The inhibitive effect of N-lauroyl L-lysine on the corrosion of mild steel in 0.5 M H 2 SO 4 solution was investigated by electrochemical technique, weight loss measurement, scanning electron microscope (SEM) and quantum chemical calculation. The results showed that N-lauroyl L-lysine was a moderate cathodic inhibitor for mild steel in 0.5 M H 2 SO 4 solution with its inhibition efficiency increasing with concentration, and decreasing with temperature. The adsorption of N-lauroyl L-lysine on the surface of mild steel obeyed El-Awady thermodynamic-kinetic model, and the thermodynamic and kinetic parameters, as well as quantum chemical parameters, were determined to discuss the mechanism of inhibition of N-lauroyl L-lysine on mild steel surface.

To deeply understand the role of P in hydrodeoxygenation (HDO), SiO2-supported Ni and Ni–P catalysts with different P/Ni ratios (x) were prepared. The as-prepared samples were characterized by various characterization methods. The HDO activity and product distribution over the Ni/SiO2 and N–P/SiO2-x were compared and the effects of x on the structure, acidity, formation mechanism of active phases and HDO performance were studied taking m-cresol HDO as a model reaction. The results showed that the introduction of P promotes the formation of smaller active sites and contributes to the creation of weak and medium strength acid sites through the formation of P–OH groups and Niδ+ in Ni2P. HDO over the Ni/SiO2 catalyst occurs mainly via the hydrogenation (HYD) route with 3-methyl-cyclohexanol (3-MCHnol) as the main product. However, for Ni–P/SiO2-x catalysts, methyl-cyclohexane (MCH) selectivity increases first and then decreases with the increase of x, reaching a maximum of 95% at x = 1. The acidity generated by the introduction of P contributes to increased MCH selectivity, while the dehydration of 3-MCHnol to MCH occurs mainly on acid sites. However, the excessively high P content (x ≥ 2.0) leads to a significant increase of MB (toluene) selectivity, which is associated with the increase in Ni(I) sites. About 100% m-cresol conversion was achieved with Ni–P/SiO2-1.0 when the m-cresol (g)/catalyst (g) ratio was 3, with MCH (99.4%) as the major product, showing great promise for deep HDO catalysis.

Entropy stabilization is an effective method to design and explore MAX phases with outstanding properties via tuning constituent elements and crystal structures, which have received considerable critical attention. Currently, some medium-/high-entropy (ME/HE) MAX phases, whose A layers are composed of Al, S, and magnetic elements, are reported, while few discussions about ME/HE-MAX phases with other A elements (e.g., Sn) are conducted. Herein, fully dense ME/HE-MAX phase bulks ((TiVNb) 2 SnC, (TiVNbZr) 2 SnC, and (TiVNbZrHf) 2 SnC) are designed and synthesized because of the chemical diversity of MAX phases. The results of Rietveld refinement of X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and high-resolution scanning transmission electron microscopy-affiliated energy-dispersive spectrometer analysis comprehensively verify the crystal structure of ME/HE-MAX phases. Both the electrical conductivity and the charge carrier mobility are significantly lower than the reported correlation ternary MAX phases, due to the electron scattering and structural defects in ME/HE-MAX phase crystal structures. Similarly, the electron contribution of thermal conductivity is gradually declining; on the contrary, the phonon plays an increasingly dominant role as temperature increases. Owing to the richness in composition of MAX phases, herein, a composition design route for discovering new MAX phases and tuning their properties is indicated.

The relatively cheap and abundant Ni as a catalyst for hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) of biomass lignin-derived phenolics at 350 °C and atmospheric pressure suffers from unfavorable C-C hydrogenolysis toward CH 4 with a lower direct deoxygenation (DDO) activity. Herein, we demonstrate that the activity and selectively of Ni for HDO of m-cresol can be modified through the differences of strong metal-support interaction (SMSI) on anatase and rutile TiO 2 . Characterizations showed that the presence of SMSI depended strongly on the crystal phase of TiO 2 . The SMSI dominates on Ni/a-TiO 2 after reduction at 350 °C, resulting in Ni particles partially covered by a TiO x overlayer, and this overlayer became sufficiently thick at 650 °C, causing a significant reduction of CO chemisorption. Although the catalyst became selective for DDO to toluene, the overall HDO activity was significantly reduced because of excessive SMSI. In contrast, the Ni/r-TiO 2 catalyst reduced at 350 °C exhibited little SMSI and was active for C-C hydrogenolysis like a bare Ni catalyst. Increasing reduction temperature to 650 °C, the Ni/r-TiO 2 catalyst showed moderate SMSI and became selective to toluene through DDO while completely inhibited CH 4 formation. The toluene and total aromatics yields were 84.8 and 92.2%, respectively, at full conversion. More importantly, the turnover frequency for DDO (2.43 min −1 ) on the Ni/r-TiO 2 catalyst reduced at 650 °C was ∼40 and ∼14 times higher than that of Ni on rutile and anatase, respectively, reduced at 350 °C. This study provides an example of “Goldilocks principle” in catalysis, i.e., the best performing catalyst offers a balanced SMSI!

Electroreduction removal of nitrate (NO 3 – -N) is considered as a promising approach to solve its adverse effects on environment and human health, where efficient and cheap catalysts are required. Perovskite-based catalysts showed a versatile catalytic ability for wide range of redox reactions, but seldom applied for NO 3 – -N reduction. Herein, four perovskite oxide cathodes, LaMO 3-δ (M = Fe, Co, Ni and Cu) were prepared and used for the reduction of NO 3 – -N. The Ruddlesden-Popper (RP) type La 2 CuO 4 exhibited the best NO 3 – -N catalytic activity among the four perovskite oxide cathodes, with a removal rate of 11.7 × 10 -3 min −1 . The high selectivity of NH 4 + -N (82.4 ± 2.2%) indicated that NH 4 + -N was the main final product for NO 3 – -N electroreduction at La 2 CuO 4 cathode, but 100% of N 2 selectivity could be obtained with addition of 1000 and 1500 mg/L Cl - as the electro-assisted chlorination process. The mechanism of NO 3 – -N electroreduction occurred by both electron- and H*-mediated pathway, and the oxygen vacancies and redox cycle of Cu(I)-Cu(II)-Cu(I) were proposed as the accommodation sties and direct electron sources for NO 3 – -N reduction. Generally, this study opens a novel avenue for the development of earth-abundant, cost-effective catalyst with effective NO 3 – -N electroreduction.

A magnetic demulsifier, denoted M-Gn-PAMAM (n = 1, 2, 3), was synthesized by reacting polyamidoamine (PAMAM) dendrimers with Fe3O4@SiO2. The characteristics of magnetic nano-polymer were investigated via using XRD analysis, FT-IR, TEM, and VSM methods. The as-prepared M-Gn-PAMAM was highly effective at removing oil from wastewater produced from ASP flooding, with a maximum oil removal rate of 94% at 60 °C. Furthermore, the regeneration experiments illustrated that M-Gn-PAMAM could be readily recovered by an external magnetic field and it could be recycled up to 9 times without a significant loss in demulsification efficiency. In conclusion, the magnetic demulsifier synthesized in this study could be a promising nanomaterial for use in emulsified oil-water separation.

In this work, a group of Bi 3+ /Eu 3+ -doped SiO 2 –Al 2 O 3 -MCO 3 (M = Ca, Sr, Ba) glasses were fabricated through melt-quenching method. Their structure and photoluminescence characters were studied via X-ray diffraction (XRD), UV–Vis transmission spectra (TRS), excitation spectra, emission spectra and decay lifetimes. The XRD results show that no nano-crystal phase forms in glass matrix with different doping concentrations of Bi 3+ and Eu 3+ ions. Through regulating optical alkalinity value, the intensity of Bi 3+ ions increases and the peak position shifts to red wavelength. The Bi 3+ /Eu 3+ co-doped glasses show a blue-white-yellow-red luminescence by changing concentration of Eu 3+ ions. Energy transfer efficiency from Bi 3+ to Eu 3+ can reach as high as 10.54%. At 423 K, the emission intensity of 55SiO 2 –10Al 2 O 3 –35BaO-0.25Bi 2 O 3 (GBE0.5) is 31.1% of that at 308 K. Meanwhile, the activation energy of the glass matrix is 0.251 eV. All results suggest that these Bi 3+ /Eu 3+ co-doped glass samples possess potential application in LED field.

Organic–inorganic metal halides (OIMHs) with unique structural flexibility possess excellent photoelectric properties. They are regarded as next-generation photovoltaic materials, phosphors, semiconductors, and ferroelectrics. The metal-halide units in OIMHs are good microscopic building blocks of nonlinear optical crystals for laser wavelength conversion. However, most OIMHs are absent from nonlinear optics owing to their macroscopic nonlinear optical (NLO)-inactive centrosymmetric crystal structure. In this study, two new lead-free OIMHs, (TMEDA)SbI 5 and (TMEDA)BiI 5 (where TMEDA 2+ is N , N , N ′-trimethylethylenediammonium), having 1D structure, crystallized in the orthorhombic system with a non-centrosymmetric P 2 1 2 1 2 1 space group, are synthesized. Remarkably, upon 2090 nm laser irradiation, both compounds possess a strong infrared (IR) nonlinear optical response of the same magnitude as AgGaS 2 , which is a benchmark semiconductor-type nonlinear optical crystal. In addition, under the excitation of ultraviolet and visible lights, both compounds produce self-trapped exciton-induced red-light emission. First-principles electronic structure calculations reveal that the optical properties originate from the electronic transitions within the inorganic metal-halide group. The obtained results indicate that both compounds are potential photoelectric materials for laser frequency conversion and fluorescence, and the observation of NLO effect in these two compounds verifies that OIMHs are also good candidates for NLO crystals.

Degradation of organic pollutant through catalytic wet peroxide oxidation (CWPO) is becoming more and more important in modern industry. As a commonly used organic synthetic material, excessive discharge of m-cresol may lead to severe damage of the environment and become a potential threat to human health. In this study, m-cresol was degraded over novel iron loaded carbon nanotube microfibrous composite (Fe-CNT-MF) catalyst packed fixed bed reactor. The kinetic parameters were first optimized, and then the deactivation mechanism of catalyst was also studied. The optimization model showed that total organic carbon (TOC) conversion of m-cresol degradation can reach about 70% under optimum conditions. Then the catalyst deactivation test was conducted with four consecutive runs (32 h in total). Fe-CNT-MF performed high m-cresol and TOC conversions (99% and 40%, respectively) as well as high H 2 O 2 decomposition efficiency (100%) with no iron leaching. Besides, the effect of co-existing organic pollutants on m-cresol degradation was investigated with presence of 4-Ethylphenol and 2,5-dimethylphenol. Fe-CNT-MF exhibited good catalytic activity in multi-pollutant wastewater with 99% conversion for all pollutants. Finally, deactivation analysis results showed that the deactivation mechanism of Fe-CNT-MF included carbon deposition, surface property change and additional oxygen functionalities. A regeneration study was proceeded to further confirm the suggested mechanism, indicating that Fe-CNT-MF has a good regenerability.

M-type strontium ferrite is a kind of magnetic functional material with wide application prospect. In this work, SrFe 12− x Al x O 19 (0 ≤ x ≤ 1) and Sr 1− y Ca y Fe 8 Al 4 O 19 (0 ≤ y ≤ 0.4) have been prepared by a hydrothermal method, and the effects of Al 3+ doping and Al 3+ and Ca 2+ co-doping on the magnetic properties have been investigated. X-ray diffraction analysis indicates all the samples are a hexagonal structure, and the shift of the diffraction peaks suggests that Al 3+ and Ca 2+ are successfully doped in SrFe 12 O 19 . Field emission scanning electron microscope images show the particles have the hexagonal shape with the size of 1.1–2.9 µm. Vibrating sample magnetometer reveals that the doping of Al 3+ and the co-doping Al 3+ and Ca 2+ can enhance magnetic properties of strontium ferrite. For example, the values of coercivity and the saturation magnetization of SrFe 8 Al 4 O 19 are 914.1 Oe and 44.0 emu/g, which are 3% and 117% enhancement compared with SrFe 12 O 19 , respectively. For Sr 1− y Ca y Fe 8 Al 4 O 19 , coercivity and saturation magnetization increase from 914.1 Oe and 41.8 emu/g to 1047.2 Oe and 50.2 emu/g when the Ca 2+ doping concentration increases from 0 to 0.4. Moreover, the effects of acid washing also on phase composition, morphology and magnetism are researched. The as-synthesized doping strontium ferrite will be useful for the applications in security switching and recording media.

Organic–inorganic hybrid metal halides have received extensive attention owing to their versatile structures and optoelectronic properties. Herein, we report two lead-free metal halides, (PMA)3BiBr6 and (PMA)3SbBr6 [PMA+: (C6H5CH2NH3)+, as the abbreviation of phenylmethylammonium], which possess iso-structural zero-dimensional structures and crystallize in the monoclinic space group P21/c. (PMA)3BiBr6 and (PMA)3SbBr6 exhibit optical band gaps of ∼3.50 and 3.40 eV, respectively, and density functional theory calculations reveal their indirect bandgap behaviors. Upon 350 and 425 nm excitation, (PMA)3BiBr6 and (PMA)3SbBr6 exhibit broadband emission peaking at 510 nm and 625 nm with wide full-widths at half-maximum of ∼153 and 175 nm, respectively. The emission mechanism of the metal halides is attributed to self-trapped exciton emission. The relationship between the crystal structure and luminescence intensity is also discussed. Finally, both metal halides have high decomposition temperatures and are stable for long-term storage under ambient conditions, demonstrating their potential for optoelectronic applications.

CeO2/polymer nanoparticles have drawn considerable attention for their excellent UV absorption properties. However, many challenges still exist in the successful incorporation of ceria into the polymer matrix for the easy agglomeration and photocatalytic activity of CeO2 nanoparticles. Herein, we address these issues by constructing three-layer structured nanoparticles (M-CeO2@SiO2) and incorporating them into a polymer matrix through a mini-emulsion polymerization process. During this process, small-sized nano-ceria became uniformly anchored on the surfaces of monodisperse silica particles first, and then the particles were coated with an MPS/SiO2 shield. The morphology and dispersion of the nanoparticles were investigated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The performance of the hybrid films was characterized using UV-vis absorption spectroscopy (UV-vis) and water contact angle (WCA) measurements. Results showed that the M-CeO2@SiO2 nanoparticles exhibited a three-layer structure with a mean diameter of 360 nm, and they possess good compatibility with acrylic monomers. After the addition of M-CeO2@SiO2, hybrid films exhibited enhanced UV absorption capacity as expected, accompanied by an obvious improvement in hydrophobicity (the water contact angle increased from 84.2° to 98.2°). The results showed that the hybrid films containing M-CeO2@SiO2 particles possess better global performance as compared with those containing no particles.
