Cadmium (Cd) pollution is an important threat to agricultural production globally. Silicon (Si) and silicon nanoparticles (Si NPs) can mitigate Cd stress in plants. However, the mechanisms underlying the impacts of Si and Si NPs on Cd resistance, particularly in low-Si accumulators, remain inadequately understood. Accordingly, we conducted a comparative investigation into the roles of Si and Si NPs in regulating the antioxidant system (enzymes and antioxidants) and Cd uptake (influx rate, symplastic and apoplastic pathways) in tomato (a typical low-Si accumulator). The results revealed that Si and Si NPs improved tomato growth under Cd stress, and principal component analysis (PCA) demonstrated that Si NPs were more effective than Si. For oxidative damage, redundancy analysis (RDA) results showed that Si NPs ameliorated oxidative damage in both shoots and roots, whereas Si predominantly alleviated oxidative damage in roots. Simultaneously, Si and Si NPs regulated antioxidant enzymes and nonenzymatic antioxidants with distinct targets and strengths. Furthermore, Si and Si NPs decreased Cd concentration in tomato shoot, root, and xylem sap, while Si NPs induced a more significant decline in shoot and xylem sap Cd. Noninvasive microtest and quantitative estimation of trisodium-8-hydroxy-1,3,6-pyrenetrisulfonic (PTS, an apoplastic tracer) showed that Si and Si NPs reduced the Cd influx rate and apoplastic Cd uptake, while Si NPs induced a more significant reduction. Moreover, Si regulated the expression of genes responsible for Cd uptake ( NRAMP2 and LCT1 ) and compartmentalization ( HMA3 ), while Si NPs reduced the expression of NRAMP2 . In conjunction with RDA, the results showed that Si and Si NPs decreased Cd uptake mainly by regulating the symplastic and apoplastic pathways, respectively. Overall, our results indicate that Si NPs is more effective in promoting tomato growth and alleviating oxidative damage than Si in tomato under Cd stress by modulating the antioxidant system and reducing apoplastic Cd uptake.

Silicate minerals on S-type asteroids are a potential resource for in situ production of silicon. We investigated the feasibility of synthesizing silicon from Mg2Si3O8 through electrolysis in NaF-LiF molten salt. Solubility of Mg2Si3O8 in NaF-LiF molten salt was determined using isothermal saturation. Dissolution equilibrium is reached after 120 min, and the solubility of Mg2Si3O8 in NaF-LiF molten salt at 750 °C is 28.9%. Electrochemical studies revealed that the reduction of Si(IV) in NaF-LiF molten salt is a two-step process. Si(IV) was reduced to Si(II) at −1.1 V (vs Pt), and Si(II) was further reduced to metallic silicon at −1.2 V (vs Pt). Electrolysis of Mg2Si3O8 in NaF-LiF molten salt was conducted at 750 °C using a high-purity graphite sheet as anode and a silver sheet as cathode. Electrolysis products were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). XRD indicated that the main phase of the electrolysis products was silicon when cell voltages were 2.0, 2.5, 3.0, and 3.5 V. Raman spectroscopy confirmed the presence of crystal silicon. SEM and EDS revealed that the electrolysis products exhibit granular morphology, and silicon concentration reached a maximum value of 98.14% when the cell voltage was 2.5 V.

The V-Cr-bearing reducing slag (VCBRS) is solid waste, which cannot be treated at present. This work proposes an effective approach to separately recover its major elements of V, Cr and Si and fully utilize the VCBRS with added-values. Flocculation desiliconization is used to extract Si from the acid solving liquid of VCBRS and Si is recovered as white carbon black with purity of 94.60% and recovery of 93.04%. After desiliconization, V in the solving liquid is selectively oxidized by H 2 O 2 and extracted by microemulsion extraction, which is recovered as V 2 O 5 whose purity is 99.60% with recovery at 96.32% from the stripping liquor of loaded microemulsion . Cr in the raffinate is recovered by alkaline precipitation as final product of Cr 2 O 3 with purity of 98.83% and recovery of 92.68%. The principles are discussed in detail and the operation conditions are optimized systematically. The microemulsion and wastewater are both cyclically utilized, which eliminates the secondary wastes. This work efficiently recovers all valuable elements with increased values from the solid waste, which can not only solve the environmental pollution problem, but also realize the efficient recovery of valuable elements to achieve comprehensive utilization.

Porous silicon (PSi) prepared from Pt metal-assisted chemical etching (MaCE) was demonstrated to possess higher hydrosilylation efficiency (∼57%) than anodized PSi (∼11%) by surface reaction with ω-undecenyl alcohol (UO). Deconvolution of the SiH x ( x = 1-3) stretching bands revealed the abundance of SiH2 species on MaCE PSi was 53%, ∼10% higher than on anodized samples, while both of SiH1 and SiH 3 were ∼5% lower correspondently on MaCE PSi than on anodized samples. The surface SiH x abundances were suggested to account for the higher hydrosilylation efficiency on MaCE PSi. Optimization of Pt-assisted chemical etching parameters suggested a 7–15 nm thick Pt-coating and an etching time of 3–10 min for biochip applications. Scanning electron microscopy images revealed that an isotropic top meso-porous layer was beneficial for hydrosilylation and long-term durability under ambient conditions. To end, an example of histidine-tagged protein immobilization and microarray was illustrated. Combining the materials’ property, surface chemistry, and micro-fabrication technology together, we envision that silicon based biochip applications have a prosperous future.

Recently, silicon-based anode materials have garnered significant attention from researchers due to their high theoretical specific capacity. However, these materials are highly prone to volume expansion, which significantly hinders their further commercialization. Here, the skeleton of silicon nanoparticles (Si NPs) is constructed from metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) in order to buffer their volume increase and enhance electrochemical performance. In this study, a solvent-thermal reaction is conducted using a mixture of NiFe-MIL and sodium hydroxide solution to deposit a carbon layer around the Si NPs, while simultaneously creating a highly conductive graphene network. Si materials supported by inward multi-channel carbon were synthesized through high-temperature pyrolysis. This unique double-layer carbon structure endows the material with remarkable electrochemical properties, including enhanced cycle stability and lithium storage capacity. The Si@C–NiFe-MIL@reduced graphene oxide (Si@C–NiFe-MIL@rGO) electrode materials exhibit a high specific capacity of 2092.8 mA h g−1 at a current density of 50 mA g−1. Furthermore, they demonstrate a stable reversible capacity of 851 mA h g−1 after 200 cycles at a current density of 1000 mA g−1. This research may provide a different strategy for producing high-energy, reasonably priced silicon anodes for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs).

A palladium complex coordinated with a chiral SIPHOS ligand was evaluated as an efficient catalyst for asymmetric hydrosilylation of β-silyl styrenes with trichlorosilane and 23 1,2-bis(silyl) chiral compounds were produced. Good to excellent enantioselectivities were observed with 1-aryl-2-silyl ethanols, where the trichlorosilyl groups of the hydrosilylation products were selectively converted into a hydroxyl group in the presence of pre-installed trialkylsilyl groups. Asymmetric hydrosilylation of β-silyl styrenes followed by methylation of the trichlorosilyl group gave stable 1,2-bis(silyl) chiral compounds 4 with excellent yields. DFT calculations of hydridopalladium B coordinated with a SIPHOS ligand, an intermediate of the hydrosilylation reaction, established the optical structures to be energy minima, and the structural information could well illustrate the enantioselectivity for the hydrosilylation reaction.

There are many benefits associated with thermoplastic silicones, but very few examples exist: silicone resins or rubbers are normally thermosets. In this article, a facile and efficient approach was reported to prepare thermoplastic silicone by introducing a bulky side siloxane group. Monofunctional polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS), as the bulky siloxane group, was grafted onto the linear polysiloxane backbone via thiol–ene click reaction, endowing the liquid polysiloxane with thermoplastic nature. The POSS-grafted polysiloxane could be remolded by a hot-melting or solution casting process. It was worth noting that the novel thermoplastic silicone was composed of both linear siloxane main chains and siloxane side groups, which was distinctly different from previous researches on thermoplastic silicones consisted of siloxane main chains and organic side groups. Thermal analysis, rheological characterization and molecular dynamics simulation results revealed the thermoplastic properties of POSS-grafted polysiloxane depended on the bulky POSS's hindrance to the movement of the polymer backbone rather than the interaction between the organic side groups. Graphical Due to various applications of silicone materials, thermosetting silicone material waste has accumulated tremendously. Attempt to ease this situation, a new type of transparent thermoplastic silicone resin material is developed and may broaden its future use. The synthesis method enriches the types of thermoplastic silicones and provides a new idea for the recovery and reuse of silicone materials.

Summary Two kinds of novel silicon-phosphorus linear polymers were synthesized by the hydrosilylation reaction of double-decker-shaped silsesquioxane (DDSQ) and 9,10-dihydro-9-oxa-10- phosphaphenanthrene-10-oxide (DOPO) derivatives and characterized using 1 H NMR, 31 P NMR, and 29 Si NMR. Flame-retardant polycarbonate/acrylonitric-butadiene-styrene (PC/ABS) blends were prepared with different contents of silicon-phosphorus linear polymers. The flame-retardant properties of silicon-phosphorus linear polymers as well as the morphology were investigated in detail by using thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), limiting oxygen index (LOI), (Underwriters Laboratory) UL-94, microscale combustion calorimetry (MCC), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), respectively. The silicon-phosphorus linear polymers containing DDSQ and DOPO units can synergistically improve the flame retardancy and thermal stability of PC/ABS blends. Flame-retardant polymers with different linkers between DDSQ and phosphate units show comparable effect on the flame retardancy of PC/ABS.

Solar cells based on crystalline silicon wafers have dominated the global photovoltaic market for many years. Unfortunately, a large amount of photovoltaic silicon waste (PSW) also was produced during the process of cutting silicon ingot into silicon wafer. The improperly discarded PSW will bring about serious environmental hazardous problems, so it is highly necessary to safely and effectively recover and utilize PSW. Here, we report self-assembled 3D Si 3 N 4 @SiO 2 nanofibre sponges utilising PSW as silicon sources for the first time. This kind of ceramic sponge displays excellent compression resilience under a maximum strain of 67% due to the flexibility of the Si 3 N 4 @SiO 2 nanofibres. The Si 3 N 4 @SiO 2 nanofibre sponges can withstand high temperatures beyond 1200 °C with negligible weight loss and demonstrates favourable thermal insulation properties. Furthermore, the porous Si 3 N 4 @SiO 2 nanofibre sponges possess ultra-low dielectric properties , with the minimum dielectric constant and dielectric loss approaching 1 and 0, respectively. In short, a simple and low-cost technology using industrial waste to fabricate versatile Si 3 N 4 @SiO 2 nanofibre sponges with prominent performance is of great significance for the development and application of 3D ceramic architectures in various industry fields including aerospace, electronic devices and thermal insulation.

In this study, a new zirconium-mediated cycloaddition for preparing dibenzosilole derivatives was developed using silicon-bridged diynes and electron-withdrawing alkynes as starting materials. The preparation of silicon-bridged diynes from 1-bromide-2-iodobenzene, terminal alkynes, and dimethyldichlorosilane was also studied. Unlike in the previous synthesis methods, much higher yields of electron-withdrawing group-substituted dibenzosilole derivatives were obtained. In addition, a new synthesis strategy for preparing benzonaphthosilole derivatives using internal alkynes, 1,4-dibromobenzene, and electron-withdrawing alkynes as starting materials is proposed. Compared with previous methods, alkyl, phenyl, and electron-withdrawing groups can be successfully introduced onto aromatic rings, and the positions of these substituents can be easily controlled. The cycloaddition reactions for dibenzosilole and benzonaphthosilole derivatives are highly efficient one-pot processes, and the raw materials are available and easily prepared. Using these new methods, a series of novel multi-substituted dibenzonsilole and benzonaphthosilole derivatives were obtained effectively.

Developing silicon based anode of lithium-ion battery (LIB) is seriously blocked by the huge volume change of lithiation and delithiation and the corresponded high cost paying to solve it, although Si with the theoretical capacity of 4200 mAh g −1 for Li + storage. In this study, natural diatomite with low cost was using as precursor and self-template to produce Si and construct porous structure, a coral-like porous Si/C (CLP-Si/C) material has been successfully synthesized through the NaCl added magnesiothermic reduction reaction (MRR) technology and acetylene CVD method. The hierarchical structure of macro-/mesopores in CLP-Si/C are inherited from diatomite itself and produced by removing the unreacted SiO 2 in diatomite and the byproduct of MgO of MRR. Acetylene CVD further constructs a shell-core structure of carbon layers and Si particles. The hierarchical pores and core-shell structure make CLP-Si/C exhibit a stable cycling performance as LIB anode that the capacity of 990.6 mAh g −1 can be kept after 100 cycles at a rate of 250 mA g −1 . This work provides a simple, low-cost and scalable strategy for producing porous Si/C anode materials with high-performance by using diatomite as both precursor and template, and is promising in the development of practical application of Si based anode materials of lithium-ion battery.

Freestanding silicon nanocrystals (SiNCs) were prepared based on triethoxysilane (TES) by a series processes of chemistry and physics. To prevent self-aggregation, the freestanding SiNCs were mixed with 1‑dodecene and mesitylene, followed by addition reaction in argon. A dispersed freestanding SiNC colloid was thus attained. A Si white light-emitting diode was fabricated using the dispersed freestanding SiNCs by mixing them with hydrogen silsesquioxane (HSQ) as the active layer. The electroluminescence emission of the device showed a continuous spectrum covering the whole visible regime in the white emission region of chromatic chart.
