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.

Different nanocrystalline magnesium with carbon layers were successfully synthesized via a facile wet-chemical ball milling method for 20, 30 and 40 h, respectively. Based on Scherrer formula and X-ray diffraction results, the average crystallite size of all the three samples was below 30 nm. TEM observations showed that the hydrogenated Mg particles were covered with carbon layers. Moreover, the 40 h ball milled Mg sample showed outstanding hydrogen storage performance especially in the aspect of hydrogen absorption . The as-prepared sample started to take up hydrogen at nearly room temperature and eventually absorbed 6.8 wt% hydrogen at 200 °C. The apparent activation energy (E a ) of hydrogen absorption for the sample was decreased to 26.7 kJ/mol, much lower than that of other reported systems. For the dehydrogenation experiments, the hydrogenated sample could start to release hydrogen at about 275 °C and 6.5 wt% hydrogen was desorbed in 20 min at 325 °C. Interestingly, the prepared samples showed noteworthy air stability. Been placed in the air for 60 min, the dehydrogenation kinetics and hydrogen capacity of the three samples were basically unchanged, making it possible to be used in future commercial applications.

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.

A new organic chemical reduction method was successfully used to synthesize magnesium-coated graphene (GNPs), and xGNPs/AZ91 nanocomposites with different contents were fabricated by vacuum hot-pressing sintering. The microstructure of the composite was mainly composed of the matrix (α-Mg) and the precipitated phase (β-Mg 17 Al 12 ) with different morphologies such as rods, spindles, and granules. The coarse irregular β phases precipitated along the grain boundaries, while fine rod-like β phases were distributed inside the crystal grains. With the increase of GNPs content, the grain and structure are significantly refined under the action of two mechanisms of increasing the nucleation rate and hindering the growth of grains. The average grain size of the 2.5-wt% GNPs/AZ91 composite dropped from 40.78 µm to 25.39 µm, a reduction of 37.7%. In addition, the orientation relationship (OR) between β-Mg 17 Al 12 and α-Mg was shown as [—3 —1 —1] β-Mg17Al12 )∥[1 —1 0 —1] α-Mg . Further, finer β phases were further precipitated in the grain boundaries and matrix. Moreover, the β precipitated phase and the GNP, as well as the GNP and magnesium-matrix formed a nano-scale contact interface and a diffusion bonding interface, thereby greatly enhancing the interface bonding strength between GNP and the matrix. Compared with AZ91 alloy , the grain refinement and load transfer caused by GNPs increased the microhardness of the composite by 17.6% and the friction coefficient was decreased by 37.4%. The significant improvement in the wear resistance of the composites was due to the effect of the lubricating layer formed by GNPs on the wear surface, which changed from severe delamination wear to slight delamination and abrasive wear behavior.

Mg(BH 4 ) 2 has been considered as one of the promising light metal complex hydrides due to its high hydrogen capacity and low cost. But its higher thermal stability (dehydrogenation at above 300 °C) needs to be improved for the practical application. In this study, the aluminum hydride AlH 3 was introduced into complex borohydride Mg(BH 4 ) 2 to synthesize a new Mg(BH 4 ) 2 AlH 3 composite by ball milling method. It is found that the active Al ∗ formed from the self-decomposition of AlH 3 can effectively improve the dehydrogenation properties of Mg(BH 4 ) 2 , the Mg(BH 4 ) 2 AlH 3 composite starts to release hydrogen at 130.8 °C with a total hydrogen capacity of 11.9 wt.%. The dehydrogenated products of the composite is composed of Mg 2 Al 3 and B at 350 °C, resulting in the improved hydrogen desorption properties of Mg(BH 4 ) 2 AlH 3 composite. The Mg 2 Al 3 and B products would be further transformed into MgAlB 4 and Al at 500 °C. Moreover, the Mg 2 Al 3 and B dehydrogenated products show better reversible hydrogen storage property than that of the MgAlB 4 and Al products. This research shows a way to alter hydrogen de/hydrogenation route and reversibility of Mg(BH 4 ) 2 complex hydride by compositing with AlH 3 and controlling the dehydrogenation temperature.

The Gd-rich cubic phase, which is ubiquitous in Mg-Gd alloys, plays a crucial role in determining their mechanical properties. However, its chemical composition has long been debated, and it has often been misidentified as MgGd or GdO. This study focuses on the origin and hereditary characteristics of the cubic phase. Through multiscale characterization techniques such as X-ray diffraction analysis, scanning electron microscopy, focused ion beam, and transmission electron microscopy, the microstructural evolution of three as-cast Mg-Gd binary alloys and their diluted counterparts (Mg-10 wt% Gd) was systematically investigated. The spatial distribution, crystal structure, and chemical composition of the cubic phase were examined. Microstructural analysis reveals that the cubic phase in the Mg-Gd binary alloy exhibits a face-centered cubic structure (lattice parameter a ≈ 0.5328 nm), and it is identified as GdH 2 . Additionally, trace amounts of α-Gd are detected. Upon dilution to Mg-10 wt% Gd, the GdH 2 phase remains largely undissolved, demonstrating stable hereditary characteristics, whereas the submicron α-Gd phase completely dissolves. The hereditary characteristics of GdH 2 are closely associated with the H content in the melt and the initial microstructure of the Mg-Gd binary alloy. This study resolves the existing controversy regarding the cubic phase, establishing a theoretical foundation for optimizing the design of Mg-Gd alloys and enhancing the strength–ductility synergy.

We have established a novel reaction process using Mg vapour and B powder (a gas–solid reaction) to synthesize MgB2 powder with a low oxygen content. For the first time, we tried to eliminate the oxygen in Mg powder with a specially designed furnace tube that can keep the sample under an inert atmosphere throughout the entire synthesis process. The duration of heat treatment has a conspicuous effect on the phase formation of MgB2 which differs greatly from the conventional solid state reaction method. At short durations such as 1 h, unreacted B powder is ubiquitous in the sample. Full formation of MgB2 is achieved at 3 h. At longer times such as 4 h, MgB2 decomposes to form MgB4. It is deduced that the main reason for the unstable MgB2 phase formation in the gas–solid reaction is the Mg vapour present during the entire process. A feasible chemical reaction model of the novel gas–solid reaction has been established. This work provides an important foundation to obtain almost oxygen-free MgB2, which can finally resolve the mystery of the effect of oxygen on superconductivity in this system.

Incorporating MXene nanomaterials in coating is an effective strategy to fabricate anticorrosive coatings with superior corrosion resistance, depending on its characteristic structure and nature. However, it may accelerate the corrosion rate of metal once forming galvanic corrosion by direct contact with the substrate due to its high conductivity and hydrophilicity. Herein, 1H,1H,2H,2H-perfluorodecyltrichlorosilane (PFDTS) is used to functionalize Ti 3 C 2 T x nanosheets to obtain superhydrophobic Ti 3 C 2 T x hybrids, which greatly enhances the hydrophobicity of Ti 3 C 2 T x nanosheets. Then, a new strategy is designed to construct superhydrophobic Ti 3 C 2 T x /epoxy/cerium conversion (STECC) composite coating with sandwich-like structure, which consists of bottom cerium conversion coating, intermediate epoxy coating, and top superhydrophobic Ti 3 C 2 T x coating layer. The underlying cerium conversion layer and intermediate epoxy coating acted as the protective coating not only improve the corrosion protection ability of substrate but also isolate the top superhydrophobic Ti 3 C 2 T x layer from direct contact with the substrate, which can eliminate direct contact between MXene and Mg alloy to further restrain the corrosion–promotion effect of Ti 3 C 2 T x . The STECC with unique structure exhibits excellent water repellency, robust mechanical and chemical stability. Electrochemical experimental results demonstrate that the modified MXene nanosheets can remarkably improve the corrosion protection performance of STECC composite coating, and the impedance modulus of STECC coating reaches the value of approximately 7.49 × 10 6 Ω cm 2 and increases four orders of magnitude compared with the Mg substrate. The composite coating studied here may offer valuable insights and inspiration toward developing MXene-based coating for high-performance anticorrosion.

Sorption processes at the mineral–water interface are of great importance in dominating the fate and availability of metalloid contaminants in natural environment. Aiming at a thorough understanding of the complexation of antimony (Sb) on metal hydroxide, we conducted first-principles molecular dynamic (FPMD) simulations and batch adsorption experiments to elucidate the quantitative mechanism of Sb complexation on Mg(OH) 2 . Batch experiments showed the sorption of Sb(III) is nearly pH-independent, while increasing pH markedly weakened Sb(V) sorption; the measured sorption isotherm curves were well fitted by Langmuir model. Subsequently, molecular-level mechanism of Sb(V)/Sb(III) on brucite basal and edge surfaces were revealed by FPMD, including microscopic surface reactive sites, local complexing structures and coordination geometries, and complexing free energies. Results showed that Sb(III)/Sb(V) can form outer-sphere complexation on basal surface by hydrogen bonding. On edge surface, Sb(III)/Sb(V) formed stable inner-sphere mononuclear monodentate and binuclear bidentate complexes. The calculated free energies indicated that the binuclear bidentate complexing was more favorable than monodentate structure, and the complexation of Sb(III) was more stable than Sb(V). Accordingly, reaction pathway of the ligand exchange and thermodynamic stability of the different inner-sphere complexes were clarified. This study provides theoretical basis for evaluating the environmental risk of Sb and improving the engineering efficiency of Sb-contaminated water management.

Graphical Dual ion storage : A high-performance and ultralong-life Mg−Li hybrid battery is presented, with the cobalt-doped anatase (Ti 1- x Co x O 2- y ) nanosheet cathode exhibiting outstanding pseudocapacitance. In-situ X-ray diffraction measurements reveal the unique Mg−Li dual-ion storage mechanism. This tactic presents new opportunities to design advanced Mg−Li hybrid batteries. Despite the proposed safety, performance, and cost advantages, practical implementation of Mg−Li hybrid batteries is limited due to the unavailability of reliable cathodes compatible with the dual-ion system. Herein, a high-performance Mg−Li dual ion battery based upon cobalt-doped TiO 2 cathode was developed. Extremely pseudocapacitance-type Ti 1- x Co x O 2- y nanosheets consist of an optimum 3.57 % Co-atoms. This defective cathode delivered exceptional pseudocapacitance (maximum of 93 %), specific capacities (386 mAh g −1 at 25 mA g −1 ), rate performance (191 mAh g −1 at 1 A g −1 ), cyclability (3000 cycles at 1 A g −1 ), and coulombic efficiency (≈100 %) and fast charging (≈11 min). This performance was superior to the TiO 2 -based Mg−Li dual-ion battery cathodes reported earlier. Mechanistic studies revealed dual-ion intercalation pseudocapacitance with negligible structural changes. Excellent electrochemical performance of the cation-doped TiO 2 cathode was credited to the rapid pseudocapacitance-type Mg/Li-ion diffusion through the disorder generated by lattice distortions and oxygen vacancies. Ultrathin nature, large surface area, 2D morphology, and mesoporosity also contributed as secondary factors facilitating superior electrode-electrolyte interfacial kinetics. The demonstrated method of pseudocapacitance-type Mg−Li dual-ion intercalation by introducing lattice distortions/oxygen vacancies through selective doping can be utilized for the development of several other potential electrodes for high-performance Mg−Li dual-ion batteries.

Ternary compounds, Mg 3 TeO 6 , Mg 2 Te 3 O 8 , MgTe 2 O 5 and MgTe 6 O 13 , in the Mg-Te-O system have been synthesized in the present study, and their decomposition behaviors at various atmospheric conditions have been experimentally studied with the TGA-DSC technique. Obtained results showed that: 1) Mg 3 TeO 6 started to decompose to MgO , TeO 2 , and O 2 at 1255.9 °C in the carrying gas of 20% O 2 - 80% Ar, and the initial decomposition temperature decreased along with decreasing oxygen concentration in the gas; 2) Mg 2 Te 3 O 8 decomposed to MgO and TeO 2 , and when the O 2 was rich in the gas, Mg 3 TeO 6 was also found in the product. The initial decomposition temperature of Mg 2 Te 3 O 8 was 832.1 °C, 839.2 °C, and 839.9 °C, when the O 2 concentration in the carrying gas was 20%, 0.1%, and 0.0001%, respectively; 3) The decomposition products of MgTe 2 O 5 were same with that of Mg 2 Te 3 O 8 , and its initial decomposition temperature decreased along with decreasing the O 2 concentration in the gas; 4) MgTe 6 O 13 decomposed to MgTe 2 O 5 and TeO 2 around 700 °C, and the initial decomposition temperature decreased with decreasing O 2 concentration in the gas. Along with increasing temperature, MgTe 2 O 5 converted to Mg 3 TeO 6 through oxidation reactions, and Mg 3 TeO 6 decomposed at elevated temperatures.

High entropy oxides (HEOs) have attracted the attention of researchers due to their high theoretical specific capacity and structural stability. However, the effect of elements in HEOs on material properties is unknown. In this work, HEOs (FeNiCrMnZn) 3 O 4 and (FeNiCrMnMg) 3 O 4 were successfully synthesized and used as anode materials for lithium ion batteries . The effects of Zn and Mg on the properties of HEOs were studied from the aspects of crystal structure, micro morphology, and surface valence. Results show that Zn enhances the lithium storage performance of HEOs theoretically, which is verified in the later electrochemical performance tests. (FeNiCrMnZn) 3 O 4 is better than (FeNiCrMnMg) 3 O 4 in all aspects of rate properties, cycle performance, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy . Therefore, the introduction of electrochemically active metals, such as Zn, can improve the performance of HEOs, thereby providing ideas for the subsequent design and application of HEOs.
