Magnetic nanoparticles of Nd-Fe3O4 were prepared by hydrothermal synthesis method, using NdCl3·6H2O and FeCl3·6H2O as the starting materials in this paper. The structure and morphology of nanoparticles were investigated by XRD, FTIR, EDS and TEM. The results showed that, while the addition of Nd at 10% in mole ratio, resulted in the formation of Nd2O3 crystal peak in cubic Fe3O4 nanocrystallites by XRD. The absorption bands of Fe‒O, ‒OH, ‒O‒C‒O‒ and ‒CH2‒ were accordant to the correspondent chemical groups by FTIR. The morphology of the prepared nanoparticles exhibited spherical structure and evenly distributed without agglomeration phenomenon by TEM. The elemental composition were mainly consistent with the precursor materials used in the experiment.

A novel no-clean flux enabled direct, plating-free soldering of Cu/Al joints using Sn42Bi58 paste. • Organic acid carbon chain length was tailored to regulate flux activity and interfacial reactions. • A synergistic mechanism between organic acids and fluoroborate salts was elucidated. • The medium-chain succinic acid flux achieved optimal joint strength via interfacial solid solution formation. • The study establishes a clear structure-property relationship from molecular design to joint performance. This study addresses the challenge of low-temperature, flux-based direct soldering for copper‑aluminum dissimilar joints, a critical need in advanced thermal management. A series of novel fluxes were synthesized by incorporating dicarboxylic acids with varying carbon chain lengths—malonic, succinic, and adipic acid—into a triethanolamine-fluoroborate matrix, mixed with Sn42Bi58 powder to form corresponding solder pastes (TL-1 to TL-4). Comprehensive characterization, including wettability tests, shear strength measurements, XRD, SEM-EDS, and FIB-TEM analysis, was conducted. Mechanistically, it is revealed that the carbon chain length dictates the critical balance between flux viscosity (steric hindrance) and carboxylate activation capability. The medium-chain succinic acid in TL-3 achieves an optimal “activation-diffusion-reaction” synergy. It acts concertedly with fluoroborates to thoroughly disrupt the stable native oxides (CuO and Al 2 O 3 ) while simultaneously lowering the diffusion energy barrier for Zn 2+ . This specific interfacial modulation entirely suppresses the conventional formation of brittle intermetallic compounds (IMCs) or non-bonded oxide residues. Consequently, TL-3 facilitates the formation of continuous nanoscale Cu 0.95 Zn 0.049 and Al 0.86 Zn 0.14 solid solution layers at the copper and aluminum interfaces, respectively, achieving robust atomic-level metallurgical bonding. Macroscopically, TL-3 exhibits superior performance with a minimum contact angle of 3.2° on Cu, an exceptional shear strength of 125.86 MPa, and an interfacial nanohardness of 0.826 ± 0.068 GPa. The primary scientific contribution of this work lies in elucidating this novel solid-solution-mediated interfacial strengthening mechanism, offering an innovative atomic-scale engineering pathway for the highly reliable, electroplating-free low-temperature soft soldering of Cu/Al heterogeneous structures.

RbBr nanocubes were transformed from solid to hollow nanostructure under e-beam irradiation while maintaining the size, exterior shape, and crystalline structure. The process of the morphological evolution was studied by in situ TEM characterization at atomic resolution. The transformation was attributed to combination of the radiolysis and surface ligand bonding (stabilization). The radiolysis occurred at the surface resulted in evaporation or sputtering of the constituent atoms at the unpassivated sites, leaving vacancies at the surface which facilitate the outward diffusion of atoms from inside. The atoms near the surface were stabilized by the bonding of the ligands and remained in the crystalline configuration, leading to the formation of hollow nanocubes.

For cost and safety reasons, aqueous batteries are suitable for large-scale energy storage. Among all aqueous batteries, rechargeable aqueous zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs) are promising choices owing to the low equilibrium potential and high volumetric capacity of zinc. However, its development is also severely hindered by the limited available cathode materials, which generally display poor cycling capabilities. As one of the most investigated POVs (polyvanadates) today, (V 10 O 28 ) 6− has been demonstrated to be feasible in energy storage rely on the well-defined structure and fascinating material activity. Herein, we propose a polyvanadate-Na 6 V 10 O 28 with (V 10 O 28 ) 6− anion as a support structure and serve it for the first time as an aqueous ZIBs cathode. The high stability of the (V 10 O 28 ) 6− cluster permits the material to tolerate the reversible (de)insertion of Zn 2+ . As a result, the Na 6 V 10 O 28 cathode delivers a high capacity of 279.5 mAh g −1 after activation and an extraordinary lifespan over 2000 cycles. Furthermore, the pseudocapacitance analysis and GITT test reveal the pseudocapacitance behavior and high Zn 2+ diffusion coefficient (10 −10 cm 2 s −1 ) of the Na 6 V 10 O 28 /Zn cell, respectively. Not only that, ex-situ XRD, XPS, and TEM are also employed to analyze the storage mechanism of Zn 2+ , indicating the synergistic zinc-storage capacity of Na 6 V 10 O 28 and irreversible products. Overall, this work presents new insights into the application of Na 6 V 10 O 28 in aqueous ZIBs and also demonstrates the competitive potential of POVs for energy storage.

Ordered mesoporous materials are one of the mesoporous materials with a pore diameter of 2–50 nm. They are a new kind of materials with uniform pore size, highly ordered nanopores and high specific surface area. SBA-15 is a typical ordered mesoporous material. In addition, polymeric composites based on SBA-15 have been widely used in many fields. At present, the characterization of the pore structure of SBA-15 is usually obtained by chemical or physical experiments. However, due to many uncertain factors in the experiment process, it is impossible to know whether the sample meets the experimental conditions before detecting it. The trial and error cost in this process is too high, and repeated measurement experiments will greatly damage the pore structure. In this paper, using computer to simulate the pore size distribution of SBA-15 based on the pore size distribution maps of SEM and TEM images. Firstly, the image is segmented by threshold, then the aperture data are obtained by the maximum inscribed circle algorithm, and finally the probability density curve of aperture distribution is obtained by a statistical method. The results show that the aperture probability density curve obtained by this method is more similar to the real aperture distribution curve. This method provides a reference for reducing the experimental cost in the process of preparing SBA-15.

Owing to the increasingly stringent environmental regulations, eco-friendly waterborne epoxy (WEP) coating currently gets much attention as an alternative choice of traditional coating. But the intrinsic problems of WEP, including poor barrier property and lack of long-term anticorrosion performance, was a limitation for its application. Herein, α-zirconium phosphate (α-ZrP) was prepared and exfoliated under mild condition. Then α-ZrP after exfoliation was functionalized by eco-friendly phytic acid (PA) molecular and a novel nano-filler (PZ) was obtained. The test results of the XRD , FTIR, SEM, TEM and XPS indicated that the preparation of nano-materials was successful. Through the EIS test, the outstanding barrier property of WEP incorporating with PZ was proved. Moreover, the excellent long-term anticorrosion performance of WEP incorporating with PZ was also proved by the salt spray test .

The development of green and efficient photocatalytic materials for the treatment of medical and industrial wastewater has become a current research focus. In this work, the CeO 2 /Zn 0.4 Cd 0.6 S heterojunction with a special 0D/1D morphology was synthesized by a soft chemistry method. The successful construction of the heterojunction was verified by the binding energy migration of XPS and TEM . The photocatalytic activities were determined by photoreduction of hexavalent chromium ions (Cr VI ) and photodegradation of tetracycline hydrochloride (TC). The experimental results showed that the loading of CeO 2 significantly improves the photocatalytic performance of Zn 0.4 Cd 0.6 S, and the loading of 10 wt% CeO 2 has the best photocatalytic activity and structural stability. The S-scheme electron transport mechanism was particularly investigated through active species trapping experiments. This work provides an effective idea for the design of highly stable metal sulfide photocatalysts .

Due to its adaptable performance and industrial manufacturing, sulfonated poly ether ether ketone (SPEEK) is suitable for proton exchange membrane (PEM). Organica-inorganic composite membrane was suggested as a way to further enhance its performance. By combining different weights of titanium (IV) oxide acetylacetonate (TiOacac) with polyacrylonitrile (PAN), a PAN/TiOacac solution was created that could then be used to create PAN/TiOacac nanofiber . After the nanofiber has been calcined, TNT-10, TNT-30, and TNT-50 can be produced. Following the incorporation of these three types of TNT into the SPEEK matrix, the solution-casting approach allowed for the simple development of the TNT/SPEEK membrane. The composite membrane of 1%TNT-10/SPEEK and 1%TNT-50/SPEEK was discontinuous and inefficient due to the loose and abundant titanium dioxide in TNT-10 and TNT-50, respectively. While it was compact for TNT-30 with premium performance, so 1%TNT-30/SPEEK would form continuous proton transport channels in PEM and have an interaction between TNT-30 and SPEEK matrix, which was confirmed by FTIR , TEM and XPS. To create a high-performance PEM, it is necessary to develop a continuous proton transport channel.

Supramolecular two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials from block copolymers have received great interest for their unique structure and properties. Here, we report the formation of ultrathin nanosheets from self-assembly of amphiphilic poly(ethylene glycol)-b-poly(N-(2-phenylethyl)glycine) (PEG-b-PNPE) diblock copolymers, which contain rigid crystallizable polypeptoid segment. The PEG-b-PNPE copolymers were synthesized via ring opening polymerization (ROP). The obtained PEG-b-PNPE diblock copolymers can spontaneously form highly ordered structures in PEG selective solvents such as water and methanol. The copolymers with short PNPE segment can directly form nanosheets in water, and the obtained 2D nanosheets have a uniform thickness of 4–5 nm. In contrast, the copolymers with relatively long PNPE segment can only assemble into nanosheets with the assistance of methanol. It is proposed that the crystallization and π–π stacking of PNPE blocks play critical roles in the formation of the nanosheet as suggested by grazing incidence wide-angle X-ray scattering (GIWAXS). During the process of adding water into copolymer methanol solution, the nanosheets were observed to evolve from individual nanofibers, to parallel aligning nanofibers, and eventually to the nanosheet structures verified by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and cryo-TEM characterizations. We demonstrated that the preassembled filament behave as a fundamental packing motif to align laterally and further fuse into platelet-like structures. The assembly structure evolution process was tracked by TEM, atomic force microscopy, and cryo-TEM techniques. The understandings of supramolecular 2D nanosheet formation offer a new opportunity to make hierarchical nanostructures from polypeptoids containing copolymers.

Catalytic conversion of furfural and its derivatives to value-added C 5 molecules has attractive much attention in the field of biomass conversion . In this paper, the selective hydrogenolysis of tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol to 1,5-pentanediol has been studied over a series of PrO x promoted Ni/Al 2 O 3 catalysts. The catalytic performances and the promoting effects of PrO x , as well as the role of Ni and PrO x species have been discussed. The surface properties and structure of catalysts were examined by TEM, XRD, XPS, H 2 -TPR, H 2 -TPD, in-situ DRIFTS, etc. The presence of PrO x species promotes the reaction rate and changes product selectivity significantly, and a 79.2% 1,5-pentanediol selectivity can be obtained at 88.4% conversion over the NiPr 1.2 /Al 2 O 3 catalyst. The synergistic effect between defect-rich PrO x and the adjacent active Ni species has been confirmed to contribute to the superior catalytic performances. These results provide useful knowledge for the activation of cyclic ether bonds and the design of heterogeneous catalysts with lanthanide oxide supports.

The construction of high-performance sensitive materials is a basis for excellent sensors. Among prior SnS 2 -based sensors, high sensing performance often accompanies high operating temperatures or expensive costs, which limits their practical use. Herein, we employed Sr doping and NaBH 4 treatment strategies to increase the S-vacancies content in the SnS 2 microflowers. Particularly, this composite sensitive material shows large specific surface area, low crystallinity and rich S-vacancies content, which enables this sensor excellent sensing properties toward NO 2 , with a response of 4.7 toward 5 ppm NO 2 at 100 °C. In addition, this sensor has a low detection limit for NO 2 as low as 0.2 ppm, which is a lower value compared to many SnS 2 -based NO 2 sensors as reported. XRD, SEM, TEM, EPR and BET characterization combined with density functional theory (DFT) calculations are adopted to illustrate the enhancement mechanism toward NO 2 of the composite sensitive materials fabricated in this work. This study provides new ideas and scientific basis for the construction of metal sulfide based NO 2 sensors, which has important theoretical significance and application value.

Pt-loaded curling-like Bi 2 WO 6 (BWO) microdiscs were fabricated via a simple one-step hydrothermal and impregnation route. Various characterization methods, such as XRD, EDS and TEM, were conducted to prove the successful Pt loading. Electron migration from the semiconductor BWO to the precious metal Pt was revealed by the blue shift of the Bi 4f and W 4f XPS peaks with the increase of the Pt loading amount and the ∼10-fold baseline resistance elevation of the BWO-based sensor by the Pt loading, proving the formation of Schottky junction. Among the pristine BWO and Pt-loaded BWO with different Pt loading amounts, 1 wt % Pt-loaded BWO exhibits the highest gas response of 209 in sensing 500 ppm triethylamine at 300 °C, a minimal selectivity coefficient of 130.6 against some typical interfering gases at the same concentration and a low detection threshold of 1 ppm. Additionally, the sensitization mechanism is discussed as the synergistic effect of noble metal catalytic effect and metal-semiconductor junctions.
