The recycling of phosphate from wastewater using regenerable and highly efficient MgO-modified biochar for Mg-P fertilizer application is of great interest. However, the practical application of MgO-modified biochar for the removal and recycling of phosphate is hindered by its short-recycled service-life. Herein, a facile yet scalable method is proposed to fabricate porous MgO nanofiber-functionalized biochar (PMgNF-BC) with enhanced phosphate adsorption and regeneration performances from wastewater using waste biomass and magnesite. The as-prepared PMgNF-BC exhibited the maximum phosphate adsorption capacities of 594.53, 661.57, and 725.43 mg/g at 298.15 K, 308.15 K and 318.15 K, respectively. More importantly, PMgNF-BC demonstrated excellent regeneration performance with the removal efficiency of 84.2 % after eight regeneration cycles. Furthermore, the regenerated PMgNF-BC exhibited the well-preserved fiber shape of MgO on BC, enabling splendid regeneration performance. This work validates PMgNF-BC as a sustainable adsorbent for recycling phosphorus from wastewater, addressing the urgent need for synthesizing biochar with high regeneration performance.

Large quantities of MgO materials have been obtained by roasting waste magnesite. Compared with the traditional MgO synthesis method, the preparation method in this paper is simple, inexpensive, environmentally friendly, and can be produced on a large scale. XRD and XPS results show that the main component of the magnesite roasted product is MgO. The SEM results show that after hydration treatment and secondary roasting, the morphology of MgO changed from granular to flower-like. XRD and XPS before and after the reaction showed that a hydration reaction (Mg(OH) 2 ) could take place when MgO activates PMS. The activity results showed that MgO was able to remove 96 % of the doxycycline within 30 min, which was significantly higher than that of the conventional MOF materials and comparable to the ZIF-67 activity of the cobalt-based MOF materials. In addition, MgO has superior catalytic activity for Congo red (90.59 %), methyl orange (40.04 %), and tetracycline (98.85 %). Quenching experiments revealed 1 O 2 as the main active species. The material has good potential for practical applications as shown by anion interference experiments, pH and cycling experiments. The optimum reaction condition is when the MgO content is 0.6 g/L and the PMS content is 0.6 g/L.

In this study, CaO–Al 2 O 3 –MgO–SiO 2 glass was utilized to join SiC after surface polishing and etching, without the application of pressure. To join polished SiC at 1250 °C using CaO–Al 2 O 3 –MgO–SiO 2 glass proved unsuccessful. However, when polished SiC was joined at 1350 °C, the joint shear strength was 108.0 ± 15.5 MPa. Etching polished SiC with a NaOH–K 3 [Fe(CN) 6 ] solution effectively removed surface carbon, resulting in numerous micro-pits, that increased the joining area and improved the wettability of CaO–Al 2 O 3 –MgO–SiO 2 glass. The joint strengths of etched SiC joined at 1250 °C and 1350 °C were 29.0 ± 11.6 MPa and 125.1 ± 19.6 MPa, respectively. After ablation at 1200 °C for 10 min, the retained strength of the etched joints (joined at 1350 °C) was 61.9 ± 4.0 MPa, whereas the strength of the polished joints decreased to only 36.6 ± 10.7 MPa. Surface etching demonstrates the potential to significantly enhance the strength and high-temperature resistance of SiC joints.

The lack of detailed functions of different REMs in NH 3 decomposition to H 2 makes the efficient modified catalysts not rationally be designed though many REMs-modified catalysts have been reported. In this work, the 10Ni/A 1 Mg 4 O α (A = La, Ce, and Y) and 10Ni/MgO, in which supports were synthesized by the sol–gel method and Ni was loaded by the wet-impregnate method, were comparatively investigated to reveal the effect of REMs against NH 3 decomposition reaction. The presence of REMs enhanced the activity of 10Ni/A 1 Mg 4 O α and decreased the activation energy as greatly as by half compared to 10Ni/MgO. The produced H 2 in situ has little impact on the activity of 10Ni/A 1 Mg 4 O α , among which Ce has the most excellent H 2 desorption ability. The intrinsic activity of catalysts was improved better by Ce and Y than La and the best Ni particle size is around 6 nm according to TOF, though the Ni particle is the smallest (4.9 nm) in 10Ni/La 1 Mg 4 O α . The surface structure of catalysts was tuned by doping REMs, forming a solid solution and some defects (oxygen vacancies), which enhanced the interaction between active metal and support with obvious electron transfer from support to Ni obtaining a better Ni dispersion and making NiO easier to be reduced. Additionally, the catalysts doped by La or Ce possess more oxygen vacancy due to the changes of La 2 O 2 CO 3 and the valence of Ce, exhibiting stronger basic sites and better N 2 desorption capacity. The study offers a promising strategy for utilizing appropriate or multiple REMs to synthesize effective catalysts effectively for catalyzing NH 3 decomposition in the future.

Owing to the unpredictable size of wounds and irregular edges formed by trauma, nanofibers' highly customizable and adherent in situ deposition can contribute to intervention in the healing process. However, electrospinning is limited by the constraints of conventional polymeric materials despite its potential for anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties. Here, inspired by the Janus structure and biochemistry of nanometal ions, we developed an in situ sprayed electrospinning method to overcome bacterial infections and immune imbalances during wound healing. The bilayer fiber scaffold has a hydrophobic outer layer composed of polycaprolactone (PCL) and a hydrophilic inner layer composed of gelatin, poly (L-lactic acid) (PLLA), and magnesium oxide nanoparticles (MgO NPs), constituting the PCL/PLLA-Gelatin-MgO (PPGM) electrospun scaffold. This electrospun scaffold blocked the colonization and growth of bacteria and remained stable on the wound for continuous anti-inflammatory properties to promote wound healing. Furthermore, PPGM electrospinning modulated collagen deposition and the inflammatory microenvironment in the full-thickness skin model, significantly accelerating vascularization and epithelialization progression. This personalized Janus electrospun scaffold has excellent potential as a new type of wound dressing for first aid and wound healthcare.

Due to the low powder content characteristic of digital light processing in the preparation of ceramic green bodies, significant challenges arise in obtaining high-density, high-performance Si 3 N 4 ceramic. Sintering aids exert a critical influence on the densification and properties of Si 3 N 4 ceramics. To further improve the performance of 3D-printed Si 3 N 4 ceramics, Si 3 N 4 ceramics were fabricated using DLP technology combined with gas pressure sintering employing different ratios of La 2 O 3 -MgO as sintering aids. The ceramic slurries, microstructures, and ceramic performance were studied systematically. The results showed that increasing the proportion of· La 2 O 3 powder enhanced the rheological and curing properties of Si 3 N 4 ceramic slurries. Varying the La 2 O 3 -MgO ratio affected the composition of the liquid phase, leading to differences in the densification and grain growth of Si 3 N 4 ceramics. The average grain size increased with higher ratios of La 2 O 3 -MgO, and reached a maximum value of 0.91 μm with a ratio of 9:1. With the increase of the La 2 O 3 -MgO ratio, the bulk density and shrinkage rate of the ceramics initially increased and then declined. In addition, the flexural strength and fracture toughness of the ceramics peaked at a ratio of 3:7 for La 2 O 3 -MgO, measuring 577 ± 16.28 MPa and 5.84 ± 0.17 MPa m 1/2 , respectively. These results demonstrate that high-performance Si 3 N 4 ceramics can be effectively prepared using DLP technology by adapting the ratio of sintering additives.

As for wound drug delivery, microneedles (MNs) have attracted wide attention. However, while effective at increasing the depth of drug delivery, traditional MNs often have limited drug loads and have difficulty penetrating scabs on wounds. Herein, we develop a drug delivery system combining MgO@polydopamine (MgO@PDA) nanoparticle-loaded photothermal MN patches and chitosan (CS) gel to inhibit the formation of scabs and deliver sufficient drugs into deep tissue. When inserted into the wound, the MN system can keep the wound bed moist and weakly acidic to inhibit the formation of scabs and accelerate wound closure. The released MgO@PDA nanoparticles from both the tips and the backing layer, which immensely increase the drug load, continuously release Mg2+ in the moist, weakly acidic wound bed, promoting tissue migration and the formation of microvessels. MgO@PDA nanoparticles show excellent antibacterial activity under near-infrared irradiation synergized with the CS gel, and the PDA coating can also overcome the adverse effects of oxidative stress. Through in vitro and in vivo experiments, the MN system showed remarkable antibacterial, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and pro-angiogenic effects, indicating its potential in the treatment of infectious wounds.

A novel photoelectrocatalytic (PEC) system consisting of S-scheme MgO/g-C 3 N 4 photoanode and modified carbon felt (MCF) cathode was designed for efficient degradation of tetracycline , in which photoanode had both efficient photocatalytic performance and activation of H 2 O 2 produced by the MCF cathode. After 30 min of LED irradiation, the PEC system could completely remove tetracycline at cathodic bias of −0.5 V (vs. Ag/AgCl), and the degradation rate constants were 5.3 and 1.5 times that of electrocatalysis and photocatalysis . The charge transfer mechanism of S-scheme MgO/g-C 3 N 4 was verified by experimental studies and DFT calculations. Mg-N coordination was the key to activate H 2 O 2 to produce singlet oxygen ( 1 O 2 ) and hydroxyl radicals ( • OH). The PEC system had excellent degradation performance at pH ranges 4–10, which solved the bottleneck that Fenton system is effective at narrow pH range. This study provides new ideas for preparation of bifunctional photoanodes and new insights into the PEC process.

The intermetallic PtBi/MgO/Mg monolithic catalyst was first prepared using non-equilibrium plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) technology. Spherical aberration-corrected transmission electron microscope (ACTEM) observation confirms the successful synthesis of the PtBi intermetallic structure. The efficiency of PtBi/Mg/MgO catalysts in catalyzing the reduction of 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) to 4-aminophenol (4-AP) in the presence of NaBH4was demonstrated. The activity factor for the catalyst is 31.8 s−1g−1, which is much higher than reported values. In addition, the resultant catalyst also exhibits excellent catalytic activity in the organic pollutant reaction of p-nitrobenzoic acid (p-NBA) and methyl orange (MO). Moreover, benefiting from ordered atomic structures and the half-embedded PtBi nanoparticles (NPs), the catalyst demonstrates excellent stability and reproducibility in the degradation of 4-NP. This study provides an example of a simple method for the preparation of intermetallic structures as catalysts for organic pollutant degradation.

MgO’s great potential for capturing CO 2 has drawn a lot of attention, but the limited O 2– sites prevents its further development. This work proposed a microwave-induced method (microwave hydrothermal and microwave sintering) to produce high-performance MgO CO 2 adsorbent and was further modified using carbonates (K 2 CO 3 ) and nitrates of alkali metals (NaNO 3 , KNO 3 ). The outcomes demonstrated that the small particle size MgO nanocrystals (6.20 nm) with a CO 2 uptake of 1.8 mmol·g −1 could be produced by a unique method of microwave heating from the inside out. Among the modified samples, addition of 20 mol% NaNO 3 on the surface of MgO exhibited the highest CO 2 uptake (11.91 mmol·g −1 ), and the uptake was still 7.9 mmol·g −1 after 10 cycles. The addition of molten salt changed the adsorbent’s active sites, resulting in an increase in O 2– alkaline sites and the activation of MgO lattice defects, both of which improved the sample’s CO 2 adsorption performance. This work could offer a new idea for creating affordable and effective CO 2 solid adsorbents to capture CO 2 .

Mg 2.2- x Co x TiO 4 (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.6) and Mg 2.2- x Cr x TiO 4 (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.6) solid solutions with spinel structure were successfully synthesized by solid-phase reaction. Excess MgO was added to achieve the single phase of the compounds. The transition metal ions Co/Cr tune the colors of Mg 2 TiO 4 to intense blue and green, respectively. The root of the observed intense blue color of Mg 2.2- x Co x TiO 4 is attributed to the 4 A 2 (F) → 4 T 1 (P) transition of Co 2+ in tetrahedral coordination. In Cr doped Mg 2 TiO 4 , Cr exists in a mixed oxidation states of +3 and + 6. The green color of the as-synthesized Mg 2.2- x Cr x TiO 4 is attributed to 4 A 2 (F) → 4 T 1 (F) at 410 nm–500 nm and 4 A 2 (F) → 4 T 2 (F) at 610 nm transitions of Cr 3+ . Besides, the Cr 3+ - Ti 4+ charge-transfer transition at 410 nm–500 nm is also the reason why it shows green. The as-synthesized pigments were dispersed into PMMA to prepare blue/green plastics.

Calcium looping, a promising high-temperature CO2 capture technique, offers a mid-term economic solution to mitigate anthropogenic CO2 emissions. The main challenge in calcium looping is the synthesis of highly efficient CaO-based sorbents that can be used over many reaction cycles. Here, a sacrificial N-doped carbon nanosheet template was developed which produces MgO-stabilized CaO sorbents with fast adsorption rates, high capacities and remarkable long-term performance over many cycles. The characterization results show that such a template was formed through in situ pyrolysis of an organic acid and nitrates in a simple heating process in nitrogen. The presence of a carbonaceous template prevented crystallite growth, featured highly macroporous nanosheet (∼60 nm thick) morphologies, and ensured homogeneous mixing of Ca and Mg, which are essential to minimize diffusion limitations, mitigate sintering, and provide structural stability. Thus, 10 mol% MgO acting as an inert stabilizer was sufficient to achieve a CO2 uptake of 0.65 g g−1 (corresponding to a capacity retention of 89.9%) after 10 cycles under realistic conditions, as confirmed by TGA analysis. This N-doped carbon template can be applied generally to produce a wide range of porous and nanostructured stabilized CaO sorbents with stable CO2 uptake.
