According to the design concept of hollow metallic microlattices, the quality of the coating has a considerable influence on the performance of the material. To avoid the effect of by-products in the coatings, we have chosen the Al-induced electroless plating method to respond to the composition design of this material. In this paper, the coatings formation process of Al-induced electroless plating on the metallic surface is systematically investigated. The coatings created by Al-induced electroless plating were characterized by surface morphology, XRD patterns, and electrochemical potential. Subsequently, the deposition process of elements on the metallic substrate was simulated by molecular dynamics. Finally, the surface morphology changes of coatings were observed at different plating times to verify the simulation results. The results indicate that the four kinds of coatings are each composed of a single metal element (copper, cobalt, nickel, and iron) with no by-products. Based on the results of morphology changes of the coatings and the deposition simulation, the overall formation process of Al-induced electroless plating is described. The deposition of coatings has the characteristics of preferential growth and aggregate growth. The metal atoms that are generated from the reaction of the reducing electrons with the target metallic ions in the solutions are deposited on the substrate surface as the primary cores. The reducing electrons are provided by the dissolution of Al foil. With the increase in the number of generated metal atoms, multiple atomic clusters form in the areas of the primary cores. These clusters develop at various scales on the substrate surface, forming irregular particles. Eventually, coatings are formed completely with uniform particle sizes.

Enriching Al atoms in T2 and T4 sites of FER zeolite is decisive for achieving high catalytic activity in the carbonylation reaction of dimethyl ether (DME). Regulating the spatial position of Al atoms in targeted framework sites remains to be a great challenge during the synthesis of FER zeolite. The FER nanosheets with preferential Al-sitting in T2 and T4 sites were successfully synthesized with the assistance of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB). The effect of CTAB on the morphology and Al distribution has been investigated in detail. CTAB mostly adsorbed on external surface serving as growth inhibitors, which resulted in nanosheet morphology and changed the length ratio along the b -axis to c -axis of the crystals. A minor portion of CTAB located in the channels may favor the spatial Al location in T2 and T4 sites, indicated by the results from 27 Al MAS NMR spectra. The FER nanosheets exhibited improved DME conversion, stability, space–time yield (STY), and lifetime compared to conventional FER in DME carbonylation reaction.

Layered double hydroxides (LDHs) were innovatively employed in this study as catalyst for synthesis gas conversion to chemicals, such as oxygenates. Cobalt-aluminium layered double hydroxides (Co-Al LDHs) was prepared at different temperatures. and lactate was successfully intercalated into the LDHs by ion-exchange method and then the material was further delaminated in water at ambient temperature. The samples were characterized by SEM, TEM and AFM, and separately dispersed nanosheets can be clearly observed. The prepared lamellas were applied in aqueous-phase synthesis gas conversion reaction. The catalysts generated a superior activity of 0.055–0.675 mol CO · mol Co - 1 · h - 1 and greater oxygenated product (acetaldehyde) selectivity (S Oxy = 75–88%) than conventional cobalt Fisher-Tropsch (FT) synthesis catalysts. Ammonium ion showed some effect of the selectivity of the acetaldehyde. The original research results suggested a promising application of the mono-dispersed ultrathin cobalt-bearing LDHs nanosheets in the aqueous phase syngas conversion to valuable oxygenate products.

A series of KF-modified Ca–Al hydrotalcite (xKF/HTL-M) solid base catalysts was prepared in methanol, and characterized by thermogravimetry analysis (TG-DTA), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and carbon dioxide temperature-programmed desorption (CO2-TPD). The catalytic activity was investigated in the transesterification of ethylene glycol monomethyl ether (EGME) with methyl laurate (ML) to produce a novel biodiesel of ethylene glycol monomethyl ether monolaurate (EGMEML). The effect of the mass content of KF and the main reaction parameters such as EGME to ML molar ratio, amount of catalyst, reaction time and temperature on the yield of EGMEML were examined. The results indicate that a new phase of KCaF3 formed in xKF/HTL-M, and acted as the main active sites for the transesterification. In addition, xKF/HTL-M has excellent catalytic performance in the production of EGMEML. The highest yield of 97.7% was obtained over 24.7KF/HTL-M at EGME/ML molar ratio of 3.0, catalyst amount of 5 wt%, and reaction time of 4 h at 120 °C. Moreover, the catalyst displays a good stability and reutilization. A satisfactory yield of 90% was obtained after use for five consecutive cycles without significant deactivation. Finally, the activation energy (Ea) of the reaction of EGME with ML over 24.7KF/HTL-M was obtained as 27.11 kJ mol−1.

Aiming at the problem that the ignition ability of semiconductor bridge (SCB) is limited by the quality of bridge area, an energetic semiconductor bridge (ESCB) was prepared by 3D direct writing printing method. Using Al/CuO as the main component of the energetic ink and nitrocellulost (NC) as the binder, an energetic ignition bridge was successfully prepared by combining the energetic ink on the SCB surface. The electric detonation and ignition experiments of SCB and ESCB were carried out by means of capacitive discharge, and the gap ignition experiments proved that the ignition ability of SCB was successfully enhanced by energetic ink. In the electrical explosion experiment, under the excitation of 30 V capacitor discharge, the melting and vaporization time of ESCB bridge zone is longer than that of SCB, because the energetic film absorbs the heat generated by the bridge zone. Due to the bonding effect of NC, Al and CuO are more closely combined and the reaction is more complete, and the heat release of energetic ink is 1232 J/g. At 30 V/100 µF, the ESCB can ignite the B/KNO 3 charge at an 10 mm gap when the ink charge is 3 mg. The results demonstrate the strong ignition ability of ESCB, which has a good application prospect in the use of ignition and fire transmission sequences.

The objective of this work is to explore the electrochemical and electrodeposition behaviors of Eu (III) cation at the liquid binary Al-Ga alloy cathode. In addition, the co-reduction behaviors of Eu (III), Al (III) and Ga (III) were also systematically studied on a W electrode. The results indicated that Eu (III) can be reduced on the binary Al-Ga alloy cathode, and Eu (III), Al (III) and Ga (III) also can be co-reduced on the W electrode to form Al-Eu/Ga-Eu intermetallic compounds. At the same time, the isothermal section phase diagram of the Al-Ga-Eu ternary system at 773 K was also calculated. In addition, Al-Eu and Ga-Eu alloys were prepared by potentiostatic and galvanostatic electrolyses in the LiCl-KCl-EuCl3 melt. Finally, the electrodeposition products were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) coupled with Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS).

In this study, Ta–W–Ti–Al multialloys were prepared by spark plasma sintering (SPS) as a new powder metallurgy technology based on discharge activation and thermoplastic deformation process. The oxidation behavior of the as-obtained sintered alloys were investigated under 1000 and 1200°C in air atmosphere. Microstructures and phase compositions of alloys and oxides were analyzed using various analytical methods, such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) equipped with energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), and backscatter electron microscopy (BSE). The sintered samples possessed relative densities reaching up to 98% with achievable densification. The densities of all specimens with high Ti contents exceeded 100%, suggesting the great impact of Ti addition on liquid-phase precipitation. Intermetallic compounds were formed in Ta–W–Al alloys, and samples with high Ti contents displayed grain boundary phases rich in titanium and oxygen. The addition of Ti and Al effectively improved the oxidation resistance of the resulting alloys. A protective alumina layer was formed after oxidation at 1000°C that made oxidation kinetics of the alloys obeying pseudo-parabolic laws. At the oxidation temperature of 1200°C, Al 2 O 3 reacted with Ta 2 O 5 to form the AlTaO 4 alloy with reduced protective effect. The mass gain in the alloys after oxidation at 1200°C for 4 h was about 7 times higher compared to processing at 1000°C.

The combination of chemodynamic therapy (CDT) with photothermal therapy (PTT) is an efficacious strategy in cancer treatment to acquire satisfactory therapy efficiency in the endogenous redox reaction and external laser induction. In this work, we have designed Ce doped Cu–Al layered double hydroxide (CAC-LDH) ultrathin them through a bottom-up synthesis method, and further loaded them with indocyanine green (ICG). The synthesized ICG/CAC-LDH was used as a Fenton-catalyst and photothermal agent. With the Fenton activity, the ICG/CAC-LDH nanosheets could decompose H2O2 and exhibit a low KM value (1.57 mM) and an ultra-high Vmax (4.88 × 10−6 M s−1) value. Due to the presence of oxidized metal ions, ICG/CAC-LDH could induce intracellular GSH depletion and reduce Cu2+ and Ce4+ to Cu+ and Ce3+, respectively. The generated Cu+ and Ce3+ further reacted with local H2O2 to generate toxic hydroxyl radicals (˙OH) via the Fenton reaction. Owing to the obviously enhanced absorption of ICG/CAC-LDH at 808 nm, the photothermal efficiency of ICG/CAC-LDH increased significantly compared with ICG (ΔT = 34.7 °C vs. 28.3 °C). In vitro studies substantiate the remarkable CDT/PTT efficacy, with complete apoptosis of HepG2 cancer cells (the cell viability is less than 2%) treated with 25 μg mL−1 of ICG/CAC-LDH. Furthermore, ICG/CAC-LDH could also act as a contrast agent for cancer magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and photoacoustic imaging (PAI). These results demonstrate the potential of ICG/CAC-LDH as an integrated agent for dual-modal imaging and synergistic CDT/PTT.

Despite the bright future of aluminum-sulfur (Al–S) batteries due to the ultrahigh energy-to-price ratios, the development of this new energy storage system is plagued by the shutting of polysulfides and sluggish kinetics during redox conversions. Herein, ferrocene as efficient polysulfide mediators and electrocatalysts is covalently grafted onto glass fiber (GF) membranes, which serves as separators in Al–S batteries. Attributed to the strong chemisorption and catalytic effect of metallocene toward polysulfide conversions, Al–S cells assembled with the grafted separators deliver an ultrahigh initial capacity of 1347.9 mAh g −1 (at 200 mA g −1 ) and desirable rate performance (328.1 mAh g −1 at 500 mA g −1 ). As validated by theoretical calculations, effective polysulfide binding is achieved through beneficial cation-π interactions between Al 3+ in polysulfides and the negatively charged cyclopentadienyl ligands in ferrocene, providing novel insights into the exploration of metal-sulfur chemistries for stable energy storage.

Aluminum ion-exchanged Ca-montmorillonite with different concentrations of aluminum ion were prepared and applied in the conversion of carbohydrates to 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF). It was found that two types of acid sites were present in the catalyst, Lewis acid sites for isomerization of glucose and Brønsted acid sites for dehydration of fructose. With Al-mont-10 as catalyst, the yield of HMF converted from glucose was 80.4% in a biphase system (THF: NaCl solution) at 180 °C for 2.5 h. Further, the catalyst also shows excellent catalytic performance in the conversion of starch and inulin, and the yield of HMF reached 60.1% and 81.6% under identical conditions, respectively.

Graphene (Gr) has attracted much attention due to its excellent performance. There are various studies about Gr composite materials; however, the influence of Gr on anticorrosion mechanism was not explored widely. In this paper, the Gr was prepared by oxidation-reduction method and was modified with 3-aminopropyl triethoxysilane for better dispersion. Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR) and Scanning Electron Micrograph (SEM) were utilized to characterize the microstructure of coating and the modification of Gr. X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) was employed to analyse the phase composition of the coating. The anticorrosion performance of coating was investigated by employing polarization curves and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The results showed that the uniformly dispersed Gr nanosheets in Zn-Al-Gr/waterborne epoxy enhanced the protection property of the composite coating. Furthermore, the corrosion resistance properties of the composite coating were optimized by tuning the concentration of the added Gr.

Although manganese dioxide (MnO 2 ) is of great promise as the cathode material for aqueous Zn-ion batteries (ZIBs), its capacity decreases sharply during cycles due to the irreversible phase transition and Mn dissolution, consequently hindering the large-scale practical application. Herein, for the first time, a novel Al-intercalation engineering of MnO 2 cathode has been proposed for aqueous ZIBs, in which the structural regulation and Zn 2+ storage performance of Al-intercalated MnO 2 (denoted as AMO) cathode are deeply investigated. Electrochemical testing results indicate significant improvement in specific capacity (401.7 mAh g −1 ) and cycling retention (~94.5% over 2000 cycles) of the AMO cathode, which is owing to the effective Al-intercalation that result in the formation of strong Al-O bonds in tunnel-type MnO 2 framework. This reasonable configuration not only optimizes charge/ion state and electronic bandgap, but also ensures reversible phase transition and alleviates the Mn dissolution of AMO cathode, which are further demonstrated by the density functional theory (DFT) calculations and in-situ Raman investigation upon charging-discharging. As a proof of concept, coin-type and flexible aqueous ZIBs based on such AMO cathode are effectively fabricated, and they both achieve excellent electrochemical behaviors, revealing the great potential applications in energy technologies and portable/wearable electronics.
