This work developed a new method for measuring the volume expansion of a CO 2 + n -dodecane mixture, using a fused silica capillary cell (FSCC), combined with a heating-cooling stage and a confocal Raman spectrometer. The cell was constructed on the micron scale to reduce the temperature gradient and reagent consumption. The results confirmed the feasibility of this method that using Raman spectra to verify phase equilibrium, a digital camera to record images of the CO 2 + n -dodecane mixture and a micrometer to measure the volume, a section of water (water seal) between n -dodecane and gas phase to prevent n -dodecane from evaporating. It was shown that the volume expansion factor of the mixture increased with pressure going from 1.0 to 10.0 MPa, but decreased as the temperature was raised from 30 to 80 °C. In addition, a positive quadratic relationship ( R 2 > 0.99) was obtained between Raman peak intensity ratio and volume expansion factor, such that more volume expansion factors could be obtained according to the equations with measured Raman peak intensity ratio data. This experiment widens the ranges of temperature and pressure in the measurements of the volume expansion, and provides more volume expansion data for CO 2 -enhanced oil recovery.

In this work, non-stoichiometric Li 2(1+ x ) Mg 3 Ti 4 O 12 (L x MTO, x = 0.00–0.05) ceramics with excess lithium were prepared through a simple reaction sintering route to suppress lithium volatilization. According to the characterization of the phase composition and microscopic morphology of the pellets, single-phase L x MTO ceramics with a good microstructure were obtained. Excess lithium effectively inhibited the volatilization and optimized the morphology of the ceramics. A trend in relative density with an initial increase followed by a steep decrease was a predominant observation with the change in dielectric properties. The permittivity of the samples was dominated by the relative density and distortion of the [TiO 6 ] octahedron structure caused by Li + . The dielectric loss primarily originated from the refraction loss and scattering generated by pores, and the grain boundaries also contributed to the loss in the quality factor. Ultimately, at 1220°C, the Li 2.08 Mg 3 Ti 4 O 12 ceramics exhibited excellent microwave dielectric properties: ε r = 17.83, Q × f = 69,823 GHz and τ f = −18.19 ppm/°C.

Al 2 O 3 /SiC ceramic composites with different SiC contents have been prepared by powder metallurgy at 1600 °C for 120 min at 30 MPa pressure. The effect of second phase particles on the microstructure and mechanical properties of composites have been studied. The results show that SiC particle has a significant impact on the matrix subjected to residual stress, and on the microstructure of the composites as well. The average grain size of alumina matrix decreases as the SiC particle content increases. Simultaneously, it has been found that the mechanical properties of the material are significantly enhanced in comparison with monolithic Al 2 O 3 . The highest strength and toughness are obtained when the SiC content is 15 vol%, and the values are 1237 MPa and 5.68 MPa m 1/2 , respectively. The mechanisms of strengthening and toughening have been discussed.

In this study, alkali hydroxides (NaOH, LiOH, KOH) were attempted as new-type catalytic additives to improve the hydrogen storage properties of MgH 2 by ball milling . It is shown that the additives readily react with the MgH 2 to form perovskite-structured NaMgH 3 and KMgH 3 , but not the LiMgH 3 . Although the in-situ formed perovskite hydrides remain stable during hydriding/dehydriding cycles, both NaMgH 3 and KMgH 3 show predominant catalytic role on the hydriding and dehydriding of MgH 2 . In contrast, the LiOH modified MgH 2 presents much inferior sorption kinetics because of the absence of LiMgH 3 . The catalytic mechanism of perovskite hydrides can be explained by the high hydrogen mobility in the perovskite structure . This study shows that such cheap hydroxides could be used as efficient catalysts to improve the hydrogen storage properties of high-capacity metal hydrides and complex hydrides .

O3 phase layered oxides are highly attractive cathode materials for sodium-ion batteries because of their high capacity and decent initial Coulombic efficiency. However, their rate capability and long cycling life are unsatisfactory due to the narrow Na + transfer channel and irreversible phase transitions of O3 phase during sodiation/desodiation process. Constructing O3/P2 multiphase structures has been proven to be an effective strategy to overcome these challenges. In this study, we synthesized bi-phasic structured O3/P2 Na(Ni 2/9 Fe 1/3 Cu 1/9 Mn 1/3 ) 1- x Mn x O 2 ( x = 0.01, 0.02, 0.03, 0.04, 0.05) materials through Mn doping during sodiation process. Benefiting from surface P2 phase layer with the enhanced Na + transfer dynamics and high structural stability , the Na(Ni 2/9 Fe 1/3 Cu 1/9 Mn 1/3 ) 0.98 Mn 0.02 O 2 (NFCM-M2) cathode delivers a reversible capacity of 139.1 mA h g −1 at 0.1 C, and retains 71.4 % of its original capacity after 300 cycles at 1 C. Our work provides useful guidance for designing multiphase cathodes and offers new insights into the structure-performance correlation for sodium-ion cathode materials.

We report a simple and low-cost approach to enhance the longstanding stability of the perovskite solar cell (PSC) through the application of low-temperature grown SnO 2 nanorod (NR) arrays. SnO 2 NR arrays were fabricated by an aqueous synthesis method in the presence of hydrochloric acid and using thin compact SnO 2 as seeds. The influence of HCl concentration on the photovoltaic (PV) performance of the SnO 2 NR array based PSC device was investigated. The formed crystalline SnO 2 nanorods with square transversal-sections were oriented on the FTO facets in a well-defined and perpendicular fashion at an optimal HCl concentration. The optimized width and length for SnO 2 nanorods were 30 nm and 150 nm, respectively. Consequently, efficient and stable SnO 2 nanorod based perovskite devices were obtained with an average power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 16.57%. The SnO 2 nanorod array based PSCs demonstrated considerably better ultraviolet (UV) and ambient air stability than the planar SnO 2 and notably mesoporous TiO 2 solar cells. This paper provides a prospective scheme to grow high-quality three-dimensional SnO 2 nanorod arrays for highly stable and efficient PSCs.

Graphene has been widely studied for its excellent properties of outstanding conductivity, strength , and flexibility. However, interlayer defects formed during the macroscopic assembly of graphene nanosheets will severely degrade the performance of graphene films. Herein, a strategy combined with trace carboxyl graphene oxide (GO), mild reduction, and chemical crosslinking is employed to minimize the interlayer defects for enhancing both the conductivity and mechanical strength of graphene films. The trace carboxyl feature of GO allows nanosheets to assemble orderly into highly oriented GO films . Subsequently, the mild chemical reduction preserves the highly oriented and packed microstructure. Coupling with further crosslinking by introducing conjugated molecules with pyrene terminal groups (1-pyrene butyric acid-1,6-hexane diamine, PHD) to provide extra π-π bonds, both the mechanical strength and conductivity of graphene films are improved to 548.4 MPa and 1.7 × 10 5 S m −1 , respectively. In addition, the graphene film with only ∼2 μm in thickness possesses an excellent electromagnetic interference shielding effectiveness (EMI SE) of ∼40 dB and a specific shielding effectiveness of up to 74 278 dB cm 2 g −1 in a wide frequency range of 8.2–40.0 GHz. Thus, this study provides an energy-saving fabrication route for mechanically strong, effective thermal management and EMI shielding films.

Efficient elimination of fluoride from wastewater is an urgent need for ensuring water safety. In the present study, a stable and reusable nanocomposite (NCO@PAE) was synthesized by impregnating nanosized cerium oxides (NCO) inside a porous polystyrene anion exchanger (PAE) host for efficient fluoride removal from wastewater. The newly fabricated NCO@PAE exhibited excellent resistance to acid and alkali environment, allowing it to be utilized in a wide pH range (2–12). Fluoride uptake onto NCO@PAE was a pH-dependent process, which could reach the maximum capacity at pH 3.0. Compared with its host PAE , NCO@PAE showed conspicuous adsorption affinity towards fluoride in the coexistence of other competing anions at high concentrations. Adsorption kinetics confirmed its high efficiency for achieving equilibrium within 120 min. Fixed-bed adsorption runs demonstrated that the effective processing capacity of NCO@PAE for synthetic fluoride-containing wastewater (initial fluoride 2.5 mg/L) was about ~330 BV (bed volume), while only 22 BV for the host PAE . The exhausted NCO@PAE could be effectively revived by a simple in-situ desorption method for long-term cycle operation without conspicuous capacity loss. All the results indicated that NCO@PAE is a reliable and promising adsorbent for water defluoridation.

The effects of binary and ternary trace elements (TEs) (Fe/Co, Fe/Ni, and Fe/Co/Ni) on the anaerobic digestion (AD) of cattle manure were investigated using kinetic models (first-order, logistic, modified Gompertz, and Coats-Redfern) and experimental measurements. Binary and ternary TEs can significantly improve the biogas production rate and yield potential. The deviation between the predicted and measured data for biogas yield with logistic model (2.1%–5.3%) and modified Gompertz model (0.32%–2.9%) was smaller than that with first-order kinetic model (6.9%–9.9%). The Coats-Redfern model fitting indicated that the activation energy of digestates with trace elements during pyrolysis was reduced by 3.9%–26.2% compared with the control group. Meanwhile, digestates with TEs showed remarkable fertility (5.72%–5.95%). The combination of kinetic models and experimental measurements can effectively quantify the effect of TEs on AD performance and provide an informed choice for industrial production.

An amphiphilic amino resorcinarene (T) was modified onto the surface of graphene oxide (GO) through covalent bond forces and non-covalent bond forces to prepare GO–T. The water-soluble graphene–T (GN–T) composite was prepared by the reduction of GO–T. Then, pre-prepared platinum nanoparticles (PtNPs) and different sized gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) could self-assemble onto the surface of GN–T through the plentiful amido groups of T to obtain GN–T–AuNPs and GN–T–PtNPs hybrid materials. It was verified that the AuNPs and PtNPs could be uniformly scattered on GN and the amount of AuNPs and PtNPs modified on GN could be adjusted by changing the weight ratio of T/GO. GN-T-PtNPs and GN-T-AuNPs composites showed the characteristics of being dispersible, stable and recyclable in water. Electrochemical results obviously revealed that GN–T–AuNPs and GN–T–PtNPs composites exhibited outstanding electrocatalytic properties.

Chemical regulation of enzyme-mimic activity of nanomaterials is challenging because it requires a precise understanding of the surface chemistry and mechanism, and rationally designed applications. Herein, Ag + -gated peroxidase activity is demonstrated by successfully modulating surface chemistry of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide-capped gold nanoparticles (CTAB-AuNPs). A surface blocking effect of long-chain molecules on surfaces of AuNPs that inhibit peroxidase activity of AuNPs is found. Ag + ions can selectively bind on the surfaces of AuNPs and competitively destroy CTAB membrane forming Ag + @CTAB-AuNPs complexes to result in enhanced peroxidase activity. Ag + @CTAB-AuNPs show the highest peroxidase activity compared to similar-sized citrate-capped and ascorbic acid-capped AuNPs. Ag + @CTAB-AuNPs can potentially develop into analyte-responsive systems and exhibit advantages in the optical sensing field. For example, the Ag + @CTAB-AuNPs system shows an enhanced sensitivity and selectivity for acetylcholinesterase activity sensing compared to other methods.

The magnetic biochars were easily fabricated by thermal pyrolysis of Fe(NO 3 ) 3 and distillation residue derived from rice straw pyrolysis oil at 400, 600 and 800 °C. The effects of pyrolysis temperature on characteristics of magnetic biochars as well as adsorption capacity for aromatic contaminants (i.e., anisole, phenol and guaiacol) were investigated carefully. The degree of carbonization of magnetic biochars become higher as pyrolysis temperature increasing. The magnetic biochar reached the largest surface area and pore volume at the pyrolysis temperature of 600 °C due to pores blocking in biochar during pyrolysis at 800 °C. Based on batch adsorption experiments, the used adsorbent could be magnetically separated and the adsorption capacity of anisole on magnetic biochars was stronger than that of phenol and guaiacol. The properties of magnetic biochar, including surface area, pore volume, aromaticity, grapheme-like-structure and iron oxide (γ-Fe 2 O 3 ) particles, showed pronounced effects on the adsorption performance of aromatic contaminants.
