maintenance of ecological security in an eco-friendly.

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) have been widely found in water bodies and may generate negative impacts on the ecosystem. Eectrocoagulation (EC) with a zinc anode is an effective technology to remove PFASs but the dominating interaction forces between zinc flocs and PFASs are still not well elucidated. In this study, we used hexafluoropropylene oxide trimer acid (HFPO-TA), a new perfluorooctanoic acid substitute, as a model to investigate the influence of EC operational parameters on its removal efficiency, including the current density, the pH value, and the electrolyte type. 99 % removal of 40 μM HFPO-TA were achieved in 3-h at optimal conditions. The extended Derjaguin-Landau-Verwey-Overbeek (XDLVO) theory was innovatively applied to reveal the interfacial free energies between zinc flocs and HFPO-TA and other PFASs. It was found that the hydrophobic force can significantly promote the adsorption of HFPO-TA on the surface of zinc flocs and a strong correlation may exist between the calculated total interfacial free energies and the pseudo-first-order kinetic constants of removing PFASs. FT-IR spectra indicated the specific interactions occurring between carboxylate head groups and zinc flocs. These findings advance the mechanistic understanding of PFASs removal by metal flocs and could support the development of electrocoagulation for removing PFASs.

Recently, heterogeneous catalysts prepared by two phase metals were commonly used to activate PMS degradation. However, the synergistic effects of Zn and other metals on the activation of PMS were infrequently studied. In this work, novel PVDF@TA-ZIF-67/8 nanofibers were prepared successfully by first mineralization and then in-situ growth. The prepared PTZ70 exhibited an evidently higher photocatalytic activity than PVDF, PTC, PTZ0, PTZ10 and PTZ100 to degradation OFX (96.5 %). The effects of the mass ratio of Co and Zn, PMS dosage, coexisting ions and organic solvents on the degradation of OFX were concretely investigated. The radical trapping experiment and mechanism analysis showed that the synergistic effect of Co and Zn played a key role in PMS activation, accelerating the generation of 1 O 2 and •O 2 – . Combining the discussion of influencing factors and LC-MS analysis, four OFX degradation pathways were illustrated. In particular, we observed that the degradation OFX of PTZ70 was only slightly reduced by 5.6 % after five cycling, indicating the reusability, good stability and high environmental suitability of PTZ70 performance . This study offers a novel path for the design of catalytic membranes with controllable heterogeneous metal doping.

Strong winds can make a bridge's cable-stayed cables produce violent vibrations, leading to fatigue of the cable-stayed cables and damaging the cable-stayed bridge's structure. Accurately and effectively obtaining data on the wind loads applied to the cable-stayed cables is important for assessing the cable-stayed cables' health. The existing sensing elements for detection include diffusion silicon piezoresistive sensor, strain gauge, and other rigid sensors. However, most of them present such disadvantages as rigidity, difficult to fit the curved surface, high cost and low sensitivity. And it cannot be directly installed on the surface of the cable. In this paper, a conductive hydrogel flexible pressure sensor based on TA/CB@PDMS was developed, using carbon black (CB) as the main conductive medium, with good electrical conductivity, high sensitivity (0.65 kPa−1) and excellent tensile properties (210% tensile breakage). Meanwhile, a salt permeation method (Soak the sensor in LiBr solution) was used to effectively inhibit the sensor's water from being evaporated and frozen. Its substrate incorporates tannic acid to increase the sensor's adhesion so that it adheres well to the diagonal cable's surface. In this paper, the wind speed variation around the diagonal cable and the force distribution on the surface with considering the fluid-structure coupling effect are analyzed by ANSYS WORKBECH finite element simulation. Wind tunnel experiments simulate the sensor's force response when the inclined cable is subjected to different wind speeds, and the detection accuracy reaches 96.17%. The results show the sensor developed in this paper can realize accurate wind pressure detection of the inclined cable. This study provides a new method for wind pressure detection and health inspection of diagonal cables.

Ti 4 O 7 is one of the most promising electrically functional materials among the Magnéli phase. To further broaden its applications in areas such as battery electrodes and pollutant treatment, extensive research has been conducted to optimize its mechanical and electrical properties. In this study, Ti 4 O 7 ceramics, as well as Al 2 O 3 and Ta 2 O 5 -doped Ti 4 O 7 ceramics, are fabricated via hot-press sintering using a solid-state method. While the introduction of secondary phases did not result in a significant improvement in the mechanical properties of Ti 4 O 7 ceramics, the effectiveness of Al–Ta co-doping in enhancing electrical conductivity is validated through three commonly used measurement techniques: the Van der Pauw method, the two-probe method, and the four-probe method, yielding conductivity increases of 46.20, 1.98, and 17.98%, respectively. Detailed electrical characterization further elucidated the electrical features of polycrystalline Ti 4 O 7 ceramics and effect of doping. Furthermore, the reaction between Ti 4 O 7 and Ta 2 O 5 , leading to the formation of the ternary oxide TiTaO 4 , is observed.

The intricate contaminants in wastewater, such as organic dyes, pathogenic bacteria, and immiscible oils, have led to significant environmental challenges. These pollutants are detrimental to both ecological systems and human well-being and cannot be effectively removed through wastewater purification using a single material or process. To address this issue, a multifunctional three-dimensional porous polyurethane (PU) sponge was designed. In this research, surface coating technology was applied to modify PU sponge through a facile impregnation method with the addition of a mixed solution containing tannic acid (TA) and aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES). Owing to the presence of secondary active reaction sites in the TA–APTES coating, TA–APTES@PU could function as a reactive substrate, facilitating subsequent modifications. TA–APTES@PU was first directly immersed in silver ammonium solution for the reduction of silver ions. Ag nanoparticles can be uniformly distributed and immobilized in situ on TA–APTES@PU, which was accomplished by the residual hydroxyl groups in the TA–APTES coating. The resultant Ag@TA–APTES@PU showed superior catalytic activities in the reduction of organic dye contaminants in aqueous solutions, achieving complete degradation of RhB within 4 minutes, with an apparent rate constant (kapp) of 1.1829 min−1. Ag@TA–APTES@PU also showed excellent antibacterial activities against both gram-positive and gram-negative pathogenic bacteria. TA–APTES@PU was subsequently modified with a low-surface-energy chemical octadecylamine (ODA), converting the TA–APTES coating directly into a superhydrophobic coating (ODA@TA–APTES@PU), which was suitable for treating oily wastewater. Furthermore, Ag@TA–APTES@PU and ODA@TA–APTES@PU also exhibited remarkable recyclability in the context of dye reduction and oil–water separation, respectively. The results indicated that the TA–APTES coating could serve as an excellent platform for the fabrication of multifunctional materials with desirable properties, making it a highly potential option for the treatment of water contaminated by dyes, bacteria, and oils.
