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.

One important issue limiting the development of Cu 2 ZnSn(S,Se) 4 (CZTSSe) solar cells is the severe recombination loss at CZTSSe/Mo(S,Se) 2 /Mo back contact, primarily arising from the non-matched potential barrier and inferior electric contact between absorber and weak n -type Mo(S,Se) 2 interfacial layer. It is expected that a p-type Mo(S,Se) 2 can effectively improve the hole extraction and enhance the device performance. In this work, we propose a plausible direction to build up an electrically benign back surface field by in-situ doping Mo(S,Se) 2 with group VB elements (TM = V, Nb and Ta). It is turned out that the generated V Mo , Nb Mo , or Ta Mo shallow acceptors could convert Mo(S,Se) 2 from weak n -type to p-type conductivity and increase its work function ( W F ) and hole concentration. With the contact of p-type absorber ( W F,absorber < W F,Mo(S,Se)₂ ), a benign ohmic contact with favorable downward band bending is formed, thereby accelerating the holes extraction and minimizing interface recombination loss. With significant gains in open-circuit voltage ( V oc ) and fill factor (FF), the Mo(S,Se) 2 :Ta device finally increases the efficiency from 10.82 % to 12.72 %. This convenient in-situ Mo(S,Se) 2 doping strategy is different from previous complicated or unstable cases and should serve as a basis for high-quality back contact engineering in kesterite photovoltaics.

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 .

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.

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.

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.

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.

Membrane fouling is a serious problem that limits the widespread application of membrane technology. Herein, we propose an effective modification method by in-situ modifying polyethersulfone (PES) ultrafiltration membrane with tannic acid (TA) and Fe 3+ chelates to improve its pollution resistance. The TA-Fe 3+ complexes could deposit on the PES membrane surface and form a hydration layer by Van Der Waals force, hydrogen bonding force, and hydrophobic association. The modified membrane (PES\TA\Fe 3+ ) had enhanced fouling resistance and membrane flux due to its dual advantages of abundant OH groups and favorable spatial structure. After modification, the roughness of membrane surface increased from 219 nm to 257 nm, and its water contact angle decreased from 58.9° to 26.5°, endowing the PES\TA\Fe 3+ membrane with a strong resistance to oil droplets through electrostatic repulsion, steric hindrance effect, and hydrogen bonding force. Polyaluminum chloride-polydimethyldiallylammonium chloride (PAC-PDMDAAC) could alleviate 85 % membrane fouling resistance. PAC-PDMDAAC mainly mitigated irreversible membrane fouling by removing oil droplets and forming large and loose flocs. While the use of PES\TA\Fe 3+ membrane mainly reduced the adsorption resistance and the resistance of membrane itself. The anti-fouling performance of PES\TA\Fe 3+ membrane changed with pH owing to the changes in the properties of TA-Fe 3+ complexes. The hydrophilic layer would be decomposed under alkaline conditions due to the deprotonation of TA and excessive hydrolysis of Fe 3+ . This study provides an efficient anti-fouling strategy and reveals the modification and anti-fouling mechanisms of the hydrophilic membrane, providing theoretical guidance for the further development of membrane technology.

Improving the bond strength of wood emulsion adhesives is an ongoing challenge for the wood-processing industry. In this study, PVAc/PS core-shell emulsion particles are functionalized by forming coordination complexes between natural biomaterial tannic acid (TA) and Fe 3+ . The functionalized emulsion particles are assembled on the surface of the core template SiO 2 to form a “superstructure” through hydrogen bonding between the phenolic hydroxyl groups in the TA and the hydroxyl groups on the surface of SiO 2 , which can enhance the cohesive strength of the emulsion adhesive layer, thereby increasing the peel strength of wood adhesives. The results indicated that the functionalized emulsion particles were most effectively assembled on core template SiO 2 particles when the ratio of TA to Fe 3+ was 1:1 and the encapsulation rate of the assembled SiO 2 particles was 150 %. The glass transition temperatures (Tg1 and Tg2), storage modulus, tensile strength, and hardness of the assembled PVAc/PS emulsion film were measured by DSC, DMA, tensile testing machine, and durometer. These properties increased by 11.6 %, 5.3 %, 14.9 %, 127.6 %, and 46.3 %, respectively, compared to those of the PVAc/PS emulsion film. Further, the shear strength of the assembled PVAc/PS emulsion for bonding wood blocks and the peel strength for bonding thin veneers increased by 33.8 and 35.7 %, respectively, compared to those of the PVAc/PS emulsion. This study confirmed that using a modular assembly to improve PVAc/PS emulsion bonding properties can help formulate high-performance waterborne emulsion adhesives with promising applications in the field of thin-wood veneer bonding. This strategy provides an effective method to design and build environmentally friendly, low-cost, and high-performance water-based emulsion adhesives.
