Nb 3 (Al 1– x Zn x ) ( x = 0–0.05) wires were obtained after single rapid heating, quenching and low temperature transformation (single-RHQT) process. It is found that Zn element can make crystal plane diffraction peaks of Nb 3 Al phase shift to higher angle, and the interplanar crystal spacing decreases gradually, which indicates that Al atoms in Nb 3 Al lattice are replaced by Zn atoms with smaller diameters. And the addition of Zn can reduce Δ T c and make the superconducting phases purer, and magnetic performances such as critical temperature ( T c ), critical current density ( J c ), irreversible field ( B irr ) are better than that of the pure sample. Nb 3 (Al 0.99 Zn 0.01 ) wire shows the highest J c value of about 5.9 × 10 4 A/cm 2 at 4.2 K and 8 T, and the highest T c value of 16.8 K was found in Nb 3 (Al 0.98 Zn 0.02 ). The influence of multiple rapid heating, quenching and low temperature transformation (multi-RHQT) process on Nb 3 (Al 1– x Zn x ) wires was mainly explored, and 2 at% and 3 at% Zn samples were selected with relatively high Δ T c values for five times RHQT treatment. It is observed that the multi-RHQT process can further reduce Δ T c , and more homogeneous superconducting phases are discovered compared with that of single-RHQT process. The elements are also evenly distributed in the multi-RHQT-processed Nb 3 (Al 1– x Zn x ) wires, leading to the improvement of J c , B irr performances compared to single-RHQT samples. Multi-RHQT-processed Nb 3 (Al 0.98 Zn 0.02 ) and Nb 3 (Al 0.97 Zn 0.03 ) samples show the J c values of 1.7 × 10 5 A/cm 2 and 1.2 × 10 5 A/cm 2 (4.2 K, 8 T), which are nearly ten times as many as that of single-RHQT samples, and Nb 3 (Al 0.97 Zn 0.03 ) has the highest B irr values of 19.6 T (4.2 K) and 10.7 T (10 K). Flux pinning of the Nb 3 (Al 1– x Zn x ) ( x = 0.01–0.05) wires follows the surface pinning mechanism, where grain boundary and stacking faults are considered as pinning centers.

The control of multiple heavy metals (HMs) pollution in solid wastes, especially the co-contamination of As and other heavy metal cations, is of great importance to ecological and environmental health. To address this problem, the preparation and application of multifunctional materials have attracted wide attention. In this work, a novel Ca-Fe-Si-S composite (CFSS) was applied to stabilize As, Zn, Cu, and Cd in acid arsenic slag (ASS). The CFSS exhibited synchronous stabilization ability for As, Zn, Cu, Cd and owned strong acid neutralization capacity. Under simulated field conditions, the acid rain extracted HMs in ASS successfully decreased below the emission standard (GB 3838–2002-IV category in China) after incubated by 5% CFSS for 90 days. Meanwhile, the application of CFSS promoted the transformation of leachable HMs into less accessible forms, which was conductive to the long-term stabilization for HMs. There was competitive relation among the three heavy metal cations, following the stabilization sequence of Cu > Zn > Cd during incubation. And the stabilization mechanisms of HMs by CFSS were proposed as chemical precipitation, surface complexation, and ion/anion exchange. The research will be greatly conducive to the remediation and governance of field multiple HMs contaminated sites.

Hydrogen-evolved Dy-doped Zn(O,S) photocatalysts with different amounts of Dy precursor have been synthesized, characterized and further utilized for hydrogenation reactions. The Dy catalysts are first examined using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, photo responsivity, and the hydrogen evolution reaction. Dy-doped Zn(O,S) with 10% Dy precursor shows the best photocatalyst performance with the highest H2 production rate of 8.160 mmol g−1 h−1. This catalyst is chosen for conducting the hydrogenation reaction. It is our intention to confirm the correlation between the photocatalytic H2 production rate and the hydrogenation reactions of 4-nitrophenol to 4-aminophenol and azobenzene to aniline, which is a step further in the hydrogenation reaction to challenge the NN bond cleavage of azobenzene. A 100% photo conversion of 60 ppm azobenzene to aniline in 6 h was confirmed under a low-power UV light illumination in a 10% ethanol solution. Kinetic steps and kinetic mechanisms are proposed, which involve the important reaction steps of solvation, adsorption, pinning, and surface hydrogenation reaction operating together.

Metal–organic frameworks have been exploited as excellent solid precursors and templates for the preparation integrated nanocatalysts with multicomponent and hierarchical structures. Herein, a novel synthetic protocol has been developed to fabricate versatile Zr-based solid solutions (such as ZnO–ZrO2, Co3O4–ZrO2, and CuO–ZrO2) via pyrolysis of Schiff base-modified UiO-66 octahedrons (size <100 nm), which were then utilized as efficient catalysts for CO2 hydrogenation. The Schiff base serves as an effective bridge to dope secondary metal ions into UiO-66 frameworks with controlled amounts of 0.13–8.8 wt %, which are initially hard to achieve. Interestingly, by simply changing the loading metal ions, the selectivity of C1 hydrogenation products can be facilely tuned. For instance, the maximum CO2 conversion of ZnO–ZrO2, Co3O4–ZrO2, and CuO–ZrO2 solid solutions were 5.8, 11.4, and 22.5%, with the main product selectivity of 70% CH3OH, 92.5% CH4, and 86.7% CO, respectively. Moreover, in situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectra characterization reveals that the significant difference in C1 product selectivity is mainly determined by the balance of *HCOO, *CH3O, and *CO intermediate species over the Zr-based solid solutions.

To investigate the effect of the spacers of S-/O-bridged dipyridylamides on the structures of Co(II)/Zn(II) complexes, [Co(L1)(chda)]·1.5H2O (CP1), [Co(L2)(chda)] (CP2), [Zn(L1)(hip)]·DMA·2H2O (CP3), and [Zn(L2)(hip)]·2.8H2O (CP4) [L1 = N,N′-bis(pyridine-3-yl)thiophene-2,5-dicarboxamide, H2chda = trans-1,4-cyclohexanedicarboxylic acid, L2 = N,N′-bis(pyridine-3-yl)-4,4′-oxybis(benzoic) dicarboxamide, H2hip = 5-hydroxyisophthalic acid, DMA = N,N-dimethylacetamide], have been solvothermally synthesized. X-ray single-crystal diffraction shows that CP1 is a 2-D 3,5-connected network based on Co-L1 linear chains and (Co-chda)2 double chains. CP2 features a 1-D structure derived from 1-D wave-like (Co-chda)2 double chains decorated by terminal L2 ligands. CP3 and CP4 show wave-like (4,4) networks constructed by 1-D Zn-L1 zigzag and Zn-hip zigzag (for CP3)/linear (for CP4) chains. The effect of the spacers of S-/O-bridged dipyridylamides on the structures of the title complexes was discussed. Electrochemical behaviors of CP1–CP2 and solid-state luminescent properties of CP3–CP4 were studied. The luminescence investigations show that CP3 and CP4 are recycled fluorescent probes for environmentally relevant Fe3+ ions. The photocatalytic properties for the degradation of methylene blue (MB) under ultraviolet light irradiation of CP3–CP4 and the recyclable materials after fluorescent sensing Fe3+ ions (named CP3@Fe3+ and CP4@Fe3+) have also been investigated.

A new fabricating approach of Cu nanoneedle with nanoengineered PtRuCu ternary alloy surface grown directly on Cu foam using an in situ integration strategy is proposed in this work. The obtained three−dimensional bifunctional electrode exhibits unique compositional benefits, including good catalytic activity endowed by PtRuCu ternary alloy, high conductivity of base metal, highly−porous and free−standing structure by Cu nanoneedle/Cu foam. The resulting electrode exhibits superior electrocatalytic activity and stability for both oxygen reduction reaction and oxygen evolution reaction in terms of a positive half-wave potential of 0.78 V for oxygen reduction reaction, a small overpotential of 240 mV for oxygen evolution reaction and a high current density retention over 80 h. The obtained Zn−air battery exhibits a high open−circuit voltage of 1.48 V, a high discharge peak power density of 169 mW cm −2 , high specific capacity of 782.9 mA h g −1 at 30 mA cm −2 , better mechanical rechargeability, good cycling stability for 120 h at 30 mA cm −2 . This work holds great promise for the development of high power and energy density metal−air batteries .

3d transition metals or their derivatives encapsulated in nitrogen-doped nanocarbon show promising potential in non-precious metal oxygen electrocatalysts. Herein, we describe the simple construction of a bifunctional oxygen electrocatalyst with a “framework-active sites” structure, namely Fe/Fe3C@C (Fe@C) nanoparticles encapsulated in 3D N-doped graphene and bamboo-like CNTs (Fe@C–NG/NCNTs). The Fe@C structure provides additional electrons on the carbon surface, promoting the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) on adjacent Fe–Nx active sites. The 3D NG hybrid with a bamboo-like CNTs framework facilitates fast reactant diffusion and rapid electron transfer. The optimized sample displays excellent ORR and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) activity, with a potential difference of only 0.84 V; this places it among the best bifunctional ORR/OER electrocatalysts. Most importantly, Zn–air batteries using Fe@C–NG/NCNTs as the cathode catalyst deliver a peak power density of 101.2 mW cm−2 and a specific capacity of 682.6 mA h g−1 (energy density of 764.5 W h kg−1). After 297 continuous cycle tests (99 h), the rechargeable batteries using Fe@C–NG/NCNTs show a voltage gap increase of only 0.13 V, almost half that of Pt/C + Ir/C (0.22 V) under the same conditions. This work provides new insight into advanced electrocatalysts utilizing the structural features of host nanocarbon materials and guest active species toward energy conversion.

Multi-component high entropy oxides (HEOs) have attracted enormous attention due to their unique structures and potential applications. The conventional selection strategy to obtain HEOs is to search for equimolar cationic systems to maximize configurational entropy and avoid phase separation. We previously explored non-equimolar cationic rocksalt structure Mg–Co–Ni–Cu–Zn–O HEOs using cluster-plus-glue-atom model. In this paper, the mixing entropy, enthalpy and Gibbs free energy of constructed superclusters were numerically calculated and compared with the correlated crystal structure based on recent studies. It indicated the Gibbs free energy rather than mixing entropy agrees well with the phase stability of HEOs. Mg 28 Co 17 Ni 19 Cu 16 Zn 16 O 96 shows the optimal phase stability which is related to the lowest Gibbs free energy, reflecting a regular octahedral environment preferred by the cation composition in the system. Enthalpy and entropy are among important design criteria in determining the phase stability of HEOs but the function of enthalpy is obviously higher than that of entropy. This study provides a comprehensive way to access HEOs which is undoubtedly very important for the development of other non-equimolar cationic high entropy materials such as carbides , silicides , borides or nitrides .

Efficient and durable bifunctional catalysts toward oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) are urgently desirable but challenging for rechargeable Zn–air batteries (ZABs), especially flexible wearable ZABs. Inspired by the vine-leaf-whisker structure in nature, we proposed a three-dimensional (3D) hierarchical bifunctional catalyst (denoted as Co–Fe–Zn@N-CNT/CNF) consisting of N-doped carbon nanotubes embedded with abundant CoFe alloy nanoparticles, leaf-shaped N-doped carbon nanoflakes, and porous carbon fibers for rechargeable ZABs. The special biomimetic structure provides a large specific surface area, allowing for high exposure of the active site and ensuring fast mass transport/charge transfer. The close combination of CoFe bimetallic alloys and N-doped carbon nanotubes delivers high electrocatalytic activity, while the coexistence of various active sites such as metal nanoparticles (NPs), metal-Nx, doped N species, and their synergistic interactions endows the catalysts with more active sites. As such, the Co–Fe–Zn@N-CNT/CNF catalyst achieves superior bifunctional catalytic activities for the ORR (a half-wave potential of 0.84 V) and the OER (an overpotential of 326 mV at 10 mA cm–2) in alkaline media, comparable to commercial Pt/C and RuO2. Remarkably, both aqueous and solid-state ZABs assembled with Co–Fe–Zn@N-CNT/CNF catalysts as air electrodes demonstrate excellent charging/discharging performance, high peak power density, and robust long-term cycling stability. More interestingly, the flexible ZAB performs well even under bending conditions, displaying satisfactory device stability and mechanical flexibility. This study presents a new collective morphological-composition-structural engineering strategy for exploiting the efficient bifunctional oxygen electrocatalysts, which is of great significance for high-performance rechargeable ZABs and wearable energy storage devices.

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.

A novel liquid Ca/Zn thermal stabilizer was synthesized from tung-maleic anhydride (TMA) as feedstock and evaluated for its stabilizing effects on poly (vinyl chloride) (PVC). First, N -(3-amino-benzoic acid) tung-maleamic acid (ABTMA) was prepared from the ammonolysis of TMA and para -aminobenzoic acid (PABA). Then its complex calcium salt (ABTMA-Ca) and zinc salt (ABTMA-Zn) were synthesized through a one-step method, and investigated by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and elemental analysis . ABTMA-Ca and ABTMA-Zn were separately treated with diethylene glycol monobutyl ether at 120 °C for 3 h to form liquid ABTMA-Ca (LABTMA-Ca) and liquid ABTMA-Zn (LABTMA-Zn). The effects of LABTMA-Ca/LABTMA-Zn, CaSt 2 /ZnSt 2 and C36DA-Ca/C36DA-Zn on thermal stability of PVC were studied through Congo Red test, discoloration tests and dynamic thermal stability analysis. The LABTMA-Ca/LABTMA-Zn thermal stabilizer exhibit excellent long-term stability. Analysis of tensile and dynamic mechanical properties shows PVC samples stabilized with LABTMA-Ca/LABTMA-Zn and the other two Ca/Zn systems all display comparable strength , modulus and glass transition. A common stabilizing mechanism of LABTMA-Ca/LABTMA-Zn system and its radical mechanism were presented, respectively.

The imperative need for efficient and selective adsorption of Ni(II) and Mo(VI) is crucial for resource utilization and environmental protection. However, this process faces a challenge due to the scarcity of adsorbents that can adeptly adsorb both metal ions simultaneously. To address this, this study introduces a novel composite adsorbent material, denoted as BECZN, achieved through composite cross-linking of waste orange peel biochar with in situ aminated cobalt/zinc-zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (Co/Zn-ZIF-NH 2 ). The incorporation of Co/Zn-ZIF-NH 2 enhances the availability of active groups within BECZN. The aerogel structure of BECZN prevents ZIF material collapse and agglomeration, thereby improving active site exposure. BECZN exhibits notable adsorption capacities, reaching 151.84 mg/g for Ni(II) at pH = 7 and 842.54 mg/g for Mo(VI) at pH = 3. Further investigations indicated that the adsorption of Ni(II) and Mo(VI) obeys the Langmuir isotherm model, while exhibiting pseudo-second-order kinetics and intraparticle diffusion characteristics. Notably, BECZN selectively adsorbs Ni(II) and Mo(VI) efficiently under acidic and neutral conditions, respectively. It can maintain high capacity under the interference of various cations and anions. Meanwhile, this excellent selective adsorption of Ni(II) and Mo(VI) by Co/Zn-ZIF-NH 2 is revealed at the atomic level using density functional theory (DFT) calculations. This study offers a theoretical basis and experimental reference for the design and synthesis of ZIF and biomass-based composite adsorbents.
