Lithium silicate (Li 4 SiO 4 ), an efficient CO 2 high-temperature sorbent , has become the research hotspot in CO 2 capture due to its large theoretical adsorption capacity and fast rate. How to further reduce production cost while ensuring the adsorption performance has become the key to industrial application. In this work, using Al, Fe, Ti co-doped SiO 2 aerogel synthesized from fly ash as silicon source, Li 4 SiO 4 sorbents were achieved through solid-state calcination method. The influences of preparing conditions on the microstructure and CO 2 capture property were systematically investigated. Under the optimum conditions, the as-prepared Li 4 SiO 4 demonstrated the best CO 2 adsorption capacity of 33.24 wt% within 7.0 min. Particularly, the CO 2 capture capacity remained 23.38 wt% (>70% of the first value) after 35 cycles, indicative of long cycle stability. Moreover, the kinetic characteristics of CO 2 adsorption process could be well simulated by the double exponential model, and the diffusion process of Li + /O 2− ions was the decisive step of the whole adsorption reaction. Compared with Li 4 SiO 4 by pure reagents, the sorbent from fly ash-based aerogel exhibited competitive adsorption capacity, which provides a new cost-effective way to synthesize CO 2 high-temperature sorbent with super capture performance and good cycle stability.

Superhydrophobic coatings have aroused increasing interest in many fields. However, the low light transmittance , poor mechanical robustness, and unsatisfactory chemical stability greatly limit the practical application of superhydrophobic coatings. Herein, a robust transparent superhydrophobic coating was prepared through a facile two-step dipping treatment. The coated glass displays good transparency with transmittance about 87 % in the wavelength range of 500–900 nm, remarkable superhydrophobic performance with a water contact angle of 158.8° and a sliding angle less than 1.0°. After a series of durability tests, including grit impact, etching in acidic and alkaline environments, and long-term outdoor exposure, the obtained coating can still maintain good superhydrophobic and transparency, which confirms the obtained coating has good mechanical robustness and chemical stability. Moreover, the coating exhibits good anti-icing property with a longer icing time and can maintain superhydrophobicity after 80 icing/de-icing cycles. It can be believed that such transparent superhydrophobic coating can be applied in many fields, owing to its low-cost and environmentally friendly fabrication method and its good performances in mechanical robustness and chemical stability.

The dielectric layer plays a key role in regulating electromagnetic wave broadband scattering based on meta-surface technology. Herein, the physical properties of composite powder, prepared by spray drying of CaO-B 2 O 3 -SiO 2 (CBS) glass-ceramic powder and Al 2 O 3 in different mass ratios, are systematically investigated. Meanwhile, a high enthalpy atmospheric plasma spraying equipment is utilized to prepare CBS/Al 2 O 3 composite coatings , and the morphology, physical properties and dielectric properties of the composite coating are analyzed. The XRD and DSC data of the composite coating reveal that the crystallization behavior of β-CaSiO 3 and CaB 2 O 4 gradually disappear with the increase of Al 2 O 3 content. Hence, only CaAl 2 Si 2 O 8 phase is observed during heat treatment. The experimental results confirm that the dielectric properties of CBS/Al 2 O 3 composite coating conform to the rule of mixture for composite materials. Also, the dielectric properties are affected by porosity and crystallization rate.

Superwetting interfacial porous membranes with different wettabilities have enormous potential for wastewater treatment. The wettability of most smart separation membranes is controlled by external environmental factors such as temperature, pH, and pressure. In a constant environment, they have only one kind of wettability and can separate only one type of emulsion, and in multiple extreme environments, they become “unintelligent” and even lose their separation ability. Inspired by China's “Face-Changing in Sichuan Opera,” we have prepared a novel electrospun SiNPs/ZnNPs-SiO 2 /TiO 2 (SZST) nanofiber membrane by a calcining-spraying method. The obtained membrane can rapidly switch its wettability in various environments for the controllable separation of both oil-in-water and water-in-oil emulsions. The advanced electrospinning, combined with micro-nano hierarchical structures, greatly improved the wettability and porosity of the membrane, making the separation efficiency more than 99% stable. Additionally, the flux was maintained at about 2000 L/m 2 h. Interestingly, the separation efficiency showed almost no change in various harsh environments (e.g., strongly acidic and alkaline conditions, high or low temperatures, and even salty media), and the developed membrane exhibited excellent recyclability. In addition to good corrosion resistance and chemical stability, the membrane demonstrated excellent fire and frost resistance. Therefore, the SZST nanofiber membrane has great practical value in industrial production.

Background The residues of kanamycin can accumulate in the human body for a long time and pose serious health risks, including hearing loss , kidney poisoning, and drug allergic reactions. Therefore, it is crucial to develop a rapid, highly sensitive, and low-cost method for detecting kanamycin residues in foods. However, the current methods have limitations such as low sensitivity, expensive instruments, and multiple steps, which make them impractical for use in resource-limited environments and emergencies. In this study, the creation of a multiple-signal amplification photoelectrochemical biosensor to address these aforementioned issues is discussed. Results Herein, we proposed a multiple signal amplification photoelectrochemical (PEC) biosensor based on carboxylated g-C 3 N 4 and avidin functionalized Ru@SiO 2 for the ultrasensitive detection of kanamycin. The carboxylated g-C 3 N 4 was a highly efficient photoactive substance for amplifying photoelectric signals and a substrate for aptamer immobilization. The DOS and PDOS of g-C 3 N 4 were studied by simulation, and the sensing mechanism of the probe at the molecular level was revealed. Meanwhile, using Ru@SiO 2 as a signal amplifying unit, through the cooperative work between Ru@SiO 2 and g-C 3 N 4 , the photoelectric signal could be double amplified to produce an excellent photocurrent response. Under optimized conditions, the photocurrent response of the PEC biosensor to kanamycin was obtained at concentrations from 0.1 nM to 1000 nM with a lower detection limit of 4.1052 × 10 −11 mol L −1 . This protocol demonstrates high sensitivity, brilliant specific recognition ability, excellent reproducibility, and acceptable stability. Significance The first combination of g-C 3 N 4 and avidin-Ru@SiO 2 as photocurrent materials greatly enhanced the sensitivity of the PEC biosensors. Moreover, the specificity and sensitivity of the PEC biosensor were further improved through the specific interaction between kanamycin and aptamer. The photoelectric conversion mechanism based on g-C 3 N 4 and two pathways for enhancing the photocurrent by Ru(byp) 3 2+ were proposed. Through simulations of the DOS and PDOS of g-C 3 N 4 , the sensing mechanism of the probe at the molecular level was revealed. Under the optimum conditions, the PEC biosensor exhibited a wide linear concentration range and a low detection limit.

Mixtures of silica nanoparticles (SiO2NPs) and natural organic matter (NOM) are ubiquitous in natural aquatic environments and pose risks to organisms. Ultrafiltration (UF) membranes can effectively remove SiO2NP–NOM mixtures. However, the corresponding membrane fouling mechanisms, particularly under different solution conditions, have not yet been studied. In this work, the effect of solution chemistry on polyethersulfone (PES) UF membrane fouling caused by a SiO2NP–NOM mixture was investigated at different pH levels, ionic strengths, and calcium concentrations. The corresponding membrane fouling mechanisms, i.e., Lifshitz–van der Waals (LW), electrostatic (EL), and acid–base (AB) interactions, were quantitatively evaluated using the extended Derjaguin–Landau–Verwey–Overbeek (xDLVO) theory. It was found that the extent of membrane fouling increased with decreasing pH, increasing ionic strength, and increasing calcium concentration. The attractive AB interaction between the clean/fouled membrane and foulant was the major fouling mechanism in both the initial adhesion and later cohesion stages, while the attractive LW and repulsive EL interactions were less important. The change of fouling potential with solution chemistry was negatively correlated with the calculated interaction energy, indicating that the UF membrane fouling behavior under different solution conditions can be effectively explained and predicted using the xDLVO theory.Keywords:ultrafiltration;membrane fouling;silica nanoparticles (SiO2NPs);natural organic matter (NOM);interfacial interaction;xDLVO theory

Composites used in aircraft are vulnerable to mechanical and thermal damage during particle impact at high speeds. In this paper, a series of gradient polyurethane silica coatings with different silica particle sizes and concentration gradients were prepared on epoxy resin matrix composites by pneumatic spraying process. The results of corundum impact and thermal insulation performance experiments indicated that multi-layer gradient coatings improved the particle impact resistance and thermal insulation. The damage was reduced to <1 % of surface damage area and thickness loss under the protection of enhanced gradient coatings, showing excellent particle impact resistance. Under unidirectional heating conditions, the temperature difference between the heating plate and the sample surface was four times that of the unprotected sample, from 2.2 °C to 9.4 °C, and the total thermal conductivity of the protected sample was reduced by 91.73 %. The coatings remained intact under high-speed particle collision of 300 A plasma flow, which verified the protection performance of the coatings simulating the situation that the coatings were impacted by particles and heated simultaneously. The as-prepared gradient coatings can effectively enhance the anti-impact and thermal insulation performance of composites, exhibiting wide application prospects.

To effectively shield the full band of ultraviolet (UV) radiation and provide desirable protection, the combination of inorganic and organic filters was often used to protect human skin from the serious harm of UV exposure. However, the incompatibility of different filters and their mutual negative effect limit the production of multifilter sunscreen. In addition, the hazard of reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced by inorganic filters after UV exposure and the skin permeability of organic filters remain unresolved problems. In this study, titanium dioxide (TiO2) and diethylamino hydroxybenzoyl hexyl benzoate (DHHB), two kinds of common filters with complementary UV shielding range, were first encapsulated into large mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSN, ∼300 nm) to obtain MSN-TiO2 and MSN-DHHB. Also, a SiO2 coating was then made to seal and stabilize the MSN-TiO2 and MSN-DHHB. The structure, UV screen function, and safety of the SiO2-coated filters, MSN-TiO2@SiO2 and MSN-DHHB@SiO2, were evaluated. The good mechanical stability exhibited by the solid SiO2 layer prevented the release and skin penetration of the sealed DHHB and the photocatalysis of TiO2. Furthermore, the combination of MSN-TiO2@SiO2 and MSN-DHHB@SiO2 in sunscreen cream showed excellent UV shielding performance on covering the whole UV radiation range without mutual interference. Therefore, coating SiO2 over MSN is a feasible strategy for entrapping various filters to improve their photostability, preventing skin penetration and ROS generation, and enhancing their compatibility with different sunscreen formulations.

The ex-situ method is suitable for the preparation and practical engineering application of large-sized adsorption materials like sponges. pH-responsiveness can solve the post-treatment problem of oil-absorbing sponges. Here, a facile ex-situ method is proposed to construct large-sized multi-functional oil-water separation materials by adsorbing pH-responsive magnetic core-shell structured nanoparticles (MNP) onto different substrates including sponge, metal mesh, and sandpaper. The MNPs are prepared by chemical coating and surface modification. The sponge can achieve in-situ renewable oil-water separation through the "oil absorption - oil desorption" process under different pH values, and the oil droplets exhibit a segmented wiredrawing desorption process. The generated secondary oily wastewater can be further separated through modified metal mesh, which can treat oily wastewater with more complex situations such as oil-water-oil three-phase mixtures. The detached nanoparticles (NP) can be easily recycled and reused through magnets. This method can achieve a large-scale in-situ treatment renewable oil-water separation process that integrates wastewater purification, oil collection, and material regeneration, which is environmentally friendly, energy-saving, and suitable for engineering applications.

The development of highly effective bio-lubricant coatings for arthritis treatment is extremely demanded. Herein, inspired by the efficient lubrication of articular cartilage, acrylic acid (AA) with (3-(methacryloylamino) propyl) dimethyl (3-sulfopropyl) ammonium hydroxide (MPDSAH) hydrogel coatings containing nanoparticles on Ti6Al4V substrate were designed and fabricated via UV grafting technology. SiO 2 and SiO 2 grafted with PAA polymer brushes (SiO 2 -g-PAA) were separately doped into the PAA-PMPDSAH hydrogel. The PAA-PMPDSAH/SiO 2 -g-PAA exhibits good tensile and compressive properties compared with PAA-PMPDSAH/SiO 2 hydrogel, with an enhancement of 183.4% in tensile modulus and 60.8% in compressive modulus. The PAA-PMPDSAH/SiO 2 -g-PAA hydrogel coatings exhibit a low wear volume, 2.9 ± 0.16 × 10 6 μm 3 , representing a decline of 32.1% and 61.3% compared with the PAA-PMPDSAH and PAA-PMPDSAH/SiO 2 hydrogel coatings, respectively. The antiwear performance has obviously improved. The hydrophilic PAA polymer brushes prevent the agglomeration of nanoparticles and promote homogeneously dispersion within the hydrogel. The three-dimensional crosslinked network structure of hydrogel effectively protects the structural integrity of the polymer brushes, thereby facilitating enduring lubrication properties. This work provides a strategy for promising artificial joint lubrication in biomedical fields.

Graphical Get the yolk ! A hierarchical yolk–shell Fe@SiO 2 /Ni catalyst with an inner movable Fe core and an ultrathin SiO 2 /Ni shell assembled from nanosheets was synthesized by a self-templating reduction strategy (see figure). The spatial confinement of 4 nm Ni nanoparticles in ultrathin SiO 2 nanosheets (2.6 nm thick) could prevent their agglomeration during catalytic reductions and expose the abundant active Ni sites to reactants, to provide high activity and stability. Ni-based magnetic catalysts exhibit moderate activity, low cost, and magnetic reusability in hydrogenation reactions. However, Ni nanoparticles anchored on magnetic supports commonly suffer from undesirable agglomeration during catalytic reactions due to the relatively weak affinity of the magnetic support for the Ni nanoparticles. A hierarchical yolk–shell Fe@SiO 2 /Ni catalyst, with an inner movable Fe core and an ultrathin SiO 2 /Ni shell composed of nanosheets, was synthesized in a self-templating reduction strategy with a hierarchical yolk–shell Fe 3 O 4 @nickel silicate nanocomposite as the precursor. The spatial confinement of highly dispersed Ni nanoparticles with a mean size of 4 nm within ultrathin SiO 2 nanosheets with a thickness of 2.6 nm not only prevented their agglomeration during catalytic transformations but also exposed the abundant active Ni sites to reactants. Moreover, the large inner cavities and interlayer spaces between the assembled ultrathin SiO 2 /Ni nanosheets provided suitable mesoporous channels for diffusion of the reactants towards the active sites. As expected, the Fe@SiO 2 /Ni catalyst displayed high activity, high stability, and magnetic recoverability for the reduction of nitroaromatic compounds. In particular, the Ni-based catalyst in the conversion of 4-nitroamine maintained a rate of over 98 % and preserved the initial yolk–shell structure without any obvious aggregation of Ni nanoparticles after ten catalytic cycles, which confirmed the high structural stability of the Ni-based catalyst.

Using diatoms, a typical microbial system of biomineralization, as a template, La 2 O 3 and Y 2 O 3 are synthesized in situ via biological self-assembly during the cultivation of diatoms in La 3+ /Y 3+ -containing media without any supplements, reducing agents or triggering agents. Then, diatom frustules modified with La and Y nanoparticles (NPs) are prepared via high-temperature reduction and crystallization. Furthermore, it has been used as an anode material for lithium-ion batteries and has excellent electrochemical properties. The DFT calculations reveal that the doping of La and Y changes the energy band structure near the Fermi level of SiO 2 and increases the current carrying density. The diatom frustule SiO 2 anodes loaded with La and Y nanoparticles (DBS@C-La-10 and DBS@C-Y-10) have specific discharge capacities of approximately 1021.3 and 980.7 mAh g −1 , respectively, after 220 cycles. This is the first study in which the mineralization behavior of rare earth elements on diatom frustules is reported and applied to anodes in lithium-ion batteries. This work provides a new option for applying rare earth elements in the field of energy storage.
