Nanoscale zero-valent iron (nZVI) coated by Mg-aminoclay (MgAC) was prepared by the liquid-phase reduction method for high-efficiency removal of Cr(VI). The particles (MgAC-nZVI) were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), fourier transform infrared (FTIR), transmission electron microscope (TEM), zeta potential analysis and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). It was found that the positively charged MgAC was capable of inhibiting the aggregation of nZVI particles and improving their dispersion stability in aqueous solution. Batch experiments showed that an iron dose of 0.125 g·L −1 in the form of MgAC-nZVI, at an initial Cr(VI) concentration of 20 mg·L −1 could maintain a good performance on Cr(VI) removal at a wide pH range. It was proved that the presence of co-existing ions (Cu 2+ , Ni 2+ and SO 4 2− ) except PO 4 3− in the solution had positive influence on the removal of Cr(VI). Due to the large accessible surface area and the protonated amino groups (-NH 3 + ) on the particle surface, MgAC-nZVI could remove Cr(VI) through fast adsorption and efficient reduction. The removal of Cr(VI) by using MgAC-nZVI was proved to be in accordance with the pseudo-second-order adsorption kinetics . Based on the identification of the reduction products, Cr(VI) was reduced by Fe 0 to form Cr(III). Eventually, the Cr(VI) was removed in a way of Cr(III)-Fe(III) co-precipitates adsorbed on the surface of MgAC-nZVI particles. Moreover, the MgAC-nZVI particles have a better performance of reusability than the uncoated nZVI .

In this study, high-temperature solid-phase techniques are used to prepare pristine and Mg-modified LiNiO 2 cathode materials. Various characterizations are performed to analyze the morphology, structure, and electrical state of the two materials. Electrochemical tests show that Mg doping effectively improves the electrochemical properties of the materials. In particular, the modified sample exhibits a higher specific discharge capacity of 244.5 mA h g −1 than the pristine sample. Moreover, its maximum capacity retention after 304 cycles at 1 C is 54.1%. In situ X-ray powder diffraction imaging reveals that the modified material has better phase-transition reversibility than the pristine material. Density functional theory calculations indicate that Mg-doped Li sites can accelerate Li + transport. Atomic force microscopy results demonstrate that Mg-doped Li sites act as supportive skeletons that enhance the mechanical properties of the material. Therefore, the proposed strategy for the Mg doping of Li sites can improve the architecture of LiNiO 2 cathode materials.

Magnesium ions are highly enriched in early stage of biological mineralization of hard tissues. Paradoxically, hydroxyapatite (HAp) crystallization is inhibited significantly by high concentration of magnesium ions. The mechanism to regulate magnesium-doped biomimetic mineralization of collagen fibrils has never been fully elucidated. Herein, it is revealed that citrate can bioinspire the magnesium-stabilized mineral precursors to generate magnesium-doped biomimetic mineralization as follows: Citrate can enhance the electronegativity of collagen fibrils by its absorption to fibrils via hydrogen bonds. Afterward, electronegative collagen fibrils can attract highly concentrated electropositive polyaspartic acid-Ca&Mg (PAsp-Ca&Mg) complexes followed by phosphate solution via strong electrostatic attraction. Meanwhile, citrate adsorbed in/on fibrils can eliminate mineralization inhibitory effects of magnesium ions by breaking hydration layer surrounding magnesium ions and thus reduce dehydration energy barrier for rapid fulfillment of biomimetic mineralization. The remineralized demineralized dentin with magnesium-doped HAp possesses antibacterial ability, and the mineralization mediums possess excellent biocompatibility via cytotoxicity and oral mucosa irritation tests. This strategy shall shed light on cationic ions-doped biomimetic mineralization with antibacterial ability via modifying collagen fibrils and eliminating mineralization inhibitory effects of some cationic ions, as well as can excite attention to the neglected multiple regulations of small biomolecules, such as citrate, during biomineralization process.

In China, 80 % of lithium resources are in the salt lakes of the Tibetan Plateau, although the Mg 2+ /Li + ratios in them are too high, limiting the development of China’s lithium extraction industry from the salt lakes. This study investigates the potential of the LiMn 2 O 4 -Zn cell system for lithium extraction from brines with high Mg 2+ /Li + ratios. The system demonstrates excellent selectivity for Li + and efficiently extracts Li + even in brines with Mg 2+ /Li + ratios as high as 100:1 (wt%). The system operates stably at various brine concentrations, particularly in high-salinity environments. The study also investigates the kinetic performance of the LMO-Zn system, revealing optimal performance at high Li + concentrations and moderate current densities. The LiMn 2 O 4 -Zn cell system presents a promising approach for lithium extraction from brines, offering high selectivity, reversibility, and adaptability.

Non-healing diabetic wounds, which often culminate in amputation and mortality. The main pathophysiological features in diabetic wounds involve the accumulation of M1-type macrophages and excessive oxidative stress. In this study, we engineered a nano-enzyme functionalized hydrogel by incorporating magnesium ion-doped molybdenum-based polymetallic oxides (Mg-POM), a novel bioactive nano-enzyme, into GelMA hydrogel, to obtain the GelMA@Mg-POM system to enhance diabetic wound healing. GelMA@Mg-POM was crosslinked using UV light, yielding a hydrogel with a uniformly porous three-dimensional mesh structure. In vitro experiments showed that GelMA@Mg-POM extraction significantly enhanced human umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVECs) migration, scavenged ROS, improved the inflammatory microenvironment, induced macrophage reprogramming towards M2, and promoted HUVECs regeneration of CD31 and fibroblast regeneration of type I collagen. In vivo experiments, diabetic rat wounds treated with GelMA@Mg-POM displayed enhanced granulation tissue genesis and collagen production, as evidenced by HE and Masson staining. Immunohistochemistry demonstrated the ability of GelMA@Mg-POM to mitigate macrophage-associated inflammatory responses and promote angiogenesis. Overall, these findings suggest that GelMA@Mg-POM holds significant promise as a biomaterial for treating diabetic wounds.

Increasing the operating voltage can significantly increase the energy density of LiCoO 2 , but it is accompanied by severe structural damage and interface degradation. Especially at a high voltage above 4.5 V, LiCoO 2 faces severe challenges, such as irreversible phase transition, lattice oxygen loss, and electrode–electrolyte interface evolution. Herein, a high-voltage LiCoO 2 cathode material with bulk doping and surface coating synergistic modification was designed and prepared. The doped Mg 2+ ions entered the lithium layers as pillars, stabilizing the layered framework. Meanwhile, Li 1.3 La 0.3 Ti 1.7 (PO 4 ) 3 was uniformly coated on the surface of LiCoO 2 , which is beneficial for suppressing Co 3+/2+ ion leaching and interface side reactions during cycling. Furthermore, Li 1.3 La 0.3 Ti 1.7 (PO 4 ) 3 is a fast ion conductor, which facilitates the rapid transport of lithium ions on the surface of the cathode material. Owing to the synergistic effect of Mg 2+ ion doping and Li 1.3 La 0.3 Ti 1.7 (PO 4 ) 3 coating, the orbitals of Co 3d and O 2p in LiCoO 2 crystal are changed, and the irreversible phase transition and oxygen loss are inhibited. The modified material exhibited an excellent electrochemical performance. A discharge capacity of 175.5 mAh·g −1 at 10 C rate, as well as a capacity retention of 90.14% after 200 cycles at 1 C rate, was achieved in the modified material. This work supplies a new method for developing high-voltage oxide cathodes through bulk and interfacial modification.

Rechargeable magnesium batteries (RMBs) are one of the most promising “post-lithium” battery technologies, but the electrochemical performance is still far from expectation due to the sluggish reaction kinetics of divalent Mg2+ ions. Herein, we report a low-cost, high-performance Mg–organic battery based on the combination of a fluorinated alkoxyaluminate electrolyte and a carbonyl polymer cathode material. First, the one-pot synthesized Mg[Al(HFIP)4]2 (HFIP = hexafluoro-2-propanol) is proved superior to the Mg[B(HFIP)4]2 analogue in both Mg anode compatibility and electrochemical window, as the electrolyte salt in the G2–DME (G2 = diethylene glycol dimethyl ether; DME = 1,2-dimethoxyethane) mixture solvent. Second, a simple wet grinding method is proposed to effectively improve the dispersion uniformity of the poly(benzoquinone-pyrrole) (PBQPy) active material in the cathode. Third, the elaborate Mg–PBQPy battery exhibits superior electrochemical performance within 0.4–3.0 V, including a high reversible capacity of 197 mA h g–1, a high average discharge voltage of 1.6 V, and a high capacity retention of 71% after 500 cycles. Finally, based on various electrochemical analysis and ex situ characterization results, we propose a general microscopic structure evolution model to reveal the electrochemical behaviors of carbonyl polymer cathode in RMBs, including the swelling of polymer active material, trapping of Mg2+ ions, and reversible redox reaction.

Titanium nitride (TiN) has been attracting increasing interest as an anode material for electrochemical energy storage and conversion systems due to its superior thermal stability, electrical conductivity and chemical durability. The most commonly used strategy to synthesize TiN nanostructures is nitriding TiO 2 nanostructures using ammonia gas as the nitrogen source, and thus is not environmental friendly. Herein, we report an ammonia-free strategy to synthesize TiN nanomaterials using TiO 2 precursors via a magnesium-assisted nitriding reaction using nitrogen gas (N 2 ) as the nitrogen source. Systematical studies were conducted to reveal the mechanism of magnesium-assisted nitriding process in constructing TiN nanostructures under N 2 atmosphere. The as-synthesized TiN NRs were directly used as the anodes for lithium ion batteries and delivered an excellent reversible capacity of 710 mAh g −1 at the current density of 100 mA g −1 after 200 cycles. In addition, the TiN NRs also exhibited excellent cycling stability and rate capability. Our work provides a low cost, environmental friendly and reliable strategy to synthesize TiN materials from TiO 2 by using N 2 as the nitrogen source, which may facilitate the practical applications of TiN materials in electrochemical/photo-electrochemical energy storage and conversion systems.

Two garnet-structured ceramics, Ca 3 B 2 GeV 2 O 12 (B = Mg, Mn), were synthesized using a traditional solid-state reaction method, and their sintering behavior, structures, vibrational spectra, and magnetic and microwave dielectric properties were characterized. Low permittivity ( ε r ) of 9.75 (Ca 3 Mg 2 GeV 2 O 12 ) and 11.06 (Ca 3 Mn 2 GeV 2 O 12 ), quality factor ( Q × f ) of 54,000 GHz (Ca 3 Mg 2 GeV 2 O 12 ) and 30,240 GHz (Ca 3 Mn 2 GeV 2 O 12 ), and temperature coefficient of resonant frequency ( τ f ) of −61.2 ppm/ ° C (Ca 3 Mg 2 GeV 2 O 12 ) and −66.4 ppm/ ° C (Ca 3 Mn 2 GeV 2 O 12 ) were obtained. The ε r value was correlated with the sum of the ionic polarization per unit volume. The Q × f value was associated with the part with a fully filled 3 d orbit, un-paired d electrons of B-site ion, and magnetic loss. The τ f was correlated to the bond valance at the A- and C-sites. Moreover, the fitting analysis of the far-infrared reflectance spectra of Ca 3 Mg 2 GeV 2 O 12 revealed that the active vibration modes in the low wave number range (100 - 400 cm -1 ) contributed mainly to the intrinsic microwave dielectric polarization.

Phosphate removal is complicated by the need for resource recovery. Biochar shows promise for efficient phosphate adsorption, but it must be modified to enhance its adsorption capacity. In this work, magnesium (Mg)-loaded biochar was synthesized through a two-step dipping and calcination process, and the MgBC600 product was used to adsorb phosphate from simulated water and biogas slurry wastewater. The phosphate adsorption capacity of Mg-loaded biochar was 109.35 mg/g, which was 12 times higher than that of unmodified biochar. The R 2 of the Langmuir and pseudo-second-order kinetic models were 0.988 and 0.990, respectively, which fitted the phosphate adsorption process of MgBC600. Phosphate adsorption by MgBC600 was a spontaneous and endothermic process. The adsorption mechanism study showed that phosphate adsorption was controlled by the formation and electrostatic attraction of MgHPO 4 . In addition, 98% of chemically adsorbed phosphate was released after regeneration. Using phosphate-adsorbed MgBC600 as a soil amendment, Arabidopsis thaliana was 1.47 times higher than that in the biochar-only group, demonstrating that this is a promising strategy for enhancing phosphate adsorption efficiency and adsorbent recycling.

A 2 B 7 -type La–Mg–Ni-based alloys are considered as promising hydrogen storage materials . However, low absorption/desorption platform pressure and poor cycling stability restricts their practical application. The neodymium element could improve the hydrogen absorption/desorption platform pressure and the cycling stability with its smaller atomic radius and larger electronegativity . In this study the Nd 1– x Mg x Ni 3.50 ( x = 0.25, 0.30, 0.36) alloys were prepared and Mg variation was adopted to tailor the microstructure and hydrogen storage performances. All the alloys consist of Gd 2 Co 7 -type and Ce 2 Ni 7 -type superlattice structure , and the cell parameters ( a , c and V ) are reduced by increasing Mg content. The higher Mg content yields a higher plateau pressure, a higher cycling stability and an easier hydrogen release. The x = 0.30 alloy shows a plateau pressure of 0.81 MPa, a 100th-cycle capacity retention rate of 91.0 %, and a dehydriding enthalpy change of 19.18 kJ mol −1 . These good comprehensive hydrogen storage performances are attributed to the promoted crystallographic stability and reduced cell parameters.

The biodegradability and good mechanical property of magnesium alloys make them potential biomedical materials . However, their rapid corrosion rate in the human body’s environment impairs these advantages and limits their clinical use. In this work, a compact zirconia (ZrO 2 ) nanofilm was fabricated on the surface of a magnesium-strontium (Mg-Sr) alloy by the atomic layer deposition (ALD) method, which can regulate the thickness of the film precisely and thus also control the corrosion rate. Corrosion tests reveal that the ZrO 2 film can effectively reduce the corrosion rate of Mg-Sr alloys that is closely related to the thickness of the film. The cell culture test shows that this kind of ZrO 2 film can also enhance the activity and adhesion of osteoblasts on the surfaces of Mg-Sr alloys. Statement of Significance The significance of the current work is to develop a zirconia nanofilm on biomedical MgSr alloy with controllable thickness precisely through atomic layer deposition technique. By adjusting the thickness of nanofilm, the corrosion rate of Mg-Sr alloy can be modulated, thereafter, the degradation rate of Mg-based alloys can be controlled precisely according to actual clinical requirement. In addition, this zirconia nanofilm modified Mg-Sr alloys show excellent biocompatibility than the bare samples. Hence, this work provides a new surface strategy to control the degradation rate while improving the biocompatibility of substrates.
