The great attention of rechargeable Zn-air battery has motivated extensive research on the development of inexpensive, highly efficient, and robust noble-metal-free bifunctional catalysts for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER). In this work, Mn-N-C-950 single-atom catalyst with biomass aerogel as precursor was successfully synthesized. The resulting Mn-N-C-950 exhibited excellent bifunctional catalytic performance for ORR ( E 1/2 = 0.843 V) and OER ( E j=10 = 1.56 V) in alkaline electrolytes, which can compete with previously reported bifunctional electrocatalysts. In addition, compared to the Pt/C + RuO 2 mixed catalyst, this bifunctional catalyst can endow the self-made zinc-air battery with better power density (114.1 mW/cm 2 ) and cycle stability (105.5 h), demonstrating its potential feasibility in practical applications of rechargeable metal air batteries.

The spraying of pesticides not only causes the waste of chemicals but also air pollution. To make the use of pesticides become more environmentally friendly and effective, biodegradable material polylactic acid (PLA) was chosen to package pesticides in this work. Three different film preparation methods (drying, coagulation bath shaping, and steam treatment) were used to study the morphology of PLA coated films. From FESEM images, it could be observed that the steam treatment was more easy in forming pore structures of the films. The sustained release performances of PLA film with the pore size around 800 nm for tetracycline hydrochloride (TC) and hymexazol (HYM) were investigated. The results showed that both chemical temperature and solubility could affect the sustained release effect of films. Due to the slower dissolution rate of TC compared to HYM, it was prone to aggregation in PLA films, which affected the sustained release of TC. The release rates of TC and HYM could reach 98.2% (40 °C, 2.5 h) and 99.51% (60 °C, 3.0 h), respectively. The release processes of TC and HYM conformed to the first-order kinetic model. It promotes the application of environmental friendly materials in pest control of plants.

Fluorooxoborate has emerged as a promising system for exploring optical materials due to their rich structural chemistry and physicochemical properties, yet so far not fully studied. Herein, we report a new fluorooxoborate, Ba 2 B 9 O 13 F 4 ·BF 4 , which contains the greatest variety of structural basic units, [BO 3 ], [BO 2 F 2 ], [BO 3 F], and [BF 4 ], and exhibits unprecedented 1D infinite [B 18 O 26 F 8 ] tubes. The unique structure avoids the dangling bonds caused by terminal oxygens, which is beneficial to the large bandgap and deep-ultraviolet cutoff edge. This article expands the crystal structure of fluorooxoborates and contributes to the exploration of deep-ultraviolet optical materials in fluorooxoborate systems.

Al 2 O 3 -SiO 2 aerogel (ASA) was prepared by convenient ambient pressure drying using inexpensive AlCl 3 ·H 2 O as precursor, and silicon was deposited during the aging of aluminum gel. To explore the influence of Chloride ion on the property of ASA, ion exchange technology was used to remove the Chloride ion in the aluminum sol. ASA exhibits a low thermal conductivity of 0.029 W m −1 K −1 at room temperature, and the specific surface area of Cl-free ASA after heat-treated at 1200 °C is 95.2 m 2 /g, which is higher than that of the chlorine-containing aerogel (11.4 m 2 /g), showing enhanced thermal stability of ASA. Analysis of XRD and XPS indicate that the removal of chloride ions makes it more difficult for ASA to establish Al–O–Si groups during the aging process, so the γ-Al 2 O 3 and cristobalite phase do not transform to mullite phase at 1200 °C. Due to the better thermal stability of ASA, it has great potential for high-temperature applications in the fields of insulation, thermal protection materials, and building external wall thermal insulation.

SiGe-based thermoelectric (TE) materials have gained increasing interests due to their low maintenance costs, environmental friendliness and long lifespan. However, the intrinsically high thermal conductivity of Si-based materials also results in poor TE properties. In this investigation, a zirconia (ZrO 2 ) composite strategy was applied to an n-type SiGe alloy, tremendously elevating its TE performance. After mechanical alloying and spark plasma sintering (SPS) processes, the ZrO 2 induced the formation of nanopores in the SiGe matrix via phosphorus adsorption. Moreover, such increase in porosity enhanced the phonon scattering and dramatically suppressed lattice thermal conductivity, from 2.83 to 1.59 W·m −1 ·K −1 at 873 K. Additionally, reduced phosphorus doping led to an increase in Seebeck coefficients and a relatively minor decrease in electrical conductivity. The power factor didn’t deteriorate significantly, either, as its maximum of ~ 3.43 mW·m −1 ·K −2 was achieved at 873 K with (Si 0.8 Ge 0.2 ) 0.097 P 0.03 (ZrO 2 ) 0.003 . In short, a peak figure of merit ( ZT ) of ~ 1.27 at 873 K and an average ZT ~ 0.7 from 323 to 873 K were obtained. This study demonstrates that the electrical and thermal transportation of SiGe material can be synergistically tuned by compositing ZrO 2 , illustrating a novel strategy to optimize the TE properties of bulk materials.

Graphene, a two-dimensional nanomaterial, has shown tremendous promising applications in a broad range of fields. Mass production of defect-free graphene is a prerequisite for its applications. In this work, by using a needle valve, we propose a simple hydrodynamic-assisted exfoliation method to produce high-quality few-layer graphene flakes. The prepared graphene flakes, with an average layer of 5 (~ 71% less than five layers) and a Raman D/G intensity ratio as low as 0.1, are free of defects and oxidation. The average thickness and length of the few-layer graphene flakes are 2.3 nm (~ 90% < 4 nm) and 1.9 μm (~ 50% in the range of 1–7 μm), respectively. In a lab-scale trial, the concentration of graphene can reach 0.40 g/ml under mild operating conditions (working pressure 20 MPa, 16 cycles), and the corresponding production rate is 0.40 g/h. The hydrodynamic-assisted exfoliation by needle valve potentially offers a simple and efficient method for large-scale production of high-quality graphene.

The SrTiO 3 modified rutile TiO 2 composite nanofibers were synthesized by a simple electrospinning technique. The result of XRD, SEM and TEM indicate that the SrTiO 3 /TiO 2 heterojuction has been prepared successfully. Compared with the TiO 2 and SrTiO 3 , the photocatalytic activity of the SrTiO 3 /TiO 2 (rutile) for the degradation of methyl orange exhibits an obvious enhancement under UV illumination. which is almost 2 times than that of bare TiO 2 (rutile) nanofiber. Further, the high crystallinity and photon-generated carrier separation of the SrTiO 3 /TiO 2 heterojuction are considered as the main reason for this enhancement.

The separation of photo-generated carriers in heterojunctions plays a crucial role in regulating the built-in electric field. The design of materials with directional migration characteristics inside the bulk phase and at the interface between the two phases is of great significance for studying photocatalytic hydrogen evolution. The P-CdS/Ag 2 S composite photocatalytic system prepared in this study was doped with P element by heating CdS and NaH 2 PO 2 in a muffle furnace, resulting in the directed migration of photo-generated charges in the prepared sample driven by an internal electric field. By in-situ deposition of Ag 2 S on the surface of P-CdS, a Janus heterojunction was prepared to enhance the transfer of charge carriers at the phase interface. The hydrogen evolution rate of P-CdS/Ag 2 S is 12.44 mmol·h −1 ·g −1 , which is 30 times higher than that of the previously prepared pure CdS sample (0.411 mmol·h −1 ·g −1 ). This significant improvement in photocatalytic performance is attributed to the doping of P element and the in-situ loading of Ag 2 S co-catalyst, which together promote the effective separation and transport of photogenerated charge carriers, thereby enhancing the photocatalytic activity of the material. This work is of great significance for exploring the charge-directed transfer problem of sulfide photocatalysts in the field of photocatalytic hydrogen evolution. Graphical

In this work, we propose a method to prepare anode materials for LIBs from alumina industrial waste red mud. The dispersed red mud with a sand-like morphology was obtained by an aicd pretreatment combined a SDS assist hydrothermal method. The as-prepared dispersed red mud electrode delivered a high discharge/charge capacity (1668.1 mAh g −1 at 0.1 A g −1 after 200 cycles) and an excellent long-cycle performance (460 mAh g −1 at 2.0 A g −1 after 360 cycles). The outstanding electrochemical performance of the dispersed red mud electrode can be attributed to the addition of SDS, which inhibits the agglomeration of iron oxide, reduces the volume change caused by the lithium intercalation/deintercalation process, and reduces the irreversible capacity. The SiO 2 and Al 2 O 3 scattered in the red mud also play a synergistic effect, alleviating the volume expansion during charging and discharging, and improving the cycle stability of the dispersed red mud. The application of red mud in anode materials for LIBs may provide an idea for the recycling of waste resources, reducing energy shortages and easing environmental pollution.

Herein, an iron-doped ZIF-8-loaded multi-walled carbon nanotube (FZM) was synthesized and its adsorption performance on tetracycline (TC) was investigated. The experimental conditions (solution pH, temperature, adsorbent dose) were optimized by Box–Behnken design (BBD) in response surface methodology (RSM). The results show that the adsorption effect of TC by FZM is optimal under the conditions of temperature = 298 K, pH = 6, and contact time = 360 min. The adsorption processes of TC by FZM follow the pseudo-second-order (PSO) kinetic and Freundlich isotherm models, indicating that chemisorption is the dominant factor and the adsorption reaction is multi-layer, with a theoretical maximum saturation capacity of 1111.11 mg/g at 298 K. The adsorption thermodynamic results indicate that the adsorption of TC by FZM is a spontaneous and endothermic process. The mechanism of TC adsorption by FZM possibly occurs through hydrogen bonding, surface complexation, π–π interaction, and electrostatic interaction. From the statistical results, the optimal adsorption capacity of TC by FZM is 599.78 mg/g at a pH of 7.1, a temperature of 312.5 K, and an adsorbent dose of 64.43 mg/L, with a deviation of 1.73% from the actual value. Furthermore, regeneration experiments demonstrate that FZM has excellent reusability with a 15% loss of adsorption capacity after four cycles. This study provides some insights to study the adsorption behavior of TC by MOFs and the optimization of the adsorption experimental conditions, and also shows the potential of FZM for TC removal.

Pesticide residues in water can cause varying degrees of damage to the ecological system and human health, attracting widespread attention. During this research, a cost-effective, easily synthesized, and high surface area mesoporous poly (melamine–formaldehyde) (mPMF) was employed as an adsorbent to effectively absorb forchlorfenuron (CPPU) pesticide from water. The maximum adsorption capacity and maximum adsorption effectiveness were found to be 231.43 mg/g and 81%, respectively. The study of adsorption kinetics revealed that the adsorption mechanism conforms to a quasi-second-order kinetic model, indicating that chemical adsorption predominates, and the overall adsorption process is influenced by two or more factors. The adsorption isotherm experiment demonstrated that the adsorption mechanism is better described by the Freundlich model, suggesting that mPMF exhibits multi-layer heterogeneous adsorption of CPPU, involving both physical and chemical adsorption mechanisms. Additionally, mPMF showed the potential for cyclic regeneration through desorption after adsorbing CPPU from water, as its adsorption capacity remained largely unaffected even after four consecutive cycles.

Although researchers have previously examined whether graphene modified by sulfur can improve the electrochemical performance of LiFePO 4 /C composites, they have rarely examined whether it can do so during the synchronous synthesis of LiFePO 4 /C and sulfur-modified reduced graphene oxide (SG) via a one-step hydrothermal method. To answer this question, a series of olivine structure LiFePO 4 /C composites wrapped with SG were investigated. Subsequently, we found that SG can form a three-dimensional conductive network on the surface of the LiFePO 4 /C sample. In the process, XRD and HRTEM tests were undertaken as well. From the XRD test, the results show that SG does not affect the olivine structure of LiFePO 4 /C. In the HRTEM experiment, clear lattice fringes and a uniformly coated carbon layer on the sample surface were observed. Alongside these results, there were 4 others. First, the charge–discharge data showed that the electrochemical performance of the samples could be increased by SG modification. Second, sample S2 with a mass ratio of Na 2 S to rGO of 1:10 shows the best specific discharge capacity and stability. Third, the specific capacity of S2 is 163 mAhg −1 at 0.2 C, and the capacity retention is 108.23% even after 200 cycles at a magnification of 10 C. Fourth, according to EIS, the charge migrating resistance of S2 is 226.4 Ω, and the lithium-ion diffusion coefficient is 2.41 × 10 −14 cm 2 ·S −1 . The significance of these results is that they indicate that wrapping LiFePO 4 /C with SG significantly contributed to the improvement of its electrochemical performance.
