The electrodeposition of eosin Y (EY) on graphene oxide (GO) modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE) was performed and the modified platform applied for the simultaneous determination of dopamine (DA) and epinephrine (EP). The EY/GO modified GCE was characterized using electrochemical impedance spectra. The modified electrode exhibited excellent electroanalytical performance for DA and EP by cyclic voltammetry due to the synergistic effect of the good electrical conductivity of GO and electrochemical activity of EY. The linear responses were found by differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) between 0.2 and 100 μM concentration range for DA and EP, with detection limits of 50 nM for DA and 30 nM for EP (S/N = 3), respectively. Further experiments were investigated for electrode selectivity, stability and reproducibility. In addition, in order to evaluate electrochemical activities for this proposed electrode, the simultaneous determination of DA and EP at EY/GO/GCE was explored in diluted human urine samples.

The rapid detection of rare earth elements is crucial in various fields, such as materials science, biomedicine, and water quality assessment . However, no studies have reported on the detection of yttrium (Y) using electrochemical sensor-based devices. In this study, we present an innovative method for detecting Y(III) ions in aquatic environments using an electroanalytical detection platform. We have developed a complexation catalytic method that integrates trans-1,2-cyclohexanediaminetetraacetic acid (CyDTA) and silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs), thereby enhancing the adsorption and electrochemical response of Y(III) ions. The modified electrode demonstrates an 18-fold increase in the response signal of the Y(III) reduction peak compared to the bare LIG electrode. To elucidate the electrocatalytic mechanism, we conducted various interface characterization methods and DFT simulations. The Ag-CyDTA/LIG electrode exhibits excellent detection performance, with a broad linear dynamic range of 1 × 10 −6 to 0.01 g/L and an exceptionally low detection limit of 0.02 μg/L. Significantly, we successfully employed the electrochemical sensing platform to analyze real water samples from rare earth ore, marking the first report on the voltammetric detection of Y(III) ions in real water samples using a flexible electrode. These findings offer a promising technical solution for the practical detection of Y(III) ions.

The inhibition mechanism of four inhibitors with different charge on Mg-Gd-Y alloy was investigated experimentally and theoretically. The different charge of inhibitor evoked the preferential adsorption behavior, changing the susceptibility of Mg-Gd-Y alloy to micro-galvanic corrosion. Moreover, the adsorption of inhibitor changed the surface energy of embryos of corrosion product, and strongly suppressed the nucleation rate of corrosion product, leading to poor protective performance. Thus, the inhibitor with anion, exhibiting satisfactory inhibition efficiency for AZ/AM series alloys, showed worse inhibition for the Mg-Gd-Y alloy. Finally, the strategy to select and/or synthesize inhibitors for Mg-RE alloys was presented.

High hydroxide conductivity and sufficient dimensional/alkaline/mechanical stability are highly desired for practical applications of anion exchange membranes (AEMs). Herein, a new di -quaternized side-chain precursor (EDQA) was firstly designed and synthesized. Then novel AEMs (DBTF-4QA-x) based on poly(fluorenylene alkylene)s containing dual Y-shaped side-chains were prepared from EDQA by an efficient click reaction. Benefiting from several structural advantages of EDQA, DBTF-4QA-x membranes possessed high hydroxide conductivities up to 154.8 mS cm −1 at 80 °C, while maintained high dimensional stability. The membranes exhibited robust mechanical properties with tensile strengths and elongation at break up to 107.4 MPa and 46.4%, respectively. Furthermore, the membranes showed high alkaline stability with the conductivity loss below 11.4% after immersing in 4 M aq. NaOH at 80 °C for 40 days. In addition, DBTF-4QA-0.5 membrane achieved the maximum peak power density of 836.4 mW cm −2 in H 2 /O 2 fuel cells at 60 °C.

High-entropy rare earth phosphates (HE REPO 4 , RE = Ho, Tm, Yb, Lu, Dy, Er and Y) with xenotime structure have been successfully synthesized and comprehensively characterized to evaluate their feasibility as thermal/environmental barrier coatings (T/EBCs) applied in SiC f /SiC ceramic matrix composites (SiC-CMCs). HE REPO 4 show good chemical compatibility with SiO 2 at 1400 °C and excellent high-temperature stability up to 1750 °C. The thermal expansion coefficient (TEC) of HE (6RE 1/6 )PO 4 is 5.9 × 10 −6 /°C ranging from room temperature to 900 °C, which is close to that of SiC-CMCs. Compared with single-component REPO 4 , the thermal conductivity of HE (6RE 1/6 )PO 4 (from 5.1 W·m −1 ·K −1 at 100 °C to 2.8 W·m −1 ·K −1 at 1300 °C) is significantly reduced benefiting from larger lattice distortion. These allow HE REPO 4 to be a potential candidate as T/EBCs applied in SiC-CMCs.

Zircon is important ceramic used widely due to its excellent properties, in particular for nuclear waste immobilization . However, it is difficult to obtain mono-phase zircon with high yield, usually result in double-phase ZrO 2 /ZrSiO 4 ceramics. Herein, Ce-doped double-phase 0.2Zr 1- x Ce x O 2 /Zr 1- y Ce y SiO 4 (0 ≤ x + y ≤ 1) ceramics were fabricated and their phase and microstructure evolution were studied. The results demonstrated that Ce content has great influence on the phase composition and microstructure. The ceramics with 0 ≤ x + y < 0.1 are tetragonal-ZrSiO 4 , monoclinic-ZrO 2 and tetragonal-ZrO 2 phases, with 0.1 ≤ x + y ≤ 0.3 are tetragonal-ZrSiO 4 , monoclinic-ZrO 2 , tetragonal-ZrO 2 and cubic-ZrO 2 phases, with 0.3 < x + y ≤ 0.6 are tetragonal-ZrSiO 4 , tetragonal-ZrO 2 and cubic-ZrO 2 phases, and with 0.6 < x + y ≤ 1 are cubic-ZrO 2 and Ce 2 Si 2 O 7 phases. With increasing Ce-doping content, the ZrSiO 4 retained the tetragonal phase, while ZrO 2 transformed from monoclinic to stable cubic phase. Furthermore, lattice parameters , grain size and compactness increased with increasing Ce content.

In this work, RENbO 4 (RE = Y, La, Nd, Sm, Gd, Dy, Yb) ceramics with low density, low Young's modulus, low thermal conductivity, and high thermal expansion have been systematically investigated, the excellent thermo-mechanical properties indicate that RENbO 4 ceramics possess the potential as the new generation of thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) materials. X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy phase structure identification reveal that all dense bulk specimens obtained by high-temperature solid-state reaction belonged to the monoclinic (m) phase with C12/c1 space group. The ferroelastic domains are detected in the specimens, revealing the ferroelastic transformation between tetragonal (t) and monoclinic (m) phases of RENbO 4 ceramics. The Young's modulus and hardness of the RENbO 4 ceramics measured by the NanoBlitz 3D nanoindentation method are discussed in details, and the lower Young's modulus (60-170 GPa) and higher hardness (the maximum value reaches 11.48 GPa) indicating that higher resistance of RENbO 4 ceramics to failure and damage. Lower thermal conductivity (1.42-2.21 W [m k] −1 at 500°C-900°C) and lower density (5.330-7.400 g/cm 3 ) than other typical TBCs materials give RENbO 4 ceramics the unique advantage of being new TBCs materials. Meanwhile, the thermal expansion coefficients of RENbO 4 ceramics reach 9.8-11.6 × 10 −6 k −1 and are comparable or higher than other typical TBCs materials. According to the first-order derivative of the thermal expansion rate, the temperature of the ferroelastic transformation of RENbO 4 ceramics can be observed.

The M-modified TiO 2 nanotubes (NTs) (M = Ce, Ga, Co, Y, 2.0 wt%) were synthesized by combining sol-gel method with hydrothermal treatment, based on which gold was loaded by the deposition–precipitation approach. These catalysts were loaded with 1.5 wt% gold and calcined at 300 °C, and their catalytic performance was compared with Au/TiO 2 NTs in CO oxidation. TEM results manifested Au/M-TiO 2 NTs (M = Ce, Ga, Co, Y) had smaller gold nanoparticles than Au/TiO 2 NTs. Patterns of XPS revealed the presence of the strong interaction between gold and support in Au/M-TiO 2 NTs (M = Ce, Ga, Co, Y). Ce 4+ , Ga 3+ , Co 2+ , and Y 3+ ions were present as CeO 2 , Ga 2 O 3 , CoO, and Y 2 O 3 in Au/M-TiO 2 NTs (M = Ce, Ga, Co, Y), respectively. Based on O 2 -TPD studies, Au/M-TiO 2 NTs (M = Ce, Ga, Co, Y) provided new O 2 adsorption sites for the adsorption and activation of oxygen in CO oxidation. M (M = Ce, Ga, Co, Y) modifying performed the positive effect on CO oxidation activity and Au/Y-TiO 2 NTs showed the highest activity among these catalysts. Additionally, Au/Y-TiO 2 NTs also performed excellent high-temperature stability. It was likely that the strong interaction between gold and support created the small size of gold nanoparticles, large O 2 adsorption and plenty of defects, thereby enhancing the catalytic activity of Au/M-TiO 2 NTs (M = Ce, Ga, Co, Y).

In this study, a Y-shaped amphiphilic block copolymer consisting of hydrophilic poly(ethylene glycol) (mPEG) and two poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) as the hydrophobic arms with a ketal linker was synthesized (mPEG-Ketal-(PCL) 2 ). The structure of the copolymer with different compositions was characterized by 1 H NMR, gel permeation chromatography (GPC) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The amphiphilic property endows the copolymer with the ability to be self-assembled into micelles for encapsulating anticancer drug doxorubicin (DOX), and the effect of copolymer with different PCL length on drug loading properties were tested. The morphology, size, pH responsiveness, drug release profile and in vitro anticancer activity of the DOX loaded micelles were also studied. In vitro drug release studies showed that over 50% of the DOX was released at pH 5.0 in 24 h because of hydrolysis of ketal linker in the copolymers. The confocal laser microscopy and flow cytometry experiments showed that the DOX-loaded micelles could be effectively internalized by Hela cells, the ketal bond in the backbone was broken in acid endo/lysosomal compartments and triggered the fast release of DOX. The in vitro antitumor efficacy of the DOX loaded mPEG-Ketal-(PCL) 2 micelles was better than that of non-pH sensitive ones. In vivo studies showed that the mPEG-Ketal-(PCL) 2 micelles enhanced the DOX blood circulation time and had good tumor-targeting efficiency.

Zr 1− x − y Ce x Nd y O 2− y/ 2 ceramics, which were designed as waste form materials, were obtained by simultaneous substitution of Ce 4+ and Nd 3+ for Zr 4+ in ZrO 2 . The influences of the simultaneous substitution of Ce and Nd on phase transformation of ZrO 2 were investigated systematically. Also, the aqueous durability of the ceramics was evaluated. The results show that the phase transformation caused by the simultaneous substitution mainly relates to the total content of Ce and Nd. The ZrO 2 ceramics containing Ce + Nd < 30 mol% exhibit both monoclinic and cubic phases, while the ceramics containing Ce + Nd ≥ 30 mol% are cubic phase. And the cubic phase can be stabilized by incorporating 30 mol% Ce + Nd. Moreover, LR i are modified by the incorporation of Ce and Nd, because of the presence of oxygen vacancies . The Nd and Ce co-doped zirconia waste form exhibit excellent aqueous durability (∼10 −5 g m −2 d −1 ).

Zeolite Y nanoparticle assemblies (Y-NA) with a mesoporous structure were directly synthesized at 75 °C for 16 h without adding any organic templates. The changes in structure, morphology and textural parameters of the materials obtained after different crystallization times were investigated via powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), infrared spectroscopy (IR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and N2-sorption. The results show that Y-NA had a micro–mesoporous structure composed of highly crystalline particle assemblies with sizes of 400–900 nm. The H-form Y-NA (HY-NA) is strongly acidic, and exhibits a good catalytic performance in the Ritter reaction, as compared with the H-form microporous zeolite Y and mesoporous zeolite ZSM-5.

Y 2 O 3 is a cost-effective and environmentally friendly wide-band gap photocatalyst with extensive application potential. However, its limited ability to be excited by visible light restricts its practical uses. In this study, we coupled the narrow bandgap semiconductor AgI with Y 2 O 3 to form a Z-scheme heterostructure , significantly promoting its photocatalytic degradation activity. Characterization and experimental results demonstrated the formation of Y-O-Ag bonds through coupling with AgI, leading to an increase in oxygen vacancies in Y 2 O 3 , which promotes the chemisorption of H 2 O and O 2 . The Y-O-Ag bond introduction promotes electron transfer , improves hole utilization, and boosts energy transfer efficiency, thus promoting the efficient generation of ·OH and 1 O 2 . The photocatalytic degradation rates of RhB and o-nitrophenol by 7.5% AgI/Y 2 O 3 were 26.5 and 4 times higher than those of pure Y 2 O 3 , respectively. This study provides theoretical support for the Z-scheme heterojunction to improve photocatalytic activity and offers efficient solutions and practical design ideas for sewage purification.
