Bromate (BrO 3 – ) is a common by-product of advanced oxidation water treatment processes. In this study, a catalyst combining MXene and Pd was synthesized to eliminate BrO 3 – by electrochemical reduction in flow-through mode. The fabricated Ti/Pd@MXene filter showed superior activity for BrO 3 – reduction compared with Ti/MXene filter. A satisfactory BrO 3 − removal performance by Ti/Pd@MXene filter was obtained at pH values of 5–7 with a current density of 1.0–2.5 mA·cm –2 . The mechanism explored by quenching experiments and EPR analysis demonstrated that atomic hydrogen (H*)-mediated reduction was dominant in the Ti/Pd@MXene filter system and contributed to 84.2 % of the BrO 3 − removal, which was greater than that of Ti (7.1 %) and Ti/MXene (43.9 %). DFT calculations revealed the introduction of Pd nanoparticles on MXene lowered the energy barrier for generating H* from OH* -H* , thus boosting H* formation. Furthermore, the Ti/Pd@MXene filter had favorable stability and applicability, and nearly 90 % of BrO 3 − could be eliminated in different water matrices. Moreover, energy consumption of the Ti/Pd@MXene filter was more competitive than that previously reported (0.348 kWh·mmol −1 ), especially for high BrO 3 − removal (≥75 %). This work highlighted an effective flow-through electrocatalytic filter to induce H* -mediated electrochemical reduction of BrO 3 − .

To address ion interference in photocatalytic antibiotic degradation within high-salt seawater, this study innovatively designed and synthesized a titanium-based metal–organic framework (MOF) heterojunction composite. Specifically, a solvothermal technique was used to create MIL-125(HAC)/TiO 2 (TAC) photocatalysts using commercial TiO 2 (P25) and MIL-125(Ti) that had been treated with acetic acid. Remarkably, under 60 min of visible-light irradiation, the optimized TAC-2 sample achieved 95.7 % tetracycline (TC) degradation in seawater (compared to 98.1 % in deionized water) and retained >85 % efficiency after four cycles. Critically, its degradation rate constant (k=0.0355 min −1 ) in seawater was 44.4 times higher than that of P25, demonstrating exceptional resistance to salt-ion interference and photocatalytic activity. Mechanistic studies revealed that the performance enhancement arises from three synergistic mechanisms: (1) A mesoporous structure mitigating ion interference and strengthening TC-selective adsorption; (2) A Type-II heterojunction enabling efficient charge separation; (3) •O 2 − and h + identified as dominant active species (confirmed by EPR and quenching tests). Collectively, this work establishes an effective MOF heterojunction engineering strategy for efficient antibiotic removal in saline environments, ultimately contributing to marine pollution remediation.

In this work, a low-temperature method for creating nanostructured TiO 2 thin films with controlled morphologies for the photocatalytic degradation of the persistent antibiotic pollutant ofloxacin in water is presented. A Ti–H₂O₂ interaction was used to produce hydrogen titanate nanowires, which were subsequently converted into three different nanostructures: anatase nanowires by calcined at 450°C, porous nanorods and hierarchical nanoflowers by treating at 80°C for 72 hours with hot water and sulfuric acid, respectively. Controls over surface area, hydroxyl group contents, and crystal phase composition were made possible by these post-treatments. With a reaction rate constant of 0.72 h⁻¹ and a photocatalytic efficiency of 98% ofloxacin degradation in 4 hours under UV light, TiO 2 nanoflowers outperformed commercial benchmark P25 mixed phase TiO 2 nanoparticle films (0.64 h⁻¹) among the different nanostructures. The mixed anatase-rutile phase, high surface area of 49.1 m²/g, large pore volume of 0.15 mL/g, and numerous surface hydroxyl groups are responsible for the superior performance. These results show that morphology-engineered TiO 2 films can be used to treat water effectively through photocatalysis.

The rapid advancement of highly integrated electronics demands next generation electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding materials that combine lightweight, ultrathin, flexible, and mechanically robust properties with exceptional shielding effectiveness (SE) to mitigate signal crosstalk and ensure device reliability. In this work, we demonstrate the fabrication of high-performance EMI shields using highly conductive, additive-free aqueous Ti3C2Tx (T = O, OH, Cl, F) MXene dispersions synthesized under both harsh and mild etching conditions. These dispersions were engineered into freestanding thin films and functionalized cotton fabrics via vacuum-assisted filtration, enabling tunable EMI shielding properties through precise control of etchant chemistry, flake size, microstructure, thickness, and MXene loading. The EMI shielding improved with film thickness and the 13 μm thick film demonstrated exceptional EMI shielding of 60 dB. The freestanding heat treated Ti3C2Tx film with minimal thickness of 5 µm achieved a remarkable shielding effectiveness of 71 dB (which is 37% higher than the untreated film) corresponding to 99.99999% EMI attenuation. This film also exhibited an ultrahigh absolute shielding effectiveness (SSET) of 72,300 dB cm2 g−1, surpassing all previously reported MXene-based shields of comparable thickness. The improved stability was attributed to thermal conversion of surface OH groups to O-terminations, reducing interflake spacing and enhancing conductivity. The coated cotton fabric achieved an unprecedented SE of 82 dB due to the excellent wave attenuation associated with its porous structure. Notably, the fabric retained its shielding performance even after six months of ambient exposure, highlighting exceptional environmental stability. This study establishes critical structure-property relationships, revealing that induced porosity, meta-structure effects, large flake size, and optimized surface terminations synergistically enhance EMI shielding. By elucidating the interplay between material parameters and shielding performance, this work provides a foundational framework for designing advanced EMI mitigation technologies, paving the way for scalable, high-performance shielding solutions in next-generation flexible and wearable electronics.

It remains a significant challenge for simultaneously regulating the water dissociation and hydrogen adsorption/desorption of Ru in alkaline media. Herein, we successfully architected an entity of individually-functionalized spatial valence-asymmetric Ru sites on Ru/TiO 2 quantum dots for high-performance alkaline hydrogen evolution. The Ru nanoclusters were self-adaptively grown along the Ti vacancies, triggering the phase transformation from anatase to rutile TiO 2 . The well-defined Ru/TiO 2 interface produced a strong electronic metal-support interaction, acquiring a Ru site with asymmetric electronic state. Resultantly, the anisotropy of the surface low-valence Ru δ- site and the interface high-valence Ru δ+ site break the scaling relationship of water dissociation, hydroxyl and hydrogen adsorption. The asymmetrical Ru electronic state achieves 15 mV overpotential at 10 mA cm -2 and delivers a high mass activity of 5.4-fold than commercial Pt/C at 100 mV, outperforming most reported Ru-based catalysts. Our work sheds light on the potential of support-crystal phase engineering to design catalysts with the required electrocatalytic performance.

Piezoelectric materials (PZTs) enjoy extensive applications in the field of electromechanical sensors due to their sensitive response to external electric fields. The limited piezoelectric response for single-layer piezoceramic pellets drives the use of multilayered technology to increase the electric displacement of a single piezo device. As is well known, Ag is commonly used as a metal for electrodes in devices based on traditional PZTs, which always densify at a high temperature above 1100 °C, resulting in Ag migration. Here, a high-performance samarium-ion-doped Sm0.01Pb0.99(Zr0.54Ti0.46)O3ceramic was selected as parent materials to develop a new Ag-cofired ceramic matrix with a sintering temperature of 920 °C by glass flux. The ceramic composition with 2.0 wt% glass addition exhibits the excellent performance of piezoelectricd33~492 pC/N, planar electromechanical coupling coefficientkp~50.1%, mechanical quality factorQm~68.71, and Curie temperatureTc~356 °C, respectively. The cyclic stability ofd33was measured below 6.6% at 30 kV/cm, which indicates that the piezoceramic has good temperature stability and fatigue resistance. Therefore, this study provides a novel high-performance piezoelectric system to meet the cofired requirement for multilayered piezoelectric devices.

Conventional electromagnetic wave (EMW) absorbing materials often suffer from poor stability in humid and corrosive environments, limiting their real-world applications. In this work, carbon-based composites derived from Ti-Ni bimetallic metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) were synthesized via pyrolysis and investigated as dual-function materials for EMW absorption and corrosion protection. The composites exhibit excellent impedance matching and strong attenuation capability due to the synergistic interaction between the metal oxides and the carbon matrix. A minimum reflection loss of −40 dB and an effective absorption bandwidth of 4.61 GHz were achieved at an optimized thickness of 4.1 mm. Furthermore, upon incorporation into an epoxy resin coating, the composite displayed outstanding corrosion resistance. After immersion in a 3.5 wt% NaCl solution for 7 days, good stability was still maintained. This study presents a promising strategy for designing multifunctional materials with integrated EMW absorption and corrosion resistance, offering broad application potential in marine, aerospace, and communication sectors.

Hybrid materials with tunable properties, particularly metal-organic frameworks (MOFs)@MXene composites have emerged as a cutting-edge research focus different applications. In this study, a novel energetic CuMOF composed of Cu 2+ and 3-(tetrazol-5-yl) triazole is synthesized, followed by the development of CuMOF@MXene composites (CuMOF@MX x ) via a facile one-step hydrothermal method. This approach leverages the interfacial “Ti─O···Cu” non-bonded interactions to achieve composites with diverse morphologies. Subsequently, both experiments and theoretical calculations verify the presence of these non-bonded interactions and their influence on morphology, thermal property, and combustion performance of the composites. The morphologies of composites transition from a flower-like structure to a spherical shape with the addition of Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene. Furthermore, simultaneous thermogravimetry-differential scanning calorimetry tests, along with non-isothermal kinetic analysis, indicate that CuMOF@MX 4 has a higher initial temperature of 354.2 °C for runaway reaction and a larger activation energy of 211.58 kJ mol −1 , compared to CuMOF (314.9 °C and 202.56 kJ mol −1 ). In addition, the combustion tests demonstrate that CuMOF@MX x exhibit more intense and rapid combustion. This work demonstrates the critical role of the non-bonded interaction between CuMOF and Ti 3 C 2 T x interfaces in regulating the structure and properties of the composites, and the possible mechanism of this process is also elucidated.

In this study, a novel Ti/TiO 2 Blue/SnO 2 -Sb@Ni-La (denoted as SnO 2 -Sb@Ni-La(H)) was successfully prepared by hydrothermal method . The fabricated SnO 2 -Sb@Ni-La(H) electrode exhibited the superior electrocatalytic properties: high oxygen evolution potential (2.34 V vs. SCE), low charge transfer resistance (73.4 Ω cm −2 ), and highest degradation efficiency of benzoic acid (BA) ( k BA = 0.112 min −1 ), compared with other electrodes. The degradation rate of BA on the SnO 2 -Sb@Ni-La(H) was 3.6-fold, 4.7-fold, and 7-fold higher than that of SnO 2 -Sb@Ni-La(T), Ti/TiO 2 Blue, and Ti/SnO 2 -Sb, respectively. The study showed that •OH was the main radical contributing to pollutants degradation and the first-order degradation rate of organic pollutants in electrochemical oxidation (EO) process depends on their reactivity towards •OH ( k •OH,OP ), except for the case of methyl orange (MeO). Among the proposed combination methods, the combination of adsorption and electrochemical oxidation (rGO + EO process) exhibited excellent performance: the first-order degradation rate of P-nitrosodimethylaniline ( k RNO ) in (rGO + EO) process increased by 1.42-fold, compared with the EO process alone. This can be explained by the synergy effect from adsorption of RNO on rGO and the degradation of RNO during the EO process. The hydrothermal deposition combined with thermal decomposition can significantly improve the physical and electrochemical oxidation properties of the Ti/TiO 2 Blue/SnO 2 -Sb@Ni-La electrode: k RNO increased by 3.5-fold, compared with that of 1-time deposition by hydrothermal deposition. In addition, the effect of some operating parameters was investigated, including pH, current density, cathode size and distance of electrodes. This study provided a new method to prepare high-performance Ti/TiO 2 Blue/SnO 2 -Sb@Ni-La electrode and proposed some methods to improve the removal efficiency of the pollutants.

Sm and Ti co-doped BiFeO 3 (BFO) ceramics with Fe vacancies—Bi 0.86 Sm 0.14 FeO 3 , Bi 0.86 Sm 0.14 Fe 0.99 Ti 0.01 O 3 , and Bi 0.86 Sm 0.14 Fe 0.9 Ti 0.05 O 3 —were prepared by a solid-state method using a rapid liquid process. X-ray diffraction indicated that all samples exhibited a rhombohedral structure with a minor secondary phase. The structural transformation from a rhombohedral (space group: R 3 c ) to orthorhombic structure (space group: Pnma ) was observed in the sample of Bi 0.86 Sm 0.14 Fe 0.9 Ti 0.05 O 3 , which was also confirmed by Raman scattering spectra. Microstructural investigations with scanning electron microscopy showed a reduction in grain size with doping of BFO. The dielectric loss of Bi 0.86 Sm 0.14 Fe 0.9 Ti 0.05 O 3 reaches 0.05 (at 100 Hz) owing to the introduction of Ti and Fe vacancies. Ferroelectromagnetic measurements revealed the existence of ferroelectricity with a remanent polarization of 0.24 µC/cm 2 in Bi 0.86 Sm 0.14 FeO 3 , paraelectricity in Bi 0.86 Sm 0.14 Fe 0.9 Ti 0.05 O 3 , and weak ferromagnetism with a remanent magnetization of 0.2 emu/g in Bi 0.86 Sm 0.14 Fe 0.99 Ti 0.01 O 3 . The two composition-driven phases exist simultaneously and the different coercive field might be related to the jumps in the ferromagnetic hysteresis loops. Both the ferroelectric and magnetic properties were shown to correlate with the composition-driven structural evolution.

The interfacial microstructure of an Al-based coating on a Ti alloy surface has been designed by using phase diagrams and advanced first-principles calculations. Samples were characterized by x-ray diffractometry, scanning electron microscopy, optical microscopy, high resolution transmission electron microscopy and energy-dispersive spectrometry. The results show that the stability sequence of the Ti–Al intermetallics was Ti3Al > TiAl > TiAl2 > TiAl3. The TiAl3 transition layer with a strong self-healing property was obtained easily by metallurgical reaction of Al and Ti. The Al atoms in TiAl3 combined rapidly with the O atoms to form a new Al2O3 protective layer in air. This work provides theoretical support for the thermal processing of Ti alloys.

Ferroelectric materials with the typical perovskite structure are widely used in capacitors, ultrasonic devices, oil drilling, transducers, and other fields. Lead-lanthanum-zirconium-titanate ceramics co-doped with Sn and Ba , have been widely investigated. However, there is little attention has been focused on the dielectric properties of barium-lanthanum-zirconium-titanate. Thus, in this work, Sn doped Ba 0.955 La 0.03 Zr 0.02 Ti 0.98 O 3 ferroelectric ceramics were prepared via a classical high-temperature solid state reaction. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) was used to observe the surface appearance of ceramics. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns at room temperature, indicate that the ceramics are well crystallized. Impedance properties and dielectric properties reflect the characteristic of typical high temperature dielectric relaxation behavior. The conductive activation energy and the relaxation activation energy are obtained through the calculation of the Arrhenius law. The fitting results show that the dielectric relaxation behavior at high-temperature, was related to the oxygen defect. The electrical modulus verified the partial short-range carrier migration, also contribute to the high-temperature dielectric properties.
