Surface-functionalized magnetic nanoparticles were prepared by a facile one-pot solvothermal method in ethylene glycol solution. Zeta value, size, and magnetic properties could be well tuned by introducing different functional group molecules. Characterizations, including transmission electronic microscopy, scanning electronic microscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, x-ray powder diffraction and vibrating sample magnetometer, and Fourier transform infrared spectrophotometer demonstrated the efficiency of this simple and general synthesis strategy. The hydrophilic magnetic nanoparticles with various surface functional groups and zeta values were evidenced as excellent candidates for bioseparation by extracting DNA molecules from a model mixture of cell fractures.

Flower-like Bi 2 Sn 2 O 7 /Bi 2 WO 6 hierarchical composites with Bi 2 Sn 2 O 7 nanoparticles on Bi 2 WO 6 nanosheet by different Bi 2 Sn 2 O 7 contents were synthesized via a facile two-step hydrothermal method . The composite of Bi 2 Sn 2 O 7 /Bi 2 WO 6 exhibits higher photocatalytic activity toward Rhodamine B (RhB) under visible light than pristine Bi 2 WO 6 and Bi 2 Sn 2 O 7 . Comparatively, 7% Bi 2 Sn 2 O 7 /Bi 2 WO 6 showed the highest photocatalytic activity owing to the best separation efficiency of photogenerated charges. The role of the active species in the process of the degradation is evaluated by using different types of active species scavengers which revealed that the holes ( h + ) and hydroxyl radicals ( OH) were the main active species responsible for the photodegradation of RhB. The photocatalytic mechanism is further proposed based on impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and the calculated energy bands by Mott-Schottky plot, which unfolds the charge transfer and the active species formed in the photocatalytic process. Furthermore, the as-obtained photocatalysts showed good photocatalytic activity after three recycles.

Traditional FIR (fluorescence intensity ratio)-based optical thermometers, requiring narrow energy gap between two thermally coupled states (TCS) of single rare-earth ion, have inherent drawbacks including low signal discriminability and large measuring error. To overcome the intrinsic limitation, a new thermometry strategy involving the usage of dual-emitting activators with diverse temperature-dependent emission behaviours has been proposed. Impressively, β-NaYF 4 :Ce 3+ /Tb 3+ phosphor exhibits good temperature sensing performance, excellent signal discriminability and superior thermal stability by using the linearly temperature-dependent FIR between Ce 3+ and Tb 3+ as detecting parameter. Hopefully, the developed dual-emitting sample could have a promising application in self-calibrated luminescent thermometry and this strategy provides a reference for developing high-performance optical thermometers.

Multi-wall carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were modified by nano-TiC using a pressureless spark plasma sintering technology. The TiC-modified CNTs (T-CNTs) were added to mesocarbon microbeads (MCMBs) to prepare high performance isostatically pressed graphite materials. The structures of the T-CNTs and the prepared isotropic graphite materials were characterized by XRD, SEM and TEM. The mechanical and thermal properties of isotropic graphite reinforced by T-CNTs were measured by a micro-controlled electronic universal testing machine, laser thermal conductivity meter and thermal expansion coefficient meter. Results showed that the nano-TiC was successfully grown on the surface of CNTs. Compared with the isotropic graphite prepared from MCMBs without T-CNTs, the isotropic graphite with T-CNTs has a significant improvement in physical properties (density, open porosity and volume shrinkage). Its flexural strength and degree of graphitization increased by 70% and 10%, respectively, and the thermal properties were also improved to some degree.

A simple and effective method for preparing ThO 2 ceramics with high density has been proposed. It mainly includes a positive precipitation approach and a conventional sintering process. The SEM images and laser particle size analysis show that the prepared powder exhibits a round-plated shape with a uniform and narrow particle size distribution, which is the key to the densification sintering of ThO 2 ceramics. The XRD analyses confirm that the ThO 2 ceramics sintered at 1590°C were composed of cubic fluorite phase. The effect of sintering temperature on the density of ThO 2 ceramics was also investigated, and a relative density higher than 95% were achieved after sintering at 1590°C for 6 h in an air atmosphere. Moreover, the Vickers hardness was up to 8.49 GPa, the average linear expansion coefficient within 40–800°C was low to 10.97 × 10 −6 /K, and the thermal conductivity and the thermal diffusivity were both higher than most of traditional ceramic materials (16.94–5.86 W/m K and 7.28–1.28 mm 2 /s, respectively, within the temperature range of 25–800°C). The previous great performances are closely related to its high density, which enables it to be a great candidate for nuclear fuels and other potential application fields.

Amine functionalized mesoporous silica MSU-J with 3-D connective channel is employed as an effective absorbent for CO 2 . CO 2 adsorption measurements were conducted by gravimetry to investigate the effects of (i) framework structure, (ii) mesoporous structure, (iii) the type of organic amine, (iV) hydrolyzation treatment, (V) cycle performance. Comparing with tetraethylenepentamine (TEPA) functionalized SBA-15, TEPA functionalized MSU-J has lower gas diffusion resistance. The CO 2 uptake of 25MSU-J is 139.6 mg·g −1 , which is almost 2.5 times than that of SBA-15 of 58 mg·g −1 at 20 wt% TEPA loading. The different textured MSU-J is synthesized at 25 °C, 45 °C, 65 °C and impregnated with TEPA. 65MSU-J synthesized at 65 °C exhibits the larger pore size (16.2 nm) and CO 2 adsorption capacity due to pore size instead of larger specific surface area is more feasible for CO 2 diffusion. The MSU-J is impregnated with tetraethylenepentamine (TEPA), diethylenetriamine (DETA), triethylenetetramine (TETA). TEPA impregnated MSU-J possesses higher thermostability (200 °C) and CO 2 capture (164 mg·g −1 ) than counterparts, due to higher N content and the stronger combination between support and amine. The regeneration of Si OH from Si O Si effectively improves the CO 2 adsorption capacity. Both MSU-J and hydrolyzing MSU-J exhibit good cycle performance of CO 2 capture after 6 times cycle.

Self-lubricating composite with stimuli-responsive properties attracts great interest in recent years. Herein, mesoporous silica (MS) as oil-laden containers is explored to achieve self-lubricating feature. The as-prepared MS possesses a high Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area (1,542.35 m 2 /g), which satisfies the criterion for construction of ideal repository for storing enough liquid lubricants. In addition, the thermal stimuli-responsiveness behavior of the oil-laden mesoporous silica (OMS) for lubrication has been investigated by thermogravimetric analyzer tester. As expected, an excellent tribological performance (friction coefficient and wear rate decreased by 63.29 and 82.63%) is obtained by adding 10 wt% OMS into the polyurathene matrix, showing great promise for self-lubricating application.

A facile solvothermal method has been developed to synthesize Gd 2 Zr 2 O 7 nanopowders with well-controlled particle size and dispersion. The nanopowders were consolidated into dense ceramic pellets by pressureless sintering, and effects of the solvothermal method in microstructure control are demonstrated by comparison with conventional precipitation approach. X-ray diffraction, electron microscopy , gas adsorption, and a standard operating procedure (SOP) in Malvern Instruments were employed to investigate crystallite/grain sizes and structural morphology evolutions of nanopowders and ceramics. Well-crystallized Gd 2 Zr 2 O 7 nanopowders with little agglomeration and narrow size distribution synthesized by this method have an average crystallite size of 3.5 nm and high surface area of 162 m 2 /g. This method also allows the formation of homogeneous and dense Gd 2 Zr 2 O 7 ceramic with bulk density over 94% of the theoretical value achieved after sintering at 1500 °C for 6 h.

Sorption-based atmospheric water harvesting (SAWH) is promising for addressing water scarcity due to its wide global applicability. However, given their weak heat and mass transfer properties, most existing SAWH systems remain uncompetitive in fresh water production in most practical scenarios. Here, we present a modular water harvester (MWH) with a serial modular design to achieve advanced heat and mass management. The device can perform sorption kinetics without any power equipment, reduce heat radiation to semi-decouple the desorption and condensation process, and induce thermal buoyancy to enhance water vapor transport via the chimney effect. The MWH reports 3.78 kg m −2 day −1 and 1.66 kg kg −1 sorbent day −1 of water productivity outdoors, which is the highest yield among reported passive SAWH devices.

Cobalt oxide is a very promising material for supercapacitor with high theoretical specific capacitance . However, its poor cyclability resulting from the faradaic pseudocapacitive characteristics restricts its application. In this study, we employ an efficient strategy by introducing in-situ reduced graphene oxide to establish a porous conductive network for electron and ion transporting. A series composites of cobalt oxide nanowires supported on reduced graphene oxide are successfully synthesized with the assistance of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide by a facile hydrothermal method . The as-prepared composites are investigated by X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy , X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy , Nitrogen physisorption , Scanning electron microscopy and Transmission electron microscopy , as well as electrochemical analysis in a three-electrode system. Remarkably, the composite exhibits a maximum specific capacitance of 531 F g −1 at a 0.1 A g −1 current density accompanying a 64% capacitance retention after 2000 cycles at a high current density of 10 A g −1 .

SrHfO 3 :Ce and SrHfO 3 :Ce,Al powders were prepared by the solid-state synthesis using the commercial HfO 2 , SrCO 3 , CeO 2 and α-Al 2 O 3 as the starting materials. All the SrHfO 3 :Ce and SrHfO 3 :Ce,Al powders calcined at different temperatures within 1100 °C–1300 °C for 8 h in air exhibited a pure SrHfO 3 phase. Meanwhile, the effects of different calcination temperatures and co-doped alumina on the microstructure of SrHfO 3 :Ce,Al powders were discussed. SrHfO 3 :Ce and SrHfO 3 :Ce,Al ceramics were successfully fabricated via the vacuum sintering at 1800 °C for 20 h. The alumina acted as the sintering aid, which promoted the densification and eliminated the intragranular pores of SrHfO 3 :Ce,Al ceramics. The charge disbalance was effectively compensated by co-doped alumina. SrHfO 3 :Ce,Al ceramics exhibited a higher light yield of 5700 ph/MeV compared with 4600 ph/MeV obtained in SrHfO 3 :Ce ceramics. The charge traps in ceramics and their effects on scintillation properties were also investigated by thermoluminescence measurement.

Graphene has great potential to significantly enhance the electrochemical activity of redox-active materials for supercapacitors. However, the agglomeration of graphene sheets remains a critical challenge to excellent energy storage performance of hybrid composites supported by graphene. Herein, a facile hydrothermal approach for the synthesis of porous Ni2CO3(OH)2/functionalized graphene (NCB/FGN) composites is developed. To improve the dispersion properties of graphene, sulfonated salicylic acid serving as a functionalized composition is covalently anchored to the surface of functionalized graphene. The systematic investigation indicates that the presence of functionalized graphene plays a crucial role in establishing the porous structure of hybrid composites. Compared to reduced graphene oxide (rGO), functionalized graphene is more beneficial to accommodate the expansion of the surface area and the reduction of the pore length in hybrid composites. The detailed electrochemical characterization demonstrates that the unique porous structure of NCB/FGN composites encompasses the great capability of rapid kinetic diffusion of active ions in electrolytes during the electrochemical reaction. The specific capacitance of NCB/FGN composites is 1508 F g−1 at a current density of 1 A g−1, higher than 1258 F g−1 for NCB/rGO composites and 1039 F g−1 for pristine NCB. After 3000 charge–discharge cycles at a current density of 10 A g−1, the specific capacitance of NCB/FGN composites still approaches their initial capacitance.
