The ionic rare earth elements (REEs) was mainly recovered by in-situ leaching process. The concentration of rare earth ions in the leaching solution after long-term leaching process would be too low for traditional precipitation process for REEs recovery. The adsorption process was ideal for the low concentration REEs recovery. In this study, Zn–Al LDH precursor were successfully synthesized by mechanochemical method for the adsorption of REEs (including La − , Eu 3+ and Er 3+ ). X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray photoelectron energy spectrometer (XPS), and Zeta potential test was applied for adsorption mechanism illustration. The maximum adsorption capacity of the Zn–Al LDH precursor for La 3+ , Eu 3+ and Er 3+ reached 492 mg/g, 346 mg/g, and 1154 mg/g which was significantly higher than other types of adsorbents. The adsorbed REEs on the Zn–Al LDH was hard to be desorbed. The Zn–Al LDH precursor after REEs adsorption could be directly used as high content REEs resources for further process.Therefore, the Zn–Al LDH precursor could be a promising adsorbent for REEs recovery in practical application.

Mn-doped spinel oxides CoAl 2 O 4 marked as CMA-m (m = Co/Mn atom ratio) herein were synthesized and evaluated for the first time as supports of Co-based Fischer-Tropsch synthesis (FTS) catalysts. HAADF-STEM images showed that Mn doping caused more crystal defects on the surface of CMA-m grains, which may provide more attachment sites for cobalt loading, leading to much smaller Co 0 particle size of 15Co/CMA-m than that of 15Co/CoAl 2 O 4 . Data of H 2 /CO chemisorption showed that the interaction of highly dispersed Co 0 with lattice Mn-doped CMA-m grain has a promotive effect on CO adsorption capability. FTS evaluation results demonstrate that 15Co/CMA-20 showed the highest CO conversion, C 5+ selectivity and C 5+ STY, benefiting from its high Co 0 dispersion and CO chemisorption capability as a result of suitable Mn doping into the lattice of CoAl 2 O 4 , which was confirmed very different from the influence of impregnated Mn oxide over CoAl 2 O 4 .

In this work, hierarchical flower-like MoS2 microspheres synthesized through a facile hydrothermal approach are used as a cathode for aluminum-ion batteries. They exhibit an initial specific discharge capacity of 153.6 mAh g–1 at a current density of 50 mA g–1 and deliver a stable capacity of 112.2 mAh g–1 with a Coulombic efficiency of 92.4% over 100 cycles on account of the unique hierarchical structure, which provides abundant space for aluminum storage. Moreover, the characterization results confirm that Al3+ ions can be intercalated into the MoS2 phase to form AlxMoS2 during the discharge process. The density functional theory calculation results indicate that the structure of MoS2 can be stabilized during the intercalation/deintercalation process.

As one of the most commonly used binary alloys , the effect of intermetallic compounds (IMCs) of Al-Cu alloys in powder metallurgy on their structure and properties is instructive for tailoring Al-Cu alloys for different applications. In this investigation, a series of Al-Cu-Ag alloys with varying Cu compositions were fabricated via hot pressing. TEM analysis identified CuAl 2 as the primary intermetallic compounds , with Ag existing in forms including Ag 2 Al, elemental Ag, and an Ag-(Cu) solid solution . The modulation of Cu content influenced the state of Ag and the mechanical behaviors of the Al-Cu-Ag alloy. Particularly, the high Al/Cu alloy, benefiting from a synergistic effect comprising stacking faults, nanoscale precipitates, and solid solutions, exhibited outstanding mechanical properties. Conversely, the Al-50Cu-3Ag alloys displayed significant brittleness , attributed to the adverse impact of large-scale intermetallic compounds and increased grain size due to the formation of CuAl 2 . The incorporation of nanoparticles effectively mitigated the grain size in high Al/Cu alloys. This study elucidates the correlation between the evolution of intermetallic compounds and composition in Al-Cu alloys, offering novel insights into the reinforcement of both Al-based and Cu-based alloys.

Al-ion batteries are proposed as promising energy storage candidates for beyond Li-ion technology due to the higher natural earth of Al metal. Recently, various graphite and graphene cathodes for Al-ion batteries have been studied in this regard, but their costs are not satisfactory. In this study, a novel cathode for Al-ion batteries is prepared by graphitizing inexpensive soft carbon materials (mesocarbon microspheres and petroleum coke) at 2800 °C. The charge and discharge process is showcased here for graphitized petroleum coke, which has a storage capacity of 77.7 mAh g −1 with two high discharge voltage (~ 2.25 and 1.80 V), higher than graphitized mesocarbon microspheres (51 mAh g −1 ). It also has excellent cycle stability and no reduction in specific capacity after 1000 cycles. Affordable cost of the graphitized petroleum coke cathode makes Al-ion battery more promising for large-scale chemical energy storage.

Cubic phase garnet-type Li 7 La 3 Zr 2 O 12 (LLZO) is a promising solid electrolyte for highly safe Li-ion batteries. Al-doped LLZO (Al-LLZO) has been widely studied due to the low cost of Al 2 O 3 . The reported ionic conductivities were variable due to the complicated Al 3+ -Li + substitution and Li x AlO y segregation in Al-LLZO ceramics. This work prepared Li 7−3 x Al x La 3 Zr 2 O 12 ( x = 0.00~0.40) ceramics via a conventional solid-state reaction method. The AC impedance and corresponding distribution of relaxation times (DRT) were analyzed combined with phase transformation, cross-sectional microstructure evolution , and grain boundary element mapping results for these Al-LLZO ceramics to understand the various ionic transportation levels in LLZO with different Al-doping amounts. The low conductivity in low Al-doped (0.12~0.28) LLZO originates from the slow Li + ion migration (1.4~0.25 μs) in the cubic-tetragonal mixed phase. On the other hand, LiAlO 2 and LaAlO 3 segregation occur at the grain boundaries of high Al-doped (0.40) LLZO, resulting in a gradual Li + ion jump (6.5 μs) over grain boundaries and low ionic conductivity. The Li 6.04 Al 0.32 La 3 Zr 2 O 12 ceramic delivers the optimum Li + ion conductivity of 1.7 × 10 −4 S cm −1 at 25 °C.

Metastable intermolecular composites (MICs) typically use Al as fuel and transition metal oxides as oxidizers , while their reactivities are hindered by the inert Al 2 O 3 passivation layer on the surface of Al particles . Recently, transition metal fluorides have emerged as novel fluorine-containing oxidizers for promoting the reactivity of metal fuels through interfacial fluorination of oxide layer . In this work, nanosized CoF 2 and Co 3 O 4 were prepared through pyrolysis of CoF 2 ·4H 2 O precursor using different calcination conditions. To investigate the function of CoF 2 in reaction and the influence of CoF 2 content on reactive performances, a series of MICs composed of n-Al, Co 3 O 4 , and CoF 2 were prepared through ultrasonic dispersion method. Thermal analysis indicated that Al/CoF 2 composite had significantly higher specific heat release (2.30 kJ/g) than that of Al/Co 3 O 4 composite (1.45 kJ/g), and CoF 2 facilitated the occurrence of exothermic reaction at a relatively lower temperature. AlF 3 was found as main reaction products of Al/CoF 2 at 650 °C, and AlF 3 sublimes at the temperature above 850 °C. Although the pressure output and flame intensity of Al/CoF 2 composite is lower than that of Al/Co 3 O 4 composite, hybrid Al/Co 3 O 4 /CoF 2 composites with 20 %–35 % CoF 2 showed significantly enhanced energetic performances compared with sole Al/Co 3 O 4 , suggesting that CoF 2 can function as an effective reaction modifier.

Dolomite is a widespread carbonate mineral that has been investigated extensively over the past two centuries. Despite the high level of investigation, aspects of the environmental conditions of crystallization, diagenesis and dissolution remain elusive and the transformation of dolomite into other value-added products is still challenging. This work shows a novel, cleaner method to dissolve dolomite by taking advantage of the acidity from the hydrolysis of Lewis acid AlCl 3 and as such the mineral can be efficiently converted into Ca-Mg-Al layered double hydroxide (LDH). The dolomite and the resulting Ca-Mg-Al LDH samples were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), thermogravimetric analysis (TG), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The composition of the products was measured by energy dispersive spectrometer-mapping (EDS-mapping), X-ray fluorescence (XRF) and atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS). Particle sizes of the products were measured by a dynamic light scattering method. It is documented, for the first time, that dissolution of dolomite in AlCl 3 aqueous solution is facilitated by hydrothermal treatment . Well-crystallized Ca-Mg-Al LDH crystals are achieved under (Ca + Mg): Al molar ratio = 1:1, pH = 10.5 via a simple co-precipitation method. The maximum utilization efficiencies of Ca 2+ , Mg 2+ from dolomite to LDH are 36.3% and 95.5%, respectively. The possible mechanisms of LDH formation were: 1) the dolomite dissolved in the strong acid solution due to the hydrolysis of AlCl 3 and thus provided Ca 2+ and Mg 2+ ; 2) with addition of NaOH, Al 3+ cations precipitated to form Al(OH) 3 (at 8.3 ≤ pH ≤ 9.3) and then part of the Al(OH) 3 reacted with Ca 2+ and Mg 2+ to form the Ca-Mg-Al LDH; 3) at pH = 10.5, the Al(OH) 3 was transformed as [AlO(OH)] and meanwhile Ca 2+ , Mg 2+ and Al 3+ took part in the formation of Ca-Mg-Al LDH; 4) when pH = 10.6, [AlO(OH)] reacted with NaOH to dissolve into [Al(OH) 4 ]− and the [Al(OH) 4 ]− finally co-precipitated with Ca 2+ and Mg 2+ to form the Ca-Mg-Al LDH during heating for drying.

Thermite films are typical energetic materials (EMs) and have great value in initiating explosive devices. However, research in thermite film preparation is far behind that of research in thermite powders. Electrophoretic deposition (EPD) is an emerging, rapid coating method for film fabrication, including of energetic composite films. In this work, a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)/Al/CuO organic-inorganic hybrid energetic film was successfully obtained using the above method for the first time. The addition of lithocholic acid as a surfactant into the electroplating suspension enabled PTFE to be charged. The combustion and energy release were analyzed by means of a high-speed camera and differential scanning calorimetery (DSC). It was found that the combustion process and energy release of PTFE/Al/CuO were much better than that of Al/CuO. The main reason for the excellent combustion performance of the hybrid PTFE/Al/CuO system was that the oxidability of PTFE accelerated the redox reaction between Al and CuO. The prepared PTFE/Al/CuO film was also employed as ignition material to fire a B–KNO 3 explosive successfully, indicating considerable potential for use as an ignition material in micro-ignitors. This study sheds light on the preparation of fluoropolymer-containing organic-inorganic hybrid energetic films by one-step electrophoretic deposition.

In Li-ion batteries (LIBs), the phenomenon of memory effect has only been found in a few two-phase electrode materials such as olivine LiFePO4, anatase TiO2, and Al-doped Li4Ti5O12, which is attributed to the Li-ion exchange between adjacent vacant Li and Fe sites in LiFePO4 and the Al-ion exchange between 8a and 16c sites in Al-doped Li4Ti5O12. Here, the Al-doped LiCrTiO4 was successfully synthesized by the spray-drying method and high-temperature sintering, which also exhibits the memory effect during only the charging process. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) and electrochemical results indicate that the saturated Al-doping level corresponds to the Al:Ti ratio of ca. 0.25 for LiCrTiO4, and the memory effect increases with the Al-doping level evidently. According to the in situ XRD and magic-angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance results, the Al3+ ions are doped at the 8a sites, the Li ions hop between 8a and 16c sites during the charging and discharging processes, and the Li ions further hop from the 16c site to the 16d site after deeply discharging and move back in the subsequent charging process. Therefore, the memory effect of Al-doped LiCrTiO4 should originate from the reversible exchange of Li ions between 16c and 16d sites, and it is a common strategy to cause the memory effect in LIBs by inducing another reversible ionic migration in the electrode materials to affect the normal Li-ion extraction/insertion.

Rechargeable aluminum-sulfur batteries (Al-S) are emerging as a promising alternative energy storage system beyond lithium-ion batteries due to their high energy density, abundant material resources, and economic efficiency. However, their practical application remains challenged by sluggish conversion kinetics, polysulfide shuttling, and low sulfur cathode utilization. While extensive studies have focused on enhancing polysulfide adsorption through catalytic strategies, the roles of electronic structure in dictating catalytic performance remain underexplored. Here, this work unveils the critical effect of unpaired electronic structure on the catalytic performance of single atom ferromagnetic transition metals through a systematic evaluation of three typical atomically dispersed ferromagnetic single atoms—Fe, Co, and Ni—supported on porous carbon (denoted as PC-SAFAs). Comprehensive characterizations and density functional theory (DFT) calculations reveal that the PC-SAFe catalysts, exhibiting the highest spin polarization arising from unpaired electrons, demonstrate the strongest interactions with polysulfide, thereby facilitating rapid and reversible polysulfide conversion reactions. Consequently, Al-S batteries incorporating the optimized PC-SAFe cathode achieve an impressive specific capacity of 508.8 mAh g −1 at 1.0 A g −1 after 500 cycles, along with much improved rate capability. This work provides a deeper understanding of the role of electronic structure in catalytic chemistry, and offers new insights for developing high-performance Al-S batteries.

Electrolytes are highly important for aqueous Al ion batteries (AAIBs). However, Al metal anode usually has poor reversibility of plating/tripping, resulting in low Coulombic efficiency (CE) and poor cycling stability by using traditional Al ion electrolyte. Herein, a novel type of aqueous Al ion electrolyte with polyethylene glycol (PEG) as the primary skeleton for solvated Al ions is proposed, named as PEG-Al@H. Outstandingly, an Al electrolyte interface (AEI) is generated on the Al metal surface during galvanostatic charging process by polymerization of PEG. It is proved that AEI, acting as the protective layer, effectively mitigates the side reaction caused by the rapid kinetic in aqueous electrolyte and prevents Al metal anode from deeply corroding. Moreover, PEG disrupts the hydrogen bond of the solvent in the electrolyte, extending the working temperature of AAIBs. The design that a full-cell consisting of PEG-Al@H as the electrolyte, potassium manganese hexacyanoferrate as the cathode, Al metal as anode can run over 20 000 cycles at 500 mA g −1 , with an average CE higher than 95%. More importantly, even at −5 °C, for the first time, an initial capacity of 16 mAh in a pouch-cell is achieved and maintain roughly 87% of capacity after 5500 cycles.
