Poriferous monocrystal-like nanostructures are contributing to fabricate long-distance charge transfer pathways and rapid diffusions of the degraded products, and attracts wide attentions. In this work, layered and poriferous (Al,C)–Ta 2 O 5 mesocrystals were fabricated by topotactic transformation strategy with Ta 4 AlC 3 MAX as starting materials for visible-light photocatalytic antibiotic degradation. The prepared sample exhibited enhanced visible-light absorption and visible-light photocatalytic performance, far superior to those of commercial Ta 2 O 5 and Ta 4 AlC 3 MAX, which was mainly because of the elemental doping in the samples. The experimental results also indicated that continuous attacks of the photo-generated holes and ·O 2 − species efficiently induced efficient visible-light photodegradation of tetracycline . Current work also indicates a new and potential tantalum-based semiconductors for high-performance environmental photocatalysis .

Aqueous Al–ion battery (AAIB) is regarded as a promising candidate for large-scale energy storage systems due to its high capacity, high safety, and low cost, with MnO 2 proved to be a high-performance cathode. However, the potential commercial application of this type of battery is plagued by the frequent structural collapse of MnO 2 . Herein, an in situ, electrochemically reformed, urchin-like Al x MnO 2 cathode is developed for water-in-salt electrolyte-based AAIBs. Benefiting from its unique α-MnO 2 coated Mn 2 AlO 4 structure, a high Al ion storage capacity is achieved together with a high discharge voltage plateau of 1.9 V by reversible MnO 2 electrolysis. Consequently, the battery exhibits a high specific capacity of 285 mAh g –1 and a high energy density of 370 Wh kg –1 at a high current density of 500 mA g –1 . Improved stability with record capacity retention is also obtained at an ultrahigh current density of 5 A g –1 after 500 cycles. Such a high-capacity and high-stability Al x MnO 2 cathode would pave the way for in situ electrochemical transformation of cathode design and thus boost the practical application of AAIBs.

Electrochemical reduction and photocatalytic reduction of CO 2 have attracted more and more attention, but they also face the problem of low utilization efficiency of electricity and solar energy. In this study, a new strategy of applying a novel Al–Sn-CNTs composite in electrochemical corrosion process was proposed to reduce CO 2 without additional electricity and light. In the Al–Sn-CNTs/CO 2 system, micro galvanic cell with Al as anode and Sn or CNTs as cathode was formed, and CO 2 was reduced to formic acid on the cathode surface . The cumulative formic acid concentration of the Al–Sn-CNTs/CO 2 system achieved 21.18 mg/L within 60 min under the conditions of initial pH 9.0, Cl − concentration 10 mmol/L, and Al–Sn-CNTs composite dosage 2 g/L. Based on the morphology, crystal structure and electrochemical test results of the Al–Sn-CNTs composite, a possible mechanism of CO 2 reduction to formic acid in the Al–Sn-CNTs/CO 2 system was proposed.

LiNi0.8Co0.1Mn0.1O2 (NCM811) became a research hot point because of its low cost, environmental friendliness, and excellent electrochemical performance. However, Li+/Ni2+ intermixing is an essential factor affecting its applicability. Doping could be an important method to improve the electrochemical performance of NCM811-based cathode materials. In this work, La and Al co-doped NCM811 was prepared by a solid-state method. Results from X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) and electrochemical performance were discussed in depth. These showed that when La and Al doping concentrations were 1 and 0.5%, the samples showed the best performance. The as-improved performances were mainly attributed to the reduced Li+/Ni2+ intermixing, suppressed phase transition, and decreased potential polarization and impedance.

The potential of a multiphase Al–Li alloy with the unreported Al1.08Li1.92 phase for use as a hydrolytic material to produce hydrogen was studied. This alloy enabled rapid hydrogen release in a wide temperature range with robust hydrogen yield. It could produce 1496 ml H2 per g within merely 0.5 min at 299 K and release 1076 ml H2 per g in 0.5 min even at a subzero temperature of 243 K. The hydrogen production kinetics were confirmed with a chemical step and could be well controlled by tailoring the solution components of water/ethanol mixtures. Furthermore, the alloy showed good air-resistance ability, indicating its suitability for safe handling and transport in practical applications. Our results confirmed the excellent hydrogen production achieved using this Al-based generation system. It might shed light on the progress of hydrogen production technologies for commercial use.

The development of 3D printing technology provides a new idea for the application of energy-containing materials as functional reactive materials, which helps Al–F high-energy materials to achieve customized performance and structure, so that energy transmit can be targeted. A high fuel-load ink (up to 90 wt%) based on Al-polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is designed and fabricated using fluororubber (FR) as a binder. The content of FR is directly related to the mechanical properties of ink, and the customized structure from the uniform and stable deposition can be obtained by adjusting the content of FR (10–20 wt%). Under the display of high-speed photography, the ink shows a strong stability in combustion performance, which is conducive to realize the performance customization of the ink in the application. To better understand the combustion mechanism, the thermal properties and combustion process are analyzed in brief through thermal analysis and the combustion snapshots.

Tetracycline detection has been a great concern because of its overuse and difficulty in degrading. Here, a detection method with ratio fluorescence was developed by synthesizing Eu3+ doped nanocomposites with NH2-MIL-53(Al) nanosheets. After adding tetracycline, the fluorescence intensity at 616 nm characteristic emission peak of Eu3+ was sensitized by the antenna effect generated from coordinating Eu3+ with tetracycline, but the fluorescence of NH2-MIL-53(Al) at 433 nm was quenched by the fluorescence resonance energy transfer between the Eu3+-tetracycline composition and NH2-MIL-53(Al). Therefore, the efficient detection of tetracycline was achieved based on this change of ratio fluorescence signal. The experimental results show that Eu3+/NH2-MIL-53(Al) has excellent selectivity, a wider linear range and a lower detection limit for detecting tetracycline. This method can afford favorable ideas for developing advanced chemical and biological sensors.

Amino-MIL-53(Al) nanosheets were synthesized by a hydrothermal reaction and were employed as a fluorescent probe because of their high quantum yield and excellent stability. The amino-MIL-53(Al) nanosheets have a maximum fluorescence emission peak at 435 nm using an excitation wavelength of 335 nm. The fluorescent intensity of luminophor at 435 nm was linearly quenched when mercury (II) (Hg2+) was added, which occurred due to the adsorption of Hg2+ onto the luminophor surface. Under these conditions, the fluorescent signal of the system is in the “turn-off” state. Following the addition of glutathione (GSH) into the system, the quenched fluorescence intensity may be partially restored based on the reaction between glutathione and Hg2+. In this condition, the fluorescent signal of the amino-MIL-53(Al)-Hg2+ system is in the “turn-on” state. Therefore, the amino-MIL-53(Al) nanosheets were successfully used as a “turn-off-on” fluorescent sensing system to determine the concentrations of Hg2+ in Tibetan medicine and glutathione in rabbit serum. A good correlation coefficient was obtained between the quenching of the fluorescence intensity of luminophor and the concentration of Hg2+ using the optimized conditions. A linear range was acquired from 1.96 nM to 38.27 μM with a detection limit of 0.23 nM of Hg2+ based upon a signal-to-noise ratio of three. For glutathione, the linear dynamic range was from 210 nM to 15.25 μM with a detection limit equal to 8.11 nM based upon a signal-to-noise ratio of three. This developed sensor system has the advantages of high selectivity, favorable sensitivity and simple operation for the determination of Hg2+ and glutathione in real samples.

The development of nanothermites with adjustable reactivity has always been the research hotspot in the field of energetic materials, and its key issue is to control the interfacial contact extent and diffusion length between fuel and oxidizer. Here, the 3DOM CuO/Al, 3DOM CuO/Al-NPs and CuO-NPs/Al-NPs nanothermites, which show a gradual decrease in contact extents between reactants, were firstly prepared simultaneously using magnetron sputtering, P4VP self-assembly and ultrasonic mixing, respectively. The DSC thermograms show that the heat release of the 3DOM CuO/Al (sputtering 200 nm Al) can reach 2541.4 J/g, much larger than either value of the prepared 3DOM CuO/Al-NPs and CuO-NPs/Al-NPs. The activation energies of these CuO/Al systems also exhibit the similar results as the heat releases. However, the 3DOM CuO/Al-NPs can lead to the highest combustion pressure (24.6 MPa), the shortest pressure rise time (0.067 ms), and the fastest pressurization rate (647.98 GPa/s), followed orderly in corresponding values by the CuO-NPs/Al-NPs and 3DOM CuO/Al. All data indicate that the contact extent between CuO and Al plays a great effect on the overall reactivity, and their differences in structure and volume are responsible for the diverse combustion pressure performance. Furthermore, the presence of reaction voids between components can promote the O diffusion to enhance the continuous mass and heat transfer for an efficacious reaction. Hence, it is believed that similar methods can be used to improve the contact extent and diffusion length between fuels and oxidants so as to achieve an adjustment in reactivity for various nanothermites.

Ta–W alloys have unique properties but their applications at high temperatures are restricted due to their poor oxidation resistances. The addition of Al and Ti decreases the oxidation rate of the alloy, as Al-contained protective oxide layer could be formed. In this study, ternary and quaternary Ta–W alloys containing Al and Ti were prepared by hot press sintering. The microstructures and oxidation behaviors of the alloys were studied at 1173 K. The results show that the oxidation kinetics of all alloys follows a parabolic law at short oxidation periods. After cyclic oxidation, the kinetics of quaternary alloys still obeys the parabolic law but that of ternary alloy has been changed into linear law kinetics after 8-h oxidation. For ternary alloy, an outer layer with dense and continuous alumina was formed during the initial stage, and phase transformation caused the oxides to peel off. By comparison, the quaternary alloys depicted continuously solid solution of the oxides layer. Overall, Al and Ti played key roles in oxidation degree and affected the oxidation kinetics of ternary and quaternary alloys.

Graphene oxide (GO) with outstanding mechanical properties and high temperature stability is attractive to many researchers. As a flame retardant, GO also has been widely used in fire resistance applications of polymers. Herein, to explore ignition resistance effect of GO on nanothermite, GO/Al/MnO 2 nanocomposites were prepared. Due to the large specific surface area, GO can completely cover the surface of nanothermite components. Thermal results showed that exothermic thermite reaction occurred in the range of 500 °C to 600 °C while with GO addition, thermite reaction did not happen at all. Originally, combustion phenomenon of Al/MnO 2 nanothermite was intense with bright flame, but GO/Al/MnO 2 nanocomposites cannot be ignited even if the current on heating wires was higher. The physical barrier of GO hinders the direct contact between fuel and oxidizer which prevents the occurrence of self-propagating thermite reaction. This work provides guiding significance to the design of nanothermite flame retardant.
