A series of RGO/La-ZnIn 2 S 4 photocatalysts were successfully synthesized using the hydrothermal method with different amount of RGO (0 wt%, 0.1 wt%, 0.5 wt%, 1.0 wt%, 2.0 wt%, 5.0 wt%) and La (0 wt%, 0.1 wt%, 0.5 wt%, 1.0 wt%, 2.0 wt%, 5.0 wt%) and characterized by various analysis techniques, such as XRD , Raman, SEM, UV–Vis, TEM, BET and PL. The photocatalytic H 2 evolution activities have also been evaluated under visible-light irradiation. The H 2 production activity of RGO/La-ZnIn 2 S 4 was influenced by both La and RGO significantly. The activity reached the best when the amounts of La and RGO were both 1.0 wt%. The hydrogen production rate of 1.0Pt/1.0RGO/1.0La-ZnIn 2 S 4 was 2255 μmol g −1 h −1 and the apparent quantum yield and the energy conversion efficiency were 29.45% and 18.79% at 420 nm respectively. The activity was related to the BET surface area, the pore microstructure and the synergistic effect of RGO and La. On the basis of the characterization of the catalysts, the synergistic effect of RGO and La on the photocatalytic activity of RGO/La-ZnIn 2 S 4 was discussed in detail.

In this study, nano-sized La-doped YIG (Y 3-x La x Fe 5 O 12 , x = 0.00, 0.03, 0.05, 0.08, 0.10, and 0.15) were prepared using a reverse co-precipitation method, which were then combined with FeSiCr powder to create a novel FeSiCr/Y 3-x La x Fe 5 O 12 soft magnetic composite (SMC). X-ray Diffraction (XRD) analysis confirmed the successful incorporation of La into the YIG lattice. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDS) scans demonstrated that a uniform insulating layer of La-doped YIG was effectively coated on the FeSiCr particles. The results revealed that the Y 2.92 La 0.08 Fe 5 O 12 powders showed the highest M s of 22.334 emu/g. Furthermore, the FeSiCr/Y 3-x La x Fe 5 O 12 SMCs exhibited notable improvements both in permeability and core loss with a La doping concentration of x = 0.08 ( P cv = 122.35 mW/cm 3 , μ e = 51.034 at 10 mT and 500 kHz), accompanied by an enhancement of DC bias characteristics. This work optimized the magnetic properties of YIG with La doping and constructed a novel FeSiCr/La-doped YIG SMCs with enhanced high-frequency performance.

To balance the utilization of rare-earth resources and reduce the preparation cost, the La and Ce substituted Nd 2 Fe 14 C hard magnetic alloys were prepared by a facile mechanochemical method for the first time. A two-step process is typically employed: 1) Decomposition of hydrocarbon and disproportionation of (Nd 1-x RE x ) 2.5 Fe 14 B 0.08 (RE=La or Ce, x=0–0.3) alloys during high-energy ball milling, Nd+Nd 2 Fe 17 +n-hexane→NdH 2+δ +α-Fe+Fe 7 C 3 ; 2) (Nd, RE) 2 Fe 14 C hard magnetic powders were obtained via the vacuum annealing at 800 °C for 2 min. The phase relation, magnetic properties and microstructural evolution of (Nd, RE) 2 Fe 14 B 0.08 C 0.92 (named Nd-RE-Fe-C-based) alloys were systematically investigated. Substitution of La for x=0.1 Nd in the Nd-RE-Fe-C-based alloy increase the coercivity from 15.6 kOe to 18.6 kOe without reducing the remanence. First-principles calculation was performed to study the mechanism of magnetic properties La and Ce substituted samples. The results showed that La tends to be expelled from 2:14:1 phase to form more minor phases which act as the domain wall pinning center, increasing the coercivity. However, Ce prefers to enter the 2:14:1 phase, diminishing the permanent magnetic properties due to the poor intrinsic magnetic properties. This paper provides a novel viewpoint for the effective utilization of high abundant rare earth and the investigation of low cost Nd 2 Fe 14 C permanent magnet materials.

Lead-free dielectric capacitors have become a topic of great interest in response to the ever-increasing demand for high-performance and environmentally friend energy devices. As SrTiO 3 (STO) is paraelectrics, the extremely low spontaneous polarization limits the development of its energy storage applications. In this paper, the microstructure and ferroelectric properties of STO are adjusted by grain engineering to expand its application in energy storage. STO, SrTi 1-x Mn x O 3 (STM x , x = 0.01 and 0.04) and Sr 1-y La y TiMn 0.01 O 3 (SL y TM 0.01 , y = 0.01, 0.02, 0.03 and 0.04) thin films are synthesized by the sol-gel method and thoroughly investigated on the effects of A-site (La) and B-site (Mn) co-doping effects on the crystalline phase, morphology, dielectric, ferroelectric and energy storage characteristics of STO thin film. The results indicate that the SL 0.01 TM 0.01 thin film exhibits a breakdown electric field of 3666.2 kV/cm. The SL 0.02 M 0.01 thin film exhibits excellent frequency stability and low dielectric loss (<0.01) with an energy storage density of 29.5 J/cm 3 and an efficiency of 83.7 % at 2600 kV/cm. Moreover, the sample shows good frequency stability (400–2800 Hz) and thermal stability (20−140 °C). These findings indicate the potential of (Mn, La) co-doped SrTiO 3 thin film for dielectric capacitor energy storage field applications.

Photocatalytic-Fenton synergistic degradation of pollutants in wastewater is considered a promising technology for environmental treatment. Herein, FeOOH quantum dots decorated La-doped Bi 4 O 5 I 2 hybrids were prepared using an in-situ deposition strategy and applied for the removal of 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine. The FeOOH-1/La 10 -Bi 4 O 5 I 2 sample exhibits the highest catalytic activity in degradation experiments, eliminating 93.8 % of 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine within 30 min at a reaction rate constant of 0.117 min −1 . In addition, the impacts of several operational parameters on the catalytic activity were comprehensively examined, including H 2 O 2 concentration, catalyst dosage, reaction solution pH and co-existing ions. In degradation process of 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine, the major reactive oxygen species are ·OH and ·O 2 – , with ·OH generated by Fenton reaction. Optical property characterization, cyclic voltammetry tests, and photoelectrochemical measurements confirmed that the FeOOH-1/La 10 -Bi 4 O 5 I 2 composite has excellent light absorption capacity, abundant active centers, and excellent carrier separation efficiency. Finally, the degradation mechanism of FeOOH-1/La 10 -Bi 4 O 5 I 2 composites for 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine is rationally discussed based on experimental and theoretical calculations. This study presents a fresh design idea for developing bismuth oxyhalide-based composites with high activity.

Multifunctional targeted drug delivery systems have been explored as a novel cancer treatment strategy to overcome limitations of traditional chemotherapy. The combination of photodynamic therapy and chemotherapy has been shown to enhance efficacy, but the phototoxicity of traditional photosensitizers is a challenge. In this study, we prepared a multi-sensitive composite hydrogel containing gold nanoclusters (Au NCs) and the temperature-sensitive antitumor drug 5-fluorourac il (5-FU) using carboxymethyl cellulose (Carr) as a dual-functional template. Au NCs were synthesized using sodium borohydride as a reducing agent and potassium as a promoter. The resulting Au NCs were embedded in the Carr hydrogel, which was then conjugated with lactobionic acid (LA) as a targeting ligand. The resulting Au NCs/5-FU@Carr-LA composite hydrogel was used for synergistic photodynamic therapy (PDT), photothermal therapy (PTT), and chemotherapy. Au NCs/5-FU@Carr-LA releases the drug faster at pH 5.0 due to the acid sensitivity of the Carr polymer chain. In addition, at 50 °C, the release rate of Au NCs/5-FU@Carr-LA is 78.2%, indicating that the higher temperature generated by the photothermal effect is conducive to the degradation of Carr polymer chains. The Carr hydrogel stabilized the Au NCs and acted as a matrix for drug loading, and the LA ligand facilitated targeted delivery to tumor cells. The composite hydrogel exhibited excellent biocompatibility and synergistic antitumor efficacy, as demonstrated by in vitro and in vivo experiments. In addition, the hydrogel had thermal imaging capabilities, making it a promising multifunctional platform for targeted cancer therapy.

In the evolution of proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolysis, the development of durable electrocatalysts for the acidic oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is crucial. This work introduces an electrocatalyst with a core–shell architecture, consisting of amorphous iridium oxide (IrO x ) supported on lanthanum (La) and niobium (Nb) co-doped titanium dioxide (denoted as La, Nb-TiO 2 @IrO x ). The resultant La, Nb-TiO 2 @IrO x , synthesized via a hydrothermal method, exhibits enhanced OER activity and remarkable durability in acidic media. The theoretical calculations provide insight into the enhanced performance of La, Nb-TiO 2 @IrO x , revealing a narrowed bandgap and improved conductivity due to co-doping. Additionally, there is an increase in charge transfer and binding energy at the heterointerface. As a result, electrochemical evaluations show a significant reduction in overpotential and enhancement in long-term stability, achieving an overpotential of 234 mV at 10 mA cm −2 and maintaining impressive stability for 150 h. These findings underscore the potential of La, Nb-TiO 2 as a robust platform for acidic OER electrocatalysts, offering valuable insights into the design of durable and efficient systems for energy conversion applications and advancing the development of next-generation technologies.

The impressive water stability demonstrated by MIL-101(Cr) highlights its considerable potential for the effective elimination of organic contaminants from wastewater. Nevertheless, the limited availability of adsorption sites within MOFs leads to an unsatisfactory capacity for tetracycline (TC) adsorption. In this case, the lanthanum modified MIL-101(Cr) porous adsorbents, termed as nLa-MIL-101(Cr), were successfully synthesized using a post-synthetic modification method. Through various characterization analyses, it was confirmed that lanthanum exists in the form of La(OH) 3 within the adsorbents, and all adsorbents also preserved the original structure as MIL-101(Cr). The results of static adsorption experiments demonstrated that, compared to the original material, the adsorption capacity of 1La-MIL-101(Cr) for TC increased by 3.5 times. Further experiments demonstrated that the adsorbent exhibits remarkable ion interference resistance and cycle stability. Finally, based on X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, the adsorption mechanism was primarily attributed to the coordination between TC molecules and metals active site, while electrostatic interactions also played a significant role in the process. This study has developed a highly efficient adsorbent for the treatment of TC-contaminated wastewater, which reflects promising practical application prospects.

Background Glycoproteins are critical in various biological processes and attract lots of attention of researchers. It still remains a challenge to detect glycopeptides by mass spectrometry because of their low abundance with heterogeneity and lability, as well as signal suppression by non-glycopeptides. The boronate affinity-based enrichment is an effective solution for detecting cis -diols-containing compounds including glycopeptides in complex matrices. However, there has not been any report about absolute quantitation of boron in the absorbent materials for glycopeptides, which obstructed the tailored design of boronate affinity materials and deeper understanding of interaction mechanisms. Results This work presents the development of a boronic acid-functionalized magnetic zirconium metal-organic framework (mMOF–AAPBA) with actual boron content for specific capture of glycopeptides. The synthesized nanocomposite could enrich glycopeptides by magnetic solid-phase extraction (MSPE) via the synergistic effect of hydrophilic interaction and boronate affinity. After full characterization including quantitative analysis of boron by laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS), mMOF–AAPBA was applied as MSPE absorbent to capture glycopeptides. Under the optimized conditions, it could enrich 28 glycopeptides both from horseradish peroxidase and immunoglobulin digests, with a limit of detection of 1 fmol μL −1 coupled with matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time of flight mass spectrometry. The boronate affinity absorbent also possessed great ability of anti-interference and good reusability. Furthermore, it possessed high performance in enriching glycopeptides in real samples including human saliva and traditional Chinese medicine injections. Significance In the preparation of the boron-containing nanocomposites, there is a special interest that an accurate protocol was established to assay boron based on LA-ICP-MS assisted by home-made matrix reference substances for the first time. These findings highlight the quantitative boron-containing mMOF–AAPBA as a robust affinity material for glycopeptide enrichment in real biological samples, offering potential applications in glycoproteomics and other cis -diols compound related researches.

Endogenous phosphorus (P) release is one of the key factors leading to eutrophication of water body. Phosphorus in sediments is difficult to be removed or recovered due to its chemical stability and complex morphology. Meanwhile, lanthanide metal organic framework (La-MOF) shows high efficiency in phosphate adsorption, but faces challenges in solid-liquid separation due to its powder form. In this study, the phosphorus solubilizing bacteria (PSB), Leclercia adecarboxylata L1–5, was used to transform some fractions of insoluble phosphorus in sediment into soluble phosphorus, and the La-MOF/Polypropylene (La-MOF/PP) fabric was innovatively prepared for phosphate adsorption. Solvothermal method was used for the preparation of La-MOF/PP fabric and the optimum synthesis time was 12 h. The best effect of phosphate removal was achieved when the La-MOF/PP fabric dosage was 1 g/L and the pH was 7. The regeneration efficiency of the material remained stable after five cycles of adsorption and desorption. Furthermore, the simulation results showed that PSB can release dissolved phosphate up to 5.40 mg P/L from sediment. After coupling with the La-MOF/PP fabric, the concentration of phosphate in the overlying water was significantly reduced to 0.38 mg P/L, which was much lower than that in the CK group (2.4 mg P/L). This study demonstrated that the coupled system of PSB and La-MOF/PP fabric could effectively reduce the sediment phosphate content, mitigate the negative impact of possible release of sediment phosphorus and degradation of the overlying water quality. It provided a promising technique for in-situ remediation of sediment phosphate.

Layered double hydroxide (LDH) is frequently used for phosphate removal in water, while a desirable LDH adsorbent should have sufficiently high adsorption capacity and selectivity. To enhance the removal performance and selectivity of phosphate by LDH, La-doped layered double hydroxide/biochar (La–MgAl–LDH/BC) was synthesized by using a co-precipitation method. Investigation results showed that lanthanum (La) metal loading can significantly enhance the phosphate adsorption performance of La–MgAl–LDH. Then, the introduction of La–MgAl–LDH into BC improved the adsorption capacity of phosphate by the adsorbent, which is 1.8 times that of pure La–MgAl–LDH. The optimum La to Al molar ratio was 0.2 : 0.8 in La–MgAl–LDH materials, and the La–MgAl–LDH to BC mass ratio was 9.3 : 10. Furthermore, both La–MgAl–LDH and La–MgAl–LDH/BC exhibited an enhanced ability to resist interference from co-existing anions (Cl−, SO42−, NO3− and CO32−) compared to LDH. For batch experiments, the kinetic results indicated that the adsorption process of phosphate by La–MgAl–LDH/BC follows a pseudo-second-order kinetics model, reaching equilibrium quickly within 1 h. Furthermore, film diffusion and intra-particle diffusion simultaneously took place. The maximum monolayer phosphate adsorption capacity of La–MgAl–LDH/BC could reach 249.3 mg PO43− g−1 (513.6 mg PO43− g−1, converting to an equivalent La–MgAl–LDH). After four cycles, La–MgAl–LDH/BC showed good reusability, and over 63.5% of phosphate uptake was retained with minimal metal leaching. Additionally, phosphate could be rapidly removed from actual water and simulated water at low concentrations. The electrostatic attraction, ligand exchange, ion exchange and Lewis acid action jointly facilitate the adsorption of phosphate.

Developing highly efficient photocatalysts for CO2reduction remains a great challenge. The large band gap and poor charge carrier dynamics are the major factors limiting the performance of Bi4Ti3O12(BTO). Herein, a series of La-doped Bi4Ti3O12(BLaxTO) nanosheets were synthesized and further modified by NaBH4hydrogenation to create surface defect-rich H-BLaXTO nanosheets. Characterizations and theoretical calculations confirmed that the synergistic effect of La doping and hydrogenation significantly enhanced visible-light absorption, promoted charge separation, and improved the electron reduction capacity. When applied to photocatalytic CO2reduction, the H-BLa0.2TO catalyst achieved a superior CH3OH production rate of 7.90 μmol·g−1·h−1, which is 5.6 times higher than that of pristine Bi4Ti3O12. Moreover, the H-BLa0.2TO catalyst maintained excellent stability over four consecutive cycles. This study offers an integrated strategy for constructing high-performance bismuth-based photocatalysts through elemental doping and defect engineering.
