To alleviate the supply–demand contradiction of gallium metal (Ga), this study reports a method of preparing 2-CNT/UiO-66-NH 2 composite materials by combining carbon nanotubes (CNTs) with UiO-66 series metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) to improve the recovery and utilization efficiency of Ga in solution. The adsorbent material is used for selective adsorption and recovery of Ga in aqueous solutions. The physical properties of the composite adsorbent, such as morphology, structure, and elemental composition, were explored by analyzing the surface characteristics of the samples. The impacts of variables like the amount of adsorbent used, time, solution concentration, pH value, and coexisting ions on adsorption efficiency were explored during the experiment. The results indicate that ion exchange and chelation play a major role in the adsorption of Ga by 2-CNT/UiO-66-NH 2 , and Ga ions can be separated and recovered from the mixed solution through selective adsorption. At 313 K and pH = 8, the greatest amount of adsorption is 925.44 mg/g, and the rate at which it is absorbed can reach 99% when the adsorption time is only 1 h. The hybrid absorbent generally has a high adsorption efficiency and good selective adsorption performance for Ga, providing more efficient and economical technical assistance for the future recovery and exploitation of Ga supplies.

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).

The migration, transformation, and enrichment of strategic metal elements in coal in the process of coal processing and utilization are significant for their effective extraction and application. In this work, the migration, transformation, and enrichment of Li, Ga, Ge, In, and Re during coal pyrolysis were investigated by six-step sequential chemical extraction. The results showed that Li mainly exists in a residual state in raw coal and pyrolytic products under 500 ℃; however, the content of sulfide state Li increases largely when the pyrolysis temperature exceeds 500 ℃. Ga mainly enriches in residual form, and the content of Ga in the residual state rises with the pyrolysis temperature increasing. Ge mainly presents in the form of carbonate-binding state, sulfide state, and residual state. As the temperature rises to higher than 500 ℃, Ge combines with the carbon and oxygen compounds produced by pyrolysis to form a carbonate-binding state, resulting in a significant increase in its content. The content of Ge in the residual state also increases significantly. The ratio of carbonate-binding state and organic state In gradually decreases with the increase of pyrolysis temperature, while that of residual state In gradually increases. Due to the low content of Re, the reliability of the test results is poor. However, Re may exist in sulfide, organic, and residual states. With the pyrolysis temperature increasing, Li, Ga, Ge, In, and Re in pyrolysis products are more likely to combine with aluminosilicate than those in raw coal.

Ga-ZSM-5 zeolite has excellent performance for methanol to aromatics (MTA) reactions, but introducing Ga metal into ZSM-5 zeolite leads to a complex acid species. The present study investigated the effect of Ga metal content on the acid amount and MTA reaction products in the hydrothermal synthesis of Ga-ZSM-5 zeolite. Lewis acid mainly formed at a Ga/Al ratio below 2.0, and at a Ga/Al ratio higher than 2.0, framework Ga species formed, increasing Brønsted acid content. Ga 2.0 -ZSM-5 zeolite exhibited the lowest B/L acid ratio (0.48), excellent BTX selectivity (40.26%), and the highest H 2 selectivity (8.93%). This finding indicates the most pronounced synergistic hydrogenation of Brønsted and Lewis acids. Ga 3.0 -ZSM-5 produced more xylene with more Brønsted acid compared to Ga 1.0 -ZSM-5, although they both had the same B/L acid ratio. The alterations in acidic species at different content of Ga metal appear to be conducive to the regulation of acidity in Ga-ZSM-5 zeolites.

Coal fly ash (CFA) is a promising alternative source for critical elements. Most of the critical elements in CFA are associated with the aluminosilicate glassy phase , which hinders their ability to solubilize during acid leaching. In this study, critical elements (Li, Be, Rb, Sr, Zr, Nb, Cs, Hf, Ta, Ga, Ge, Se, Cd, and Tl) were recovered from CFA of Pingwei power plant in China by alkali fusion-organic acid leaching. The results showed that the leaching rate of critical elements after alkali fusion was higher than that of direct organic acid leaching. The leaching rate of total critical elements was 72.56% under the optimal conditions. Among them, the highest leaching rate of Li, Be and Ga was more than 90%, and the highest leaching rate of Ge, Se, Rb, Sr, Zr, Nb, Cd, Cs and Hf was 70%-90%. Characterization analysis revealed that the amorphous aluminosilicate and silica phases in the raw CFA were destroyed by alkali fusion, resulting in nepheline and soluble aluminosilicate phases which were easily dissolved by citric acid . This study provides theoretical basis and technical support for the extraction of critical elements from CFA.

A series of Ga 3+ -doped Zn 2 GeO 4 willemite ceramics, in a general formula Zn 2+0.5 x Ge 1− x Ga x O 4 (0.1 ≤ x ≤ 0.4), were prepared and the influence of Ga 3+ doping on the phase composition, structure, microstructure, and microwave dielectric properties were studied. XRD, SEM, and Raman analysis evidence that by moderate gallium substitution in the nominal Zn 2 GeO 4 , the unfavorable ZnO phase was suppressed, while a low-loss ZnGa 2 O 4 phase was induced. With increasing doping content, the ZnGa 2 O 4 phase increases in phase percentage and becomes dominant (~ 69%) after x = 0.3. Due to the mixture rule, both relative permittivity and quality factor were improved, which is related to the superior dielectric properties of ZnGa 2 O 4 compared to Zn 2 GeO 4 . The microwave dielectric properties show a remarkable dependence on the composition. Sintered at 1230 °C, a combination of dielectric performances with ε r ~ 9.4, Q × f ~ 97,000 GHz, and τ f ~ − 30.7 ppm/°C was accessed in the x = 0.4 composition.

The recovery of critical metals from industrial waste is very important and challenging. This work proposed an efficient process for recovering aluminum, lithium, iron and gallium from coal fly ash leachate. Firstly, 98.1 %, 86.6 % and 99.8 % of iron, lithium and gallium are coextracted by tributyl phosphate (TBP), facilitating the subsequent use of the aluminum raffinate. The spectroscopic analysis verifies the formation of [Li(TBP) 2 ][FeCl 4 ] and [Li(TBP) 2 ][G a C l 4 ]. Afterwards, the effective separation of lithium, iron, gallium in TBP is achieved by stepwise stripping. Lithium can be almost completely stripped using 6 mol/L HCl with free iron and gallium of loss. An extremely high separation factor of iron and gallium (α Fe/Ga , 1175) can be achieved through reduction stripping by precisely controlling pH value and oxidation–reduction potential. Finally, about 99.5 % of gallium can be stripped with 0 ∼ 1 mol/L HCl. This work realizes the synergistic recovery of valuable metals from waste resources.

Two-dimensional gallium oxide (Ga2O3) is a promising material with diverse applications, but its development and application are hindered by the complicated synthesis process of 2D Ga2O3 film. However, the van der Waals printing method, which employs liquid metal as a platform, can simply synthesize large-scale and high-quality 2D oxide films with ease. Moreover, the band structure of oxide films can be modulated through doping during the printing process, broadening their applications. In this study, pure and doped Ga2O3 films have been successfully synthesized by using Bi–Ga alloys with different ratios (0 wt% Bi, 1 wt% Bi, 10 wt% Bi, 15 wt% Bi) via the van der Waals printing method. Furthermore, the modulation of the band structure of Ga2O3 films by doping ranging from 5.23 eV to 4.88 eV is systematically investigated. Photodetectors based on Ga2O3 films with a controllable band structure have been fabricated, which demonstrated good sensing performance with a responsivity of 959 mA W−1, detectivity of 3.43 × 1011 Jones, and response/recovery time of 13 ms/18 ms. This printing method provides a straightforward, low-cost, and high-efficiency strategy for synthesizing and doping 2D oxide films, which could advance their practical applications.

The Al sheets alloyed by Ga-In-Sn are generally utilized to react with water for H2 production, while the valuable byproducts, i.e., alumina hydrates, have not been fully studied. In this work, through controlling the reaction temperature, three types of alumina hydrates, bayerite (40 °C), pseudo-boehmite (PB) (70–120 °C), and boehmite (130–160 °C), were successfully prepared based on a series of interface reactions and structural transformations. These alumina hydrates and their calcined products (alumina) possess high purity with a total impurity element content of <450 ppm, especially an extremely low sodium content (<21 ppm) and iron content (<52 ppm). Significantly, the obtained pseudo-boehmite displays excellent surface properties (specific surface area: 332.7 m2 g–1, pore volume: 0.3 cm3 g–1, and pore diameter: 3.6 nm), competitive to the current commercial SB powder by Sasol. This work not only deepens the understanding of the byproducts in a Ga-In-Sn-alloyed Al–water reaction but also establishes a facile “green” method oriented to industrial applications, which is promising for the linkage benefits of the hydrogen production industry.

Coal gasification slag (CGS) is rich in Li and Ga. However, few studies have focused on the extraction of Li and Ga from CGS. In the present study, the leaching of Li and Ga from CGS calcined with the alkali reagents including NaOH, KOH, Na 2 O 2 , Na 2 CO 3 and K 2 CO 3 were studied through water leaching and solid characterizations including XRD, TG-DSC and NMR. The best leaching percentages of Li and Ga from NaOH-, KOH-, Na 2 O 2 -, Na 2 CO 3 - and K 2 CO 3 -roasted products were 40.81% and 47.89%, 41.19% and 31.60%, 28.04% and 52.40%, 28.21% and 48.58%, and 34.29% and 38.61%, respectively, showing Li and Ga are difficult to be leached out. It has been proven that the formation of insoluble crystal substances (such as NaAlSiO 4 ) in alkali fusion products inhibits the leaching of Li and Ga. In addition, Li and Ga can be released from the insoluble crystal substances due to Na 2 SiO 3 in alkali fusion products can promote the dissolution of insoluble crystal substances into SiO 4 and AlO 4 species, which can improve the leaching of Li and Ga. However, part of the released Li and Ga are stabled in the structure of amorphous substances generated by SiO 4 and AlO 4 species in the form of isomorphism, reducing the leaching of Li and Ga. Thus, this work would provide guidance for the leaching of Li and Ga from CGS.

Isobutanol derived from biomass can serve as a potential renewable candidate for the production of light olefins and aromatics, which are the building blocks to manufacture fuels and chemicals in the petrochemical industry. Dependent upon the product requirements, the product selectivity toward olefins or aromatics can be tuned by adjusting the reaction conditions and the properties of HZSM-5 catalysts. On bare HZSM-5, mild conditions (low temperature, low space time, and low acidity) favored the production of olefins and harsh conditions (high temperature, high space time, and high acidity) were more likely to produce aromatics. Ga was impregnated onto HZSM-5 to enhance the production of aromatics. Unexpectedly, Ga introduction only induced the intertransformation between olefins and aromatics without significantly impacting the selectivity of low-value paraffins. The exchanged Ga sites functioning together with Brønsted acid were identified as active Ga species and strengthened the direct dehydrogenation of C6–C8 olefins. The in situ-generated water from isobutanol dehydration affected the formation of Ga species. This resulted in different promotional effects of Ga on the transformation of isobutanol and isobutene. The reaction pathways were developed on the basis of the catalyst evaluation results, in tandem with an in situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy study on the intermediates formed during isobutanol transformation. Selectivity of olefins and aromatics from isobutanol transformation can be tuned by adjusting reaction conditions and properties of HZSM-5 catalysts.
