This study presents the synthesis of novel Mg(BH 4 ) 2 @V 2 C, Mg(BH 4 ) 2 @Nb 2 C and Mg(BH 4 ) 2 @Ti 3 C 2 composites using a solution-based nanoconfinement strategy, achieving robust architecture of Mg(BH 4 ) 2 onto Mxene structures. Among these composites, the Mg(BH 4 ) 2 @V 2 C composite exhibited an initial dehydrogenation temperature of 76.4 °C and released 9 wt% hydrogen at 300 °C, which exhibited the optimal hydrogen release behavior. Its two-step dehydrogenation activation energies (104.44 kJ/mol and 118.52 kJ/mol) were significantly lower than those of pure Mg(BH 4 ) 2 , showing improved dehydrogenation kinetics. After four absorption-desorption cycles, the composite could still desorb 4.9 wt% hydrogen, demonstrating excellent cycling stability. Further structural investigations revealed that V 2 C actually acted as a “functionalized” matrix, which improved hydrogen storage through a combination of nanoconfinement and catalytic effects, promoting both hydrogen desorption and absorption. This work provides critical insights for designing high-performance hydrogen storage materials and advances the development of next-generation storage systems.

This study investigated the effects of different homogenization treatments on the microstructure, mechanical properties, and in vitro degradation behavior of an Mg-2Zn-0.1Ca alloy. The results indicated that homogenization significantly increased the alloy's grain size, reaching 1327.5 μm after 400°C/12-h treatment, an approximately 38.8% increase compared to 956.27 μm for the as-cast alloy. Regarding mechanical properties, homogenization markedly improved the tensile elongation, with the highest value of 20.8% achieved after 400/12-h treatment, representing an approximately 95% increase from the as-cast alloy's 10.66%. Conversely, the ultimate tensile strength (UTS) peaked at 138.53 MPa under the 350°C/12-h condition, an approximately 13% improvement over the as-cast state. In terms of in vitro degradation, homogenized alloys exhibited higher degradation rates than as-cast samples. Notably, the 400°C/12-h homogenization treatment resulted in the fastest corrosion rate, approximately 1.68 times higher than that of the as-cast alloy.

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.

Zn-Al-Mg powder co-diffusion was performed on Q235 steel using a mechanical energy-assisted diffusion process. The resulting ZAM alloy diffusion coating comprised an inner Fe Zn layer composed of δ(FeZn 10 ) and Γ(Fe 11 Zn 40 ) phases, while the outer layer exhibited a multiphase structure distributed discontinuously in island-like or dot-like patterns on the δ-phase surface. The multiphase structure exhibits layered characteristics extending outward from the δ phase: an Al-rich layer composed of Al 2 O 3 and Fe Al phases; a Mg-rich layer interwoven with Mg Al phases, Mg Zn phases, and MgO; and an amorphous ZnO layer. The growth mechanism is investigated by this study, revealing that during the primary co-diffusion phase, a 20 μm Fe Zn layer formed first on the substrate. Subsequently, increased Al atoms combined with Fe atoms within the Fe Zn phase to form an Fe Al layer, thereby inhibiting Fe Zn layer growth. Finally, active Mg atoms form a Mg-rich layer on the surface of the Fe Al layer. Mg-rich layer combines with Al atoms to form a Mg Al phase and induces lattice distortion, thereby inhibiting Fe Al layer growth. Throughout the process, the removal of HCl exposes the Fe Zn layer and restores its normal growth. Eventually, under this dynamic mechanism, a complex, multi-phase outer structure is formed. The self-corrosion current (J corr ) of the ZAM diffusion coating (1.673 × 10 −5 A/cm 2 ) markedly lower than the ZA diffusion coating (5.499 × 10 −5 A/cm 2 ). While the ZAM diffusion coating exhibited a weight gain of 1.182 ± 0.075 mg/cm 2 after 120 h of oxidation at 500 °C, which was slightly higher than the ZA diffusion coating but considerably lower than Q235 steel.

NO 2 is a potent air pollutant because of its deleterious effects on human beings and other organisms. The state-of-the-art catalysis-based deNO x techniques (e.g., selective catalytic/non-catalytic reduction) are incapable of ambient NO 2 abatement due to their low efficiency at temperatures below 300 °C. It is thus conceivable to directly capture NO 2 from the atmosphere by selective adsorption on porous materials. This work reports the rational development and demonstration of the Mg–Al layered double hydroxides (LDHs) and their derived mixed metal oxides (MMO), using environmentally benign solvents , as high-capacity adsorbents for ambient NO 2 abatement. By boosting the densities of accessible basic sites using layer delamination strategies, the highest NO 2 adsorption capacity of 8.52 mmol/g was achieved by the delaminated LDH material (LDH-AM), which was substantially higher than other popular and robust adsorbents, such as zeolites (0.36–3 mmol/g) and carbon-based adsorbents (2–6 mmol/g). Using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and powder X-ray diffraction, it was revealed that NO 2 adsorption occurs on the surface M-OH basic sites and within the layers by simultaneously replacing the interlayer CO 3 2− ions of LDH. This work affords not only promising, durable, and scalable adsorbents for ambient NO 2 removal but also a strategy to develop adsorbents with high density of basic sites for capture of other pollutant acid gases from the environment.

The electronic properties and infrared emissivity of Zn 1-x Mg x O (x = 0, 0.0625, 0.125) were systematically investigated by using the first-principle calculation s based on density functional theory (DFT). The Zn 1-x Mg x O (x = 0, 0.0625, 0.125) powders were prepared by sol-gel method and their infrared emissivity in the wavelength of 8–14 μm was characterized. The results indicate that the infrared emissivity increases with the increase in Mg concentration, which is attributed to the reduction in conductivity and in the real part of dielectric function. Furthermore, the variation in conductivity and dielectric function has been well studied, and a reasonable method to calculate infrared emissivity of semiconductors has been established. It is expected that this method can be used for designing materials with different infrared emissivity and also applied for effectively guiding the experimental investigation.

The Mg/Al hydrotalcite with different morphologies was prepared under mild conditions through a coprecipitation process. The sulfur- and phosphorus-free MA2 nanosheets were used in combination with MoDTC to improve the low load-bearing capacity and unsatisfactory tribological properties of organic molybdenum in PAO8. Especially, the 2.0 wt % MA2 nanosheets combined with 2.0 wt % MoDTC demonstrated the highest friction performances in PAO8. The results indicated that the synergistic effect between MA2 and MoDTC contributes to the formation of a stable tribofilm composed of MoS2, MgO, Al2O3, MoO3, Fe2(SO4)3, Fe2O3, and Fe3O4. This tribofilm not only could effectively protect the friction interface and provide friction-reducing and antiwear effects but also possess high film-forming rates (PB value) and load-bearing capacity.

MgB 2 superconductor pellets were synthesized through Mg gas infiltration method using nanosized- and microsized B powders. There was a marked difference in the superconducting properties of the two samples, particularly in the pinning force and dominant pinning mechanism. The microstructures of the samples were observed using HR-TEM and STEM-HAADF, and the results showed that the primary reason for the difference in the superconducting properties is the distribution of the nanosized second-phase particle MgO. Additionally, a feasible reaction model for the Mg gas infiltration method was established. Compared to the Mg liquid infiltration method, the gas infiltration showed better penetrability ability with a small amount of residual Mg. This study presents a novel synthesis process to fabricate an MgB 2 pellet with superior density and superconducting properties. This method can be used in multiple applications such as superconducting bearings, compact superconductor magnets, and magnetic shielding.

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.

This study presents a systematic investigation of the crystalline phases, grain characteristics, dynamic hysteresis loops, and magnetodielectric attributes of Mg 0.9 Zn 0.1 Fe 2- x Co x O 4 ferrites ( x = 0.00–0.10, with a increments of 0.02). The samples were fabricated by a solid-state synthesis route, and formed by sintering at 950 °C for 3 h. XRD analysis shows that all samples possess the standard ferrite phase. Due to the influence of sintering additive Bi 2 O 3 , the trace amounts of Bi 24 Fe 2 O 39 phase are present in the samples, which exert a positive influence on the material’s dielectric performance. Analysis of the grain characteristics indicates that the mean crystallite dimension of the samples gradually increases as Co 2 + ion substitution level rises, and the particle size distribution becomes more uniform. Upon applied magnetic field stimulation, all samples present outstanding soft magnetic properties. When the Co 2+ content is 0.06, the saturation magnetization of the material attains a peak value of 48.8 emu/g. Dynamic magnetic measurements reveal that the permeability decreases significantly (from 20 to 7.5) with the incorporation of Co 2+ ions, while the cutoff frequency correspondingly increases from 0.2 GHz to 1 GHz. At x = 0.08, the sample exhibits excellent magneto-dielectric matching characteristics across the 10–300 MHz frequency band. The normalized impedance value is approximately 1, and the permeability and permittivity are nearly equal in magnitude ( μ' = 10, ε' = 10.1 at 100 MHz). Additionally, the magnetic and dielectric losses are remarkably low at 100 MHz, with tanδ μ = 0.054 and tanδ ε = 0.0048. Consequently, the magneto-dielectric material prepared in this work is a potential option for miniaturized VHF antenna substrate material.

Rechargeable Mg batteries (RMBs) are a promising large-scale energy-storage technology with low cost and high safety, but the performance is limited by the inferior kinetics of Mg-intercalation cathodes. In the present study, an octylamine-supporting interlayer expanded molybdenum diselenide (e-MoSe 2 ) is synthesized and used as cathode for RMBs, in comparison with ordinary crystalline MoSe 2 . The octylamine molecules introduced show a strong interaction with the MoSe 2 layers and increase the layer spacing significantly from 6.46 to 11.5 Å. e-MoSe 2 shows a high Mg-storage capacity of 238 mAh g −1 at 50 mA g −1 and a superior rate performance of 39 mAh g −1 at 10 A g −1 , far advantageous over crystalline MoSe 2 . e-MoSe 2 also shows a considerably high structure stability during repeated magnesiation/demagnesiation, providing an outstanding cycling stability for 1000 cycles. Further electrochemical tests demonstrate the high Mg 2+ diffusion coefficients in e-MoSe 2 . Theoretical computation indicates the interlayer expansion changes the Mg 2+ diffusion paths from “hollow site → hollow site” to “hollow site → Se atom site → hollow site”, largely decreasing the energy barrier and improving the Mg 2+ diffusion kinetics. The present work highlights an efficient strategy for the improvement of Mg-storage performance for RMB cathodes.

To enhance the electrochemical performance of Se cathode for high-energy-density magnesium-selenium (Mg–Se) batteries with easily prepared nucleophilic (PhMgCl) 2 -AlCl 3 +LiCl/THF (APC-based) hybrid electrolyte, Cu doped Se@MC composites (Cu–Se@MC) with different Cu content (0.05, 0.10, 0.15, 0.20, 0.25 and 0.30) are prepared by impregnation reduction and melting selenization method. The composites are composed of a mixture of chain-structured Se and CuSe embedding in the microporous carbon, and the addition of Cu significantly improves reversibility and cycle life of the composites in the nucleophilic APC-based hybrid electrolyte. At the 0.25 Cu content, the cell exhibits 346.7mAhg −1 first discharge capacity and the specific capacity maintains at 112mAhg −1 after 200 cycles at a current density of 50 mA g −1 , which is superior to that with non-nucleophilic Mg(HMDS) 2 -(AlCl 3 ) 2 –MgCl 2 +LiTFSI/DME (HMDS-based) and MBA-(MgCl 2 ) 2 –(AlCl 3 ) 2 +LiCl/THF (MBA-based) hybrid electrolytes.
