Abstract Controlling the corrosion rate is critical for practical applications of Mg-based alloys. In this work, we constructed a protective coating of hybrid polycaprolactone (H-PCL)/indocyanine green (ICG) on AZ31 Mg alloy, whose degradation rate was controlled by 808-nm near-infrared (NIR) light irradiation. The corrosion behaviors of H-PCL/ICG coated Mg alloys were systematically investigated by potentiodynamic polarization tests, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and hydrogen evolution experiments. The results disclosed that the H-PCL/ICG composite coating could effectively protect Mg alloy from corroding without NIR light irradiation. In contrast, under 808-nm NIR light irradiation, the corrosion resistance of this composite coating was decreased significantly, i.e., the corrosion current density ( i corr ) increased from (8.81 ± 1.068) × 10 −8 to (1.22 ± 0.545) × 10 −6 A·cm −2 . This is because the component of ICG in the coating was excited to produce heat locally, which triggered the glass transition temperature ( T g ) of H-PCL in the coating, resulting in the motion of the molecular chain segment. Consequently, the electrolytes penetrated the coating and corroded the Mg substrate. In vitro biological experiment indicated that the synthesized coating exhibited good cytocompatibility. Hence, these findings will provide a new strategy for designing novel photoresponsive coatings to remotely adjust the degradation rate of biodegradable metals for biomedical applications.

Carbon materials with suitable pore size distribution, high specific surface area and good wettability are crucial for the capacitive deionization (CDI) electrode. Herein, the Mg-MOF-74 derived carbon (MMCK) is prepared by solvothermal synthesis, carbonization, and potassium hydroxide (KOH) activation method. The MMCK has super hydrophilicity and rich hierarchical porous structure composed of micropores, mesopores and macropores. The capacitive deionization of MMCK is investigated in NaCl aqueous solution. The MMCK has high oxygen doping amount, and has a high electrosorption capacity (16.82 mg·g −1 ) for 500 mg·L −1 NaCl. This indicates that MMCK is novel and potential material for capacitive deionization.

To limit corrosion and retain activity of magnesium anode, magnesium–air batteries with double solutions: 0.5 M Mg(ClO 4 ) 2 - N , N -dimethylformamide (DMF)/0.6 M NaCl-H 2 O, 0.5 M Mg(ClO 4 ) 2 –acetonitrile (AN)/0.6 M NaCl-H 2 O are prepared. Cathodic and anodic reactions proceed in inorganic and organic solutions separately. Discharge performance, discharge morphology, and corrosion behavior of magnesium anode are researched. Results obtained show that organic electrolytes separate anode from the aqueous electrolyte, thus improving anode utilization rate. Due to 0.6 M NaCl solution used in air cathode side, the batteries show higher discharge voltages. A better discharge performance has been observed in double electrolytes at 1 mA·cm −2 discharge. Results of discharge morphology and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy agree well with discharge performance. The discharge mechanism of magnesium anode in different solutions is also discussed.

Magnesium (Mg) and its alloys are regarded as the most promising engineering materials because of their unique property. However, the Mg alloys were easily corroded in humid environments, which restricted their wider applications. Herein, the superhydrophobic ZIF-8/PVDF/LDH (SZPL) double-layered coating was fabricated on Mg alloys via electrodeposition and dip-coating methods, which consisted of the underlying layered double hydroxide (LDH) transition structure and top superhydrophobic zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) layer. Besides, the LDH transition structure not only worked as a protection shield but also strengthened the binding force between the substrate and the top superhydrophobic ZIF-8 layer. The top superhydrophobic ZIF-8 layer could serve as an armor on the LDH layer to further prevent the corrosive ions from infiltrating the microporous defects. In addition, the as-prepared SZPL double-layered coating showed robust superhydrophobic and self-cleaning properties, which could block the electrolyte invasion. Furthermore, the electrochemical tests demonstrated that the SZPL coating highly enhanced the corrosion protection ability of Mg alloys. Moreover, the superhydrophobic ZIF-8-based coating could still retain excellent anticorrosion property after immersion in 3.5 wt % NaCl solution for 7 days. The enhanced anticorrosion ability was ascribed to the fact that a synergistic effect of the underlying LDH transition layer hindered the transmission of aggressive ions and the top superhydrophobic ZIF-8-based coating decreased the contact area of the substrate with corrosive solution. Therefore, such coatings offer a new strategy for fabricating excellent anticorrosive coatings with robust superhydrophobicity and self-cleaning performance on metal substrates.

Mg0.2Mn0.8NdxFe2-xO4 (x = 0.000, 0.025, 0.050, 0.075 and 0.010) nano crystalline is synthesized via hydrothermal technique. Single cubic spinel phase is confirmed by XRD and the formation of Mg0.2Mn0.8NdxFe2-xO4 is verified by EDS. The average size of the nanoferrites is examined by TEM image. Nd3+ substituted Mg-Mn nanoferrites exhibit the low saturation magnetization (Ms) and high coercivity (Hc). The ferrite composites present that the resistivity and the magnetic loss are less than 2.8×107 Ω·cm and 0.75 in the range of 2-18 GHz, respectively. The optimized Mg0.2Mn0.8NdxFe2-xO4 (x=0.050) showed the minimum reflection loss of -39.80 dB at 1.4 GHz and effective absorption bandwidth (lower than -10 dB) of 7.58 GHz with a thickness of only 3 mm. The high coercivity, resistivity and excellent wave absorption performance indicate that the addition of Nd3+ contributes to the synthesis of the excellent soft magnetic materials and wave absorbing materials.

Ni and carbon materials exhibit remarkable catalysis for the hydriding reaction of Mg. But the underlying mechanism of Ni/C hybrid catalysis is still unclear. In this work, density functional theory (DFT) calculation is applied to investigate the effect of Ni/C co-incorporation on the hydriding reaction of Mg crystal. The morphology and crystal structure of the Ni/C co-incorporated Mg sample show that the co-incorporated structure is credible. The transition state searching calculation suggests that both the incorporations of Ni and C are beneficial for the H 2 dissociation. But Ni atom has a dramatic improvement for H 2 dissociation and makes the H diffusion become limiting step of the hyriding reaction. The Ni d z 2 orbit and H s orbit accept the electrons and combine together compactly, while the Ni d xy orbit is half-occupied. The catalytic effect of Ni on H 2 dissociation can be ascribed to the bridging effect of Ni d xy orbit. The incorporation of C can weaken the over-strong interaction between Ni and H which hindered the H diffusion on Mg(0001). The Ni/C co-incorporated Mg(0001) shows the best performance during hyriding reaction compared with the clean and single incorporated Mg(0001).

The shortage of fossil resources and strict environmental regulations have ignited great efforts in the production of bio-based fuels and chemicals via biorefinery. Herein, considering the strong interaction between Ni and Mg species, we specially designed and prepared Ni/CaMgO and Ni/MgSiO for alkylation and hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) reactions during the upgrading of the acetone–butanol–ethanol (ABE) fermentation mixture. Gratifyingly, the Mg-decorated catalysts exhibited great catalytic performance: a selectivity of 63.9% under a conversion of 94.2% was achieved for C8–C15 ketones and alcohols, which is higher than that over other heterogeneous alkali-based catalysts, and the obtained mixture was completely converted into the corresponding alkanes at 190 °C (H2 pressure: 1 MPa). It is worth noting that jet fuels or gasoline could be efficiently and selectively obtained by facile adjustment of the composition of the ABE fermentation product. Moreover, investigation on the structure–activity correlation confirmed that the outstanding activity of Ni/MgSiO for HDO could be attributed to the synergic catalysis between Ni0 and strong acid sites. The Ni/CaMgO and Ni/MgSiO catalysts reported in this work offer three advantages: selectively upgrading zymotic biomass wastes into biofuels, replacing the expensive noble metal (Pd) by the base metal (Ni), and realizing the HDO process under mild conditions and complying with the principles of “green chemistry”. Overall, this work opens a new possibility for biofuel production, which is conductive to the rational design and implementation of highly active heterogeneous catalysts.

Abstract Catalytic depolymerization of lignin to produce bio-oil, liquid fuels, and aromatic chemicals in high yields is important for a biorefinery to remain competitive. In this study, undoped and Ni-doped catalysts for depolymerization of rice husk lignin (RHL) were developed and analyzed. The results showed that the catalysts had hydrotalcite-like structures with lamellar morphology. With suitable Ni-doping amount, the catalysts had high activity, thus better promoted the depolymerization of RHL. Among all catalysts, the Ni1/4MgAl catalyst could best promote the cleavage of the β-O-4 aryl ether bond in RHL molecule and thus could substantially increase the yields of bio-oil. The depolymerization catalyzed by this catalyst was also found to be temperature-, time-, and solvent-dependent. This study provides information that can be beneficial to the biorefinery industries and may help promote the valorization of lignin. Graphic Abstract

Single phase cubic spinel is confirmed by XRD and the formation of Mg0.2Mn0.8HoxFe2−xO4 is verified by EDS. The average size for the nanoferrites is around 80 nm which is examined by TEM with the presence of agglomerated particles.

Especially, with x = 0.100, the nanoferrites show the lowest Ms and Hc of 46.850 emu g−1 and 46 Oe, respectively. The ferrite composites present the dielectric dissipation less than 0.37 and the magnetic loss less than 0.46 at 2–18 GHz. The low saturation magnetization, low coercivity and low dielectric dissipation indicate that the addition of Ho3+ contributes to synthesize better soft magnetic materials.

The photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting performance of hematite-based photoanodes is still far from their theoretical value due to the ultrafast charge recombination in bulk and on the surface. In response, we developed a regrowth strategy to fabricate a photoanode with metallic Mg-doped α-Fe2O3 coating on nonmetallic P-doped α-Fe2O3 nanorods (Mg-Fe2O3/P-Fe2O3 NRs). This homojunction structure fulfils the requirements of both high charge separation efficiency and favorable band alignment, showing a high photocurrent density (4.7-fold higher than pristine Fe2O3) and low onset potential of 0.68 VRHE. Experimental and density functional theory (DFT) results reveal that the origin of such superior PEC performance is P-doping and Mg-Fe2O3 coating, which efficiently eliminate lattice mismatching, improve the conductivity of hematite, and simultaneously promote the photogenic carriers separation by the built-in electric field. This promising design may open an avenue to fabricating various efficient homojunction photoanodes for practical PEC water splitting.

Flower-shaped hydromagnesite (MgO-P) and magnesium oxide (MgO) micro spheres were synthesized via precipitation-aging method with and without calcination. The disassociated nano flaky petal of around 50 nm (~ 20 nm in thickness) of MgO-P and MgO by sonication were used as flame-retardants for the electrospun cellulose acetate (CA)/MgO-P or CA/MgO nanofiber. SEM, XRD, FTIR, HRTEM were used to characterize all related products. TGA was used to analyze the detailed decomposition procedures of bare, MgO-P, and MgO doped CA nanofiber. Three evaluation methods including broken time after heating, thermography during heating, and combustion observation were adopted to compare the flame-retardancy of composited nanofibers. Doped CA nanofibers showed best flame-retardancy by extending the heat-induced broken time from 0.46 to 12.09 s, which is 26.3 times that of CA nanofiber. The flame of CA/MgO-P and CA/MgO could be self-extinguished once the ignition source was removed. No smoke and size shrinkage could be observed during the combustion of CA/MgO-P or CA/MgO nanofibers. Corresponding flame-retarding mechanism of Mg-based nano flaky petal was proposed.
