Slime coating is a common problem in mineral flotation and this study explored a novel idea to mitigate slime coating to improve mineral flotation. Guided by the previous work, Pluronic triblock copolymer F-127 (PEO 100 PPO 65 PEO 100 ) was chosen to mitigate fine quartz coating in fluorite flotation. Then the mechanism underpinning the mitigation of fine quartz coating on fluorite surface by F-127 and the interaction of F-127 with collector sodium oleate on quartz and fluorite surfaces were studied. It was found that F-127 adsorbed on both quartz and fluorite surfaces and therefore mitigated fine quartz coating on fluorite surface through steric repulsion. The adsorbed F-127 on fluorite surface also enhanced the adsorption of sodium oleate but had little effect on the adsorption of sodium oleate on quartz surface. The mitigation of fine quartz coating and enhanced adsorption of sodium oleate on fluorite surface explain the significantly improved fluorite flotation in the presence of fine quartz particles after the addition of F-127.

In this paper, a novel Cu/F co-doping strategy is proposed to modify the electrochemical performance of Sr 2 Fe 1.5 Mo 0.5 O 6– δ (SFM) cathode for intermediate-temperature solid oxide fuel cells (IT-SOFCs). The pristine SFM, Cu-doped Sr 2 Fe 1.4 Cu 0.1 Mo 0.5 O 6− δ (SFCM) and Cu/F co-doped Sr 2 Fe 1.4 Cu 0.1 Mo 0.5 O 5.9− δ F 0.1 (SFCMF) powders were synthesized by acid-glycine combustion method, and the impacts of Cu/F co-doping on the performance of SFM cathode were investigated systematically. It's found that Cu-doped SFCM has higher oxygen vacancy content and electrical conductivity than the pristine SFM and Cu/F co-doped SFCMF cathodes. While the Coulombic force between B-sites metallic ions and oxygen ions are significantly weaken for SFCMF, enhancing the mobility of lattice oxygen. Due to the combined effects of Cu and F doping, SFCMF cathode exhibits the best electrochemical performance among all investigated samples. At 600 °C, the polarization resistant for SFCMF cathode is 1.79 Ω cm 2 , decreased by 43.71 % in contrast to the parent SFM cathode. These results indicate that Cu/F co-doping is an effective strategy to improve the electrochemical properties of perovskite cathode materials.

Comprehending the catalytic reaction implementation for heterostructure photocatalysts is crucial by scrutinizing the spatial separation and transfer process of photoexcited charges at nanoscale junctions. Herein, we fabricated the F-doped TiO 2 /ZnIn 2 S 4 -based S-scheme heterostructure using a direct liquid-assembly method. The optimum hydrogen evolution rate (HER) of ∼ 1.58 mmol g –1 h –1 was acquired for 30-F 3 T@ZIS, which was about 15 and 2 times superior to the pristine F-doped TiO 2 and ZnIn 2 S 4 , respectively. The interaction between F-doped TiO 2 and ZnIn 2 S 4 facilitated the charge transfer from ZIS to F 3 T which was confirmed through XPS. UV–vis spectroscopy and Mott–Schottky validated that F-doped TiO 2 and ZnIn 2 S 4 retain the suitable energy band alignment for the S-scheme heterostructure. In situ, KPFM and EPR analysis revealed that F-doped TiO 2 and ZnIn 2 S 4 possess a spontaneous photoelectrochemical response, and their junction significantly improves the internal electric field by separating photoexcited charge carriers. This work provides a conclusive experimental and theoretical validation for an internal electric field and charge flow direction in non-noble-metal-based heterostructure photocatalysts.

Pure ZnO exhibits low photocatalytic H 2 O 2 production activity due to the rapid charge recombination. To realize the spatial separation of photogenerated electrons and holes, constructing an electron transfer channel on the ZnO surface is an effective approach. This study successfully modified the surface of ZnO using F – (ZnO/F) by introducing NH 4 F in an aqueous phase photocatalytic system. The F – is adsorbed on the ZnO surface by Coulombic force and significantly improves the photocatalytic H 2 O 2 production performance of ZnO, with the highest efficiency of 4137.2 μmol·g –1 ·L –1 ·h –-1 . The photocatalytic performance enhancement mechanism of ZnO/F is explained in terms of electron transfer dynamics by femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy (fs-TAS) measurements. F – surface modification constructs a new ultrafast electron transport pathway from the ZnO CB to F – , and the optimal ZnO/F exhibits the fastest interfacial electron transfer lifetime of 5.8 ps. The F – surface modification effectively facilitates the charge separation, thereby increasing the number of electrons available for photocatalytic H 2 O 2 reaction. This study has revealed the roles of F – surface modification in the photocatalytic H 2 O 2 production by ZnO and provides guidance for ionic modification to improve photocatalytic performance.

Cation regulation is a compelling strategy for developing new compounds with optimized crystal structure by atomic-scale manipulation. Herein, we report two new SBBO-like fluoroberyllium borates, SrMgBe₂(BO₃)₂F₂ (SMBBF) and SrZnBe₂(BO₃)₂F₂ (SZBBF). They crystallize in a trigonal system and feature a [Be₃B₃O₆F₃]∞ single layer stabilized by the incorporation of Mg²⁺/Zn²⁺ cations and F⁻ cations. Both compounds exhibit deep-UV absorption edges below 200 nm. Theoretical calculations confirm their potential as deep-UV birefringent materials, with correspinding birefringence values of 0.064 (SMBBF) and 0.063 (SZBBF) at 589 nm, respectively. This work demonstrates the effectiveness of cation regulation in designing novel borate-based optical materials.

Li 3 VO 4 is one of the most promising candidates for high performance lithium-ion batteries due to its high specific capacity and excellent ionic conductivity , while its practical applications are hindered, because of its inferior rate capability. Herein, we adopted an anionic doping strategy to improve electronic conductivity, cycling stability and accelerate electrochemical kinetics. A series of F − doped Li 3 VO 4 samples were synthesized by a modified sol-gel method for the first time. F − doping led to the appearance of oxygen vacancies and reduced band gap, which effectively improve electronic conductivity. Complete structural rearrangement and optimized SEI layers also occurred during cycling, beneficial for stable lifetime. As a consequence, long cycle life (cycling 1100 loops at 500 mA g −1 except for the first 5 loops at 100 mA g −1 ) and optimized rate capability (255 mA h g −1 at 1000 mA g −1 ) were achieved for 5 at% F doping, which are superior to those for undoped samples. This work demonstrates that anion doping is a feasible strategy to accelerate electrons/ions transfer and improve cycling stability of Li 3 VO 4 .

There is a high prevalence of ventricular arrhythmias related to sudden cardiac death in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). To explored the possible mechanism of CKD-related ventricular arrhythmias, a CKD rat model was created, and indoxyl sulfate (IS) was further used in vivo and in vitro. This project used the following methods: patch clamp, electrocardiogram, and some molecular biology experimental techniques. IS was found to be significantly elevated in the serum of CKD rats. Interestingly, the expression levels of the fast transient outward potassium current–related (I to,f -related) proteins (Kv4.2, Kv4.3, and KChIP2) in the heart of CKD rats and rats treated with IS decreased. IS dose-dependently reduced I to,f density, accompanied by the decreases in Kv4.2, Kv4.3, and KChIP2 proteins in vitro. IS also prolonged the action potential duration and QT interval, and paroxysmal ventricular tachycardia could be induced by IS. In-depth studies have shown that ROS/p38MAPK, ROS–p44/42 MAPK, and NF-κB signaling pathways play key roles in the reduction of I to,f density and I to,f -related proteins caused by IS. These data suggest that IS reduces I to,f -related proteins and I to,f density by activating ROS/MAPK and NF-κB signaling pathways, and the action potential duration and QT interval are subsequently prolonged, which contributes to increasing the susceptibility to arrhythmia in CKD.

CeO 2 is a promising electrolyte for intermediate-temperature solid oxide fuel cells (IT-SOFCs). Studies have found that F-doping improves its ionic conductivity, but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Therefore, this study employs a DFT+U method to calculate geometrical and electronic structures and oxygen ion migrations of Gd-, Ca- and F-dopings co-doped CeO 2 . The calculated results are verified by our experiment. DFT calculations find that oxygen vacancies (V) are easily formed at next-neighboring sites near the F - ions, different with the case of Gd- and Ca-doped CeO 2 . Gd-, Ca- and F-dopings strengthen Ce-O bonds, inconstant with the result from the reported experimental hypothesis for the F-doping. The F-doping restrains the change of Ce 4+ to Ce 3+ . Migration energy barriers E m of oxygen ions are mainly affected by the migration distances and peripherally done by the oxygen vacancy cavity size and the defect association. Due to the lager oxygen vacancy cavity size and the smaller defect association in CGOF and CGOCF, the F-dopings have the smaller E m . This is contrary to the speculation of the reported experimental study based on the electronegative comparison of F and O. Our experiment finds that Ca and F co-doping significantly increases the conductivity, 3.9 times of the conductivity of Gd-doped CeO 2 . The study clarifies the nature mechanism of the ionic conductivity in doped CeO 2 , offering atomic-level insights to aid the development of high-performance CeO 2 -based electrolytes.

A surface functional group modulation method was used to regulate the NO 2 sensing performance of the Ti 3 C 2 T x sensor. The monolayer Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene was synthesized from Ti 3 AlC 2 (MAX phase) by hydrofluoric acid (HF) etching. Ar/O 2 hybrid plasma treatment was used to regulate the ratio of hydroxyl and fluorine functional groups (OH/ F) in the Ti 3 C 2 T x surface structure. Room-temperature (RH) NO 2 sensor based on modified Ti 3 C 2 T x was fabricated by the dip coating method. The modified Ti 3 C 2 T x sensor has a higher gas response (45.31 %) to 50 ppm NO 2 compared with the untreated Ti 3 C 2 T x sensor which shows more excellent sensitivity and linearity with the NO 2 concentration of 5–50 ppm. It is due to that the presence of the hydroxyl potential on the Ti 3 C 2 T x surface well amplifies the electronic surface activity of Ti 3 C 2 T x . Concurrently, the modified electronic structure augments the adsorption propensity of Ti 3 C 2 T x for O 2 (2.26 |eV|) and NO 2 (3.24 |eV|), thereby improving the NO 2 sensing capability of the Ti 3 C 2 T x sensor. These results demonstrate that Ti 3 C 2 T x with a high ratio of OH/ F functional groups has great potential in developing high-performance room temperature NO 2 sensors.

Overcoming the mismatched adsorption energies is critical for efficient alkaline hydrogen electrocatalysis, yet modulating the strong Ru–O covalency without compromising structural integrity remains a key challenge. Herein, we address this by introducing ionic Ru–F bonds into selected regions of RuO 2 via tailored chemical bond engineering for enhanced hydrogen evolution and oxidation reactions (HER/HOR). Using fluorine‑doped amorphous RuO 2 (F‑RuO 2 ) nanosheets as a model catalyst, we find that electrons around fluorine atoms can become highly localized, forming ionic-character Ru–F bonds. This design results in a low HER overpotential of 32 mV at 100 mA cm −2 and delivers a high HOR diffusion-limiting current density of 2.98 mA cm −2 , positioning F-RuO 2 among the best‑performing Ru‑based electrocatalysts yet reported. Moreover, the anion-exchange-membrane water electrolyzer with F-RuO 2 can maintain a cell voltage of 1.60 V at 100 mA cm −2 for over 300 h with negligible degradation. In-situ spectroscopic analysis and density functional theory calculations reveal that the formed Ru–F bonds weaken Ru–O covalency and moderately lower the Ru oxidation states, optimizing hydrogen‑intermediate adsorption toward the ideal range and enhancing both HER and HOR electrocatalysis. This work offers fundamental insights into covalent‑bond modulation in amorphous oxides and establishes a generalizable design paradigm for high-performance electrocatalysts in sustainable energy conversion. The ionic Ru–F bonds reduce the covalency of RuO 2 and optimize the adsorption behaviour of the Ru sites, enabling F‑RuO 2 to exhibit superior reaction kinetics and catalytic activity in both HER and HOR.

The highly efficient performance of photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting is largely governed by the construction of active interfaces, especially for the star semiconductor/electrocatalyst system. However, traditional strategies struggle to optimize this critical process. To overcome this challenge, we report a fluorine (F) engineering strategy that enables the synchronous modulation of charge transfer and surface catalytic reaction dynamics in a BiVO4/FeCoOOH-integrated photoanode. Various characterization methods confirm that F engineering can activate the BiVO4/FeCoOOH/electrolyte interfaces. Benefiting from these positive effects, the optimized BiVO4/FeCoOOH-F photoanode achieves a relatively high photocurrent density of 5.46 mA/cm2at 1.23 V vs. RHE, along with outstanding photostability and a small Tafel slope of 96.5 mV dec−1. This study provides new insights into F-based interface manipulation, offering a promising route to developing high-performance semiconductor/electrocatalyst systems for efficient and stable PEC water splitting applications.
