Ammonia is a promising carrier for energy storage due to its high hydrogen content, low storage and transportation costs, and zero carbon emissions. Plasma catalysis shows excellent potential for sustainable ammonia synthesis; however, searching for suitable catalysts is ongoing. La(OH) 3 was studied due to its rich basic sites and oxygen vacancies, which are beneficial for plasma-catalyzed ammonia synthesis. The optimal reaction conditions were investigated, and a maximum ammonia synthesis rate of 37.13 μmol/(min•g -cat ) was achieved. H 2 plasma treatment enhanced the catalytic activity of La(OH) 3 , and ammonia synthesis rate of 40.00 μmol/(min•g -cat ) were achieved. This study contributes to the development of efficient catalysts for plasma-catalyzed ammonia synthesis and highlights the potential of La(OH) 3 as a promising catalyst.

La(OH)3 nanorods immobilized in polyacrylonitrile (PAN) nanofibers (PLNFs) were fabricated for the first time by electrospinning and a subsequent in situ surfactant-free precipitation method and then applied as a highly efficient phosphate scavenger to realize nutrient-starvation antibacteria for drinking water security. The immobilization by PAN nanofibers effectively facilitated the in situ formation of the aeolotropic and well-dispersed La(OH)3 nanostructures and, thus, rendered higher phosphate removal efficiency due to more exposed active sites for binding phosphate. The maximum phosphate capture capacity of La(OH)3 nanorods in PAN nanofibers was around 8 times that of the La(OH)3 nanocrystal fabricated by precipitation without PAN protection. Moreover, remarkably fast adsorption kinetics and high removal rate were observed toward low concentration phosphate due to the high activity of our materials, which can result in a stringent phosphate-deficient condition to kill microorganisms in water effectively. The present material is also capable of preventing sanitized water from recontamination by bacteria and keeping water biologically stable for drinking. Impressively, stabilized by PAN nanofibers, the La(OH)3 nanorods can be easily separated out after reactions and avoid leaking into water. The present development has great potential as a promising antimicrobial solution for practical drinking water security and treatment with a negligible environmental footprint.

Effective removal of both nitrogen and phosphorus from water is of great importance for maintaining the safety of the environment. In this work, ordered mesoporous carbon electrode materials containing La(OH) 3 and Fe 3 C components (La#OMC-Fe 3 C) were prepared by combining solvent evaporation induced self-assembly and impregnation methods. The ordered pores in La#OMC-Fe 3 C facilitated electron transfer at the electrode-solution interface during nitrate reduction and provided voids for phosphate removal . In the electrochemical system, Fe 3 C in the electrode supplied electrons for nitrate reduction and gave the electrode a high degree of stability, whereas La(OH) 3 selectively removed phosphate, thus avoiding byproduct precipitation from solution. The electrode material maintained efficient electrochemical nitrogen and phosphorus removal over a wide range of conditions including pH (3–11) and aqueous environments containing multiple ions (Cl − , SO 4 2− , K + , Na + , Ca 2+ , Mg 2+ ) or actual aqueous environments (seawater). After 10 cycles, the performance of La#OMC-Fe 3 C for nitrogen and phosphorus removal remained above 97%. This work realizes the simultaneous removal of nitrogen and phosphorus in the electrochemical system, and solves the problems of precipitation in water and non-circulation of electrodes, which can provide a new strategy for the treatment of eutrophic water in practical production.

A series of ultra-evenly La-decorated CoMoP composites have been fabricated by a selective corrosion and sequential in situ phosphorization strategy using La-doped Co-ZIF-67 as precursors. The electrochemical performance showed that introducing La ions within transition metal phosphides’ structure could effectively optimize the electronic configuration and result in an excellent bifunctional electrocatalyst for overall water splitting. Along with the increased La doping content to 10 %, the catalytic activities of the composites for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) all tended to increase initially and then decrease. Among all the synthesized La-decorated CoMoP materials, the 5 % La-doped composite presented the most excellent HER and OER performance in 1 M KOH. The overpotential could reach 49 mV for HER and 250 mV for OER at 10 mA·cm −2 , respectively. In addition, when employed as both anode and cathode to assemble an alkaline electrolyzer, it only required a cell voltage of 1.56 V to achieve a current density of 10 mA·cm −2 , which is superior to the most reported precious-metal-free bifunctional catalysts. More importantly, the electrolyzer could maintain a stable water-splitting current density of 10 mA·cm −2 for at least 24 h without any deviation, highlighting its potential for practical applications.

Piezoelectric ceramics with high strain response and low hysteresis are highly in demand for high-performance actuator applications. Unfortunately, the trade-off relationship between large field-induced strain and low hysteresis in piezoelectric ceramics is a key challenge for designing high-performance piezoelectric actuators. Herein, y mol%La-doped 0.10 Pb(In 1/2 Nb 1/2 )O 3 - x PbZrO 3 -(0.90 – x )PbTiO 3 [0.10PIN- x PZ-(0.90-x)PT: y mol%La] ternary relaxor ferroelectric ceramics were prepared by conventional solid-state reaction technique. Pb(In 1/2 Nb 1/2 )O 3 (PIN) as a relaxor end member was introduced into (Pb,La) (Zr,Ti)O 3 (PLZT) system to improve relaxor characteristics and strain properties. A giant strain of 0.23% was obtained in 0.10PIN-0.59PZ-0.31 PT: 8mol%La ceramic at the electric field of 20 kV/cm, with a high piezoelectric d 33 * of 1150 pm/V and low hysteresis H y of 6.4%, exhibiting a potential application in high-performance piezoelectric actuators. Furthermore, the effects of La ion doping and components on the ferroelectric, dielectric and electric field-induced strain properties were investigated, and provides a new way for improve the strain properties of piezoelectric materials .

Hydrogen peroxide synthesis by electro-reduction of O 2 to substitute the current anthraquinone process has attracted a great deal of attention. Low oxygen utilization rate and low hydrogen peroxide production remain obstacles to electro-Fenton application. In situ H 2 O 2 generated by electrochemical reaction depends on the electrochemical performance of the cathode and the structure of the reactor. Here, novel graphite felt (GF) modified by La-doped CeO 2 (La–CeO 2 ) was developed as a cathode. A new double chamber electro-Fenton reactor was proposed, where an organic ultrafiltration membrane was used to prevent H 2 O 2 from spreading to the anode. The effects of hydrothermal temperature, time and urea concentration on the electrochemical properties of graphite felt were investigated. The accumulated concentration of H 2 O 2 on the modified cathode reached 218.4 mg·L –1 in 1 h when the optimal conditions of hydrothermal temperature 120 °C and urea concentration 0.55% (mass) in 24 h. The degradation rate of methyl orange reached 98.29%. The new electro-Fenton reactor can efficiently produce hydrogen peroxide to degrade various organic substances and has a high potential for treating wastewater in the chemical industry.

The porous electrodes derived from Prussian blue analogs (PBAs) show high specific capacity and superior energy densities in supercapacitors due to their tunable chemical compositions, open three-dimensional network framework and large surface area. In this work, La-Fe PBA with different morphologies is prepared at mild conditions via controlling the composition of mixed solvent and the structural evolution of the La-Fe PBA is further explored. The solubility of K 3 [Fe(CN) 6 ] and the influence of ethanol on the crystal growth is used to control the synthesis of La-Fe PBA. Four different morphologies of La-Fe PBA, such as chamfered hexagonal bipyramid microcrystals, hexagonal flakes, erythrocyte-like microstructure and small flakes, are successfully synthesized by changing the ethanol/water ratio of mixed solvent. The porous LaFeO 3 with the same shape is obtained by calcining the La-Fe PBA at 500 °C, which is subsequently employed as electrodes for battery-type supercapacitor. The erythrocyte-like LaFeO 3 shows remarkable specific capacity (330 C g −1 ) at 1 A g −1 , energy density (23.8 Wh kg −1 ) and power density (400 W kg −1 ) at 1 A g −1 . This work could provide a porous material for high-performance supercapacitors as well as an exciting strategy to develop and design materials with specific morphology.

In this study, a novel nano-La(OH) 3 /porous carbon composites derived from La alginate xerogel with egg-box structure had been successfully synthesized by a gradient heat treatment in nitrogen atmosphere. This facile fabrication strategy can be easily employed to considerably encapsulate La(OH) 3 nanoparticles uniformly into the porous carbon matrix derived from the alginate macromolecule framework. The optimized sample, labeled as LS-550(N), exhibited extremely high phosphate uptake and great selectivity. The adsorption kinetic process dramatically followed pseudo-second-order model. The Langmuir model fitted maximum equilibrium adsorption capacity is 133.58 mg·g −1 . The phosphate adsorption mechanisms could be consist of electrostatic interaction, complexation and ligand exchange interaction on the surface of LS-550(N). The prominent practical applicability of LS-550(N) in the regeneration test suggests that the LS-550(N) could be a potential adsorption candidate for the decontamination of phosphate-containing natural water bodies.

During the planting, storage, or feeding stages, foodstuffs can be easily polluted by mycotoxins such as aflatoxin B 1 , patulin and zearalenone, which are produced by pathogenic microorganisms. Therefore, the removal of these mycotoxins constitutes an active area of research. Herein, we used an Fe/Zn metal–organic framework (MOF) as a precursor to fabricate a novel La–ZnFe 2 O 4 @Fe 3 O 4 @carbon magnetic hybrid composite via a simple absorption–pyrolysis method and explored its photocatalytic performance in the degradation of aflatoxin B 1 , patulin, and zearalenone. La–ZnFe 2 O 4 @Fe 3 O 4 @carbon can effectively degrade 98.37% of aflatoxin B 1 , outperforming Fe 3 O 4 @carbon (69.57%) and ZnFe 2 O 4 @Fe 3 O 4 @carbon (91.39%). Moreover, La–ZnFe 2 O 4 @Fe 3 O 4 @carbon exhibits superior stability and excellent photocatalytic activity for the degradation of patulin (97.35%) and zearalenone (98.52%). Transient photocurrent response measurements reveal that the La doping and the combination with ZnFe 2 O 4 highly promote the separation of photoinduced electron–hole pairs on Fe 3 O 4 @carbon. An electron spin resonance analysis suggests that · OH and · O 2 − are the main active radicals during the photodegradation process. Thus, a plausible photodegradation pathway for the degradation of mycotoxins produced by pathogenic microorganisms is proposed.

Improving the yield of reactive oxygen species and inhibiting the recombination of photogenerated e - and h + have been reliable strategies to accelerate the rate-limiting step for nano photocatalytic materials. A novel magnetic Fe 3 O 4 @La-BiFeO 3 composite with variable molar ratios was successfully synthesized via a facile hydrothermal method for the photo-Fenton-like degradation of norfloxacin (NOR) under visible light irradiation. The comprehensive characterization of the crystal phase purity, morphological structure and elemental composition of the catalyst confirmed the formation of a heterojunction structure between Fe 3 O 4 and La-BiFeO 3 . The effects of the composite molar ratio, initial pH, catalyst addition, and H 2 O 2 concentration on the degradation efficiency were investigated. 20% Fe 3 O 4 @La-BiFeO 3 showed the best catalytic activity with 93.8% removal of NOR after 60 min of reaction and the pseudo-first-order rate constant was 0.05952 min −1 , attributed to the synergistic interaction of the photocatalytic and Fenton-like processes. The excellent stability and recyclability of the catalyst ensured the catalytic reactions continued to occur efficiently. The appropriate amount of Fe 3 O 4 reduced the band gap of the catalyst, and the introduction of a weak magnetic field accelerated the transfer of electrons between interfaces, effectively restrained the recombination of photogenerated e - /h + and directly enhanced the yield of ·OH and O 2 · - . This work not only realized the preparation of a heterogeneous photo-Fenton-like catalyst with high application potential for the degradation of antibiotics, but also provided new prospects for designing efficient catalysts on the basis of theoretical guidance.

The first examples of thioborate-thiosilicates, namely Ca 2 Ln(BS 3 )(SiS 4 ) (Ln = La, Ce, and Gd), are synthesized by rationally designed high-temperature solid-state reactions. They crystalize in the polar space group P 6 3 mc and feature a novel three-dimensional crystal structure in which the discrete [BS 3 ] 3− and [SiS 4 ] 4− anionic groups are linked by Ca 2+ and Ln 3+ cations occupying the same atomic site. Remarkably, all three compounds show comprehensive properties required as promising infrared nonlinear optical materials, including phase-matchable strong second harmonic generation (SHG) responses at 2.05 µm (1.1–1.2 times that of AgGaS 2 ), high laser-induced damage thresholds (7–10 times that of AgGaS 2 ), wide light transmission range (0.45–11 µm), high thermal stabilities (>800 °C), and large calculated birefringence (0.126–0.149 @1064 nm), which justify the material design strategy of combining [BS 3 ] 3− and [SiS 4 ] 4− active units. Theoretical calculations suggest that their large SHG effects originate mainly from the synergy effects of the LnS 6 , BS 3 , and SiS 4 groups. This work not only broadens the scope of research on metal chalcogenides but also provides a new synthetic route for mixed anionic thioborates.

The global detection and potential harm of pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) call for the effective decomposition technology. In this study, the modified β-PbO 2 anodes with different hydrophobicity (Ti/SnO 2 -Sb/La-PbO 2 , Ti/SnO 2 -Sb/La-PbO 2 -PTFE and Ti/SnO 2 -Sb/La-PbO 2 -PVDF) were prepared to decompose aqueous PPCPs, i.e. isoniazid, methotrexate, carbamazepine, sulfamethoxazole and ibuprofen. PTFE and PVDF modification improved the physical property, electrochemical property, stability and safety of β-PbO 2 electrode. Moreover, Ti/SnO 2 -Sb/La-PbO 2 -PVDF had the highest oxygen evolution potential (1.95 V vs. SCE), the largest electroactive area (88.85 cm 2 ), the highest HO • production rate (10.44 mM min −1 m −2 ) and the best degradation performance for all the five PPCPs. The hydrophobic surface increased the proportion of free HO • , resulting in higher radical utilization rate and better degradation performance. The excessive hydrophobicity could decrease the degradation performance of PPCPs with high log K ow due to the relatively large hydrophobic force zone. Furthermore, the hydrophobicity enhanced the mineralization (current) efficiency of isoniazid, and its electrochemical degradation mechanism on Ti/SnO 2 -Sb/La-PbO 2 -PVDF was thoroughly proposed. These results demonstrated that Ti/SnO 2 -Sb/La-PbO 2 -PVDF anode exhibited a good application prospect in treating wastewater containing PPCPs.
