The aim of this work is to explore the electrodeposition of uranium in low-melting LiCl-KCl-CsCl eutectic. A variety of conventional electrochemical techniques, including cyclic voltammetry (CV), chronopotentiometry (CP), and chronoamperometry (CA), were employed to study the electrochemical and kinetic properties of uranium at different temperatures ranging from 573 to 872 K. First, the electrochemical behaviors and diffusion coefficients of uranium species in the melts were investigated and compared to the published results. The temperature significantly affects the cathodic current response of the U4+/U3+ couple within the low temperature range. Moreover, the nucleation mechanisms of uranium in the electrodeposition process were evaluated, and the results indicated that nucleation and growth tend to occur via the same instantaneous mode at all applied temperatures and overpotential ranges. Finally, metallic uranium was deposited by potentiostatic electrolysis at an overpotential of −100 mV vs. U3+/U at different temperatures, and their morphologies and compositions were characterized by SEM-EDS and XRD, respectively. The results show that from 573 to 773 K, uranium deposits evolve form one-dimensional needle-like to multidimensional dendritic structures. No dendrite-free uranium deposits were obtained in the CsCl-containing melts regardless of the temperature.

The pretreatment of cathode material before leaching is crucial in the spent lithium-ion battery hydro-metallurgical recycling. Here research demonstrates that in-situ reduction pretreatment could dramatically improve the leaching efficiencies for valuable metals from cathodes. Specifically, calcination under 600 °C without oxygen using alkali treated cathode can induce in-situ reduction and collapse of oxygen framework, which is ascribed to the carbon inherently contained in the sample and promote the following efficient leaching without external reductants. The leaching efficiencies of Li, Mn, Co and Ni can remarkably reach 100%, 98.13%, 97.27% and 97.37% respectively. Characterization methods, such as XRD, XPS and SEM-EDS, were employed and revealed that during in-situ reduction, high valence metals such as Ni 3+ , Co 3+ , Mn 4+ can be effectively reduced to lower valence states, conducive to subsequent leaching reactions. Moreover, leaching processes of Ni, Co and Mn fit well with the film diffusion control model, and the reaction barrier is in accordance with the order of Ni, Co and Mn. In comparison, it is observed that Li was leached with higher efficiency regardless of the various pretreatments. Lastly, an integral recovery process has been proposed and economic assessment demonstrates that in-situ reduction pretreatment increases the benefit with a negligible cost increase.

This study develops and explores a self-stratifying coating system that incorporates both epoxy and acrylic resins. It examines the impact of film thickness and substrate type on self-stratification behavior, confirms predictions from the surface energy model, and identifies the surface tension gradient as the primary driving mechanism for stratification. Additionally, this research investigates the influence of FeSiCr powder on the stratification behavior of the coating. Results demonstrate that the self-stratifying coating, composed of a blend of epoxy and acrylic resins with FeSiCr powder, exhibits superior corrosion resistance compared to coatings formulated solely from a mixture of epoxy resin and FeSiCr powder. SEM-EDS analysis reveals that the enhanced corrosion resistance can be attributed to the accumulation of epoxy resin and FeSiCr at the bottom of the coating, while the acrylic resin forms an effective protective layer on the surface. Furthermore, the study examines the effects of FeSiCr powder content, solvent addition, and volatilization rate on the stratified structure and appearance of the coating. The findings indicate that at relatively low FeSiCr powder content, the layered structure of the coating remains largely intact, with the powder predominantly residing within the epoxy resin layer. However, increasing the powder content compromises the self-stratification structure, leading to a rougher coating surface. It is also observed that augmenting the quantity of the xylene/butyl acetate mixture reduces pit formation on the surface, while the use of MIBK solvent results in incomplete stratification and exacerbates surface roughness.

Here, a nano disc-shaped bimetallic organic framework (NbCo-piperazine) was prepared by the solvothermal method for the activation of PMS for the degradation of contaminants. The effects of Nb/Co ratio, synthesis time and temperature on the morphology, structure and performance of the NbCo-piperazine catalyst were characterized by XRD, FT-IR, SEM-EDS and TEM. The optimum conditions for NbCo-PZ to activate PMS degradation of tetracycline were investigated by adjusting the dosage of catalyst, tetracycline concentration, pH and PMS concentration. The catalytic performance of NbCo-PZ in the presence of co-existing anions (Cl − , NO 3 – , HCO 3 2– , H 2 PO 4 − ) was also evaluated. XPS explained that cyclic changes in the valence states of Nb 4+ /Nb 5+ and Co 2+ /Co 3+ accelerated the activation of the PMS degradation process. EPR results showed the presence of free radicals (SO 4 ·− , ·OH and O 2 ·− ) and non-free radicals ( 1 O 2 ) in the degradation process, with free radicals playing a major role in the degradation process. The degradation rate of tetracycline after three cycles was 92.2%. In addition, NbCo-piperazine showed good catalytic performance for other organic pollutants such as methyl blue, tylosin tartrate and tetracycline with the degradation rate of 97.8%, 95.2% and 95.5%, respectively. Moreover, it also has good catalytic properties in various water systems such as river water and sea water.

Aluminum hydride (AlH 3 ), as a potential new metal fuel, has attracted extensive attention in the field of hydrogen storage materials, propellants and energetic materials due to its excellent properties. In this paper, a new organic liquid phase reduction method was used to prepare AlH 3 , and the microstructure and composition of the prepared samples were characterized by SEM–EDS, XRD, FT-IR, XPS, etc. The main crystal phase of the prepared AlH 3 was α-AlH 3 , with high quality and no other impurities. The thermal decomposition behavior and non-isothermal reaction kinetics of AlH 3 were investigated by TG-DSC. The results show that there are three exothermic stages in the heating process of AlH 3 : dehydrogenation of AlH 3 , first oxidation of Al, and second oxidation of Al. The activation energy of the dehydrogenation of AlH 3 is 77.8675 kJ/mol (Kissinger method) and 81.4862 kJ/mol (Ozawa method), respectively. The morphology evolution of AlH 3 particles during the heating process (300–3000 K) was simulated using a reaction kinetics method based on the ReaxFF force field. The response behavior of AlH 3 in the instantaneous high-temperature detonation environment was investigated using the high-energy laser-induced shock wave technique. Under the impact of a high-energy laser (1006 mJ), the AlH 3 sample undergoes an ultra-fast reaction and generates a large amount of plasma. The expansion of the plasma pushes the surrounding air to form a supersonic shock wave and propagates forward. The shock wave propagation velocity of AlH 3 is 690.99 m/s in the range of 2.1–12.35 μs, and the higher the laser energy, the faster the shock wave propagation velocity. This study provides the basis for the application of AlH 3 . Graphical Abstract

The discharge of industrial heavy metal wastewater not only leads to environmental pollution, but also harms human health, so it is imperative to control heavy metal pollution. In the current work, a sequence of anatase/brookite TiO 2 @COF with different mass ratios, bi-phase TiO 2 and bare COF were successfully synthesized by simple hydrothermal synthesis. The photocatalytic activity of the prepared catalysts was assessed by reducing Cr(Ⅵ) in model pollutant (K 2 Cr 2 O 7 ). Under the condition of pH = 3, the Cr(Ⅵ) reduction rate of TiO 2 @COF-4 was as high as 99.19% in 30 min. The photocatalytic activity of TiO 2 @COF-4 remained stable in four consecutive cycles, suggesting that it has a potential application prospect for the removal of Cr(Ⅵ) in the actual environment. The morphology and structure of photocatalysts were observed by different techniques (SEM/EDS, HRTEM, BET analysis, XRD, FTIR and XPS). The specific reasons for the enhancement of photocatalytic performance of materials were explored by different methods (PL, UV–vis DRS, Mott-Schottky plots, I-T curves and EIS). Finally, we concluded that the photocatalytic system of TiO 2 @COF-4 may follow the typical direct Z- scheme mechanism. This work provides an effective solution for the water treatment of heavy metal pollution.

The corrosion inhibition behavior and adsorption mechanism of three novel synthetic surfactants in 1 M HCl solution on carbon steel were investigated. The PP results confirmed that all the synthetic surfactants behave as mixed-type inhibitors, while the EIS results validated the existence of a protective layer by the adsorption of inhibitor molecules on the carbon surface. T 3 was observed to offer the highest inhibition efficiency ( η w , 96.28%) at 1 mM by the static weight loss measurements due to two different hydrophobic chains which form a more compact film with the crosswise arrangement. SEM/EDS and XPS results revealed the formation of the surfactants film on the carbon steel surface. Molecular dynamics simulation (MD) was further executed to determine the adsorption mechanism in molecular level insights. In addition, a linear correlation between surface activity ( γ ) and corrosion inhibition efficiency ( η w ) was verified. The adsorption of the prepared surfactants followed the Freundlich isotherm at different concentration ranges. Moreover, the bilayer/multilayer adsorption mechanism was also proposed and confirmed by experimental, adsorption isotherm studies and MD. Hence, both MD simulations and experimental results revealed the analogous inhibition with the order follows: T 3 > T 2 > T 1 .

In this study, chitosan (CS) and phytic acid (PA) were employed as raw materials to synthesize a range of chitosan–phytic acid complexes (CP) with different ratios (CS:PA = 12:1, 9:1, 6:1, 3:1, 1:1). The structures and elemental compositions of the compounds were characterized using Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR) and Scanning Electron Microscopy with Energy-Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (SEM-EDS). The thermal stability of the synthesized materials was analyzed using a Thermogravimetric Analyzer (TG). Electrochemical testing was conducted to explore the corrosion inhibition effect of the modified inhibitors with varying ratios on Q235 steel in 3.5 wt% NaCl solution. Additionally, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) was utilized to investigate the surface morphology of the immersed samples. When the CS:PA ratio was 3:1, CP exhibited an impressive corrosion inhibition efficiency of 94.9 %. Furthermore, the antimicrobial properties of CP were evaluated using the colony plate counting method. At a CS:PA ratio of 1:1, CP demonstrated the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) at 0.1250 % and 0.5000 %, respectively. This research introduces a novel green corrosion inhibitor capable of simultaneously reducing the electrochemical corrosion of Q235 while inhibiting biocorrosion, avoiding the antagonistic effects arising from the simultaneous use of biocides and corrosion inhibitors in the system.

A chitosan-based adsorbents (CS-Ninhydrin) was prepared by grafting ninhydrin for Pb(II) ions adsorption. SEM-EDS, XRD and FTIR analysis were used to characterize the synthesized CS-Ninhydrin. The static adsorption experiments showed that CS-Ninhydrin had a good removal rate for Pb(II) ions in a wide range of pH 3 to 7, quickly reached equilibrium (120 min) and had a higher adsorption capacity (196 mg/g). Pseudo second-order and Langmuir models showed that the adsorption process of Pb(II) by CS-Ninhydrin was a single-layer chemical adsorption. Temperature experiments showed that the reaction was a spontaneous exothermic process. In the wastewater experiment, CS-Ninhydrin showed an excellent selectivity to Pb(II) ions. The reusability of CS-Ninhydrin was perfect after five adsorption-desorption cycles. The main adsorption mechanism was the chelating and electrostatic action between N and O groups in CS-Ninhydrin and Pb(II) ions. Therefore, the new adsorbent CS-Ninhydrin was expected to promote the wide application of chitosan in Pb(II) adsorption.

Excessive phosphorus in water causes environmental security problems like eutrophication . Advanced two-dimensional material MXene has attracted raising attention in aquatic adsorption, while lack of selectivity and difficult recovery limit its application in phosphate removal . In this study, Ti 3 C 2 -MXene embedded zirconium-crosslinked SA (MX-ZrSA) beads were synthesized and their phosphate adsorption performance under different conditions was assessed. Investigations using SEM/EDS, XRD, BET, TGA and contact angle meter reveal that the addition of Ti 3 C 2 -MXene enhanced the thermal stability, mechanical strength, hydrophilicity, and formed loose network-like mesoporous inner structure with large surface area. The theoretical maximum adsorption capacity was 492.55 mg P/g and was well fitted by Freundlich and optimized Langmuir models. The Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis showed that chemisorption was involved, and the formation of Zr–O–P and Ti–O–P complexes accounted for high selectivity and affinity to phosphate. The adsorption experiments in real waters and lab-scale continuous flow Anaerobic-Anoxic-Oxic reactor further indicated the application potential of MX-ZrSA beads. Our study will provide insight into MXene and SA aerogel synergistic adsorption of aquatic contaminants and help with the removal and recovery of finite phosphorus resource.

A thermosensitive amidoxime-based hydrogel named PAOU was prepared from polyamidoxime through ion-imprinted polymerization, with UO 2 2+ as the template ions and N-isopropylacrylamide as the monomer. The PAOU was characterized by DSC, FTIR, SEM/EDS, XPS and Raman spectroscopy. PAOU expressed phase transition at 29.76 °C (exothermic peak) and 39.64 °C (endothermic peak), respectively, and still maintained good reversible thermosensitivity after five cycles of heating and cooling. The maximum adsorption capacity of PAOU (dry weight 10 mg) was 856.47 mg/g after adsorption for 50 min at 50 °C, pH 4.5, 80 mL 0.5 mg/mL UO 2 2+ solution. The quasi-second-order kinetic equation and the Langmuir adsorption isotherm model were both followed by the adsorption of UO 2 2+ by PAOU. The thermodynamic parameters indicated that the adsorption process of PAOU was endothermic (Δ H θ = 27.04 kJ/mol) and spontaneous (Δ G θ = −19.17 kJ/mol). After five cycles of adsorption–desorption experiments on PAOU under optimal adsorption conditions, the adsorption capacity of PAOU was 704.32 mg/g, being 82.23 % of the first adsorption capacity. The adsorption selectivity coefficients of PAOU in seven kinds of mixed metal ion solutions were 1.61 ∼ 42.04. It outperformed its non-imprinted equivalent in terms of adsorption selectivity. The adsorbent also showed good uranium adsorption ability in natural seawater.
