This study aimed to improve the magnetofection of MG-63 osteoblasts by integrating the use of a novel uniform magnetic field with low molecular weight polyethylenimine modified superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (PEI-SPIO-NPs). The excellent characteristics of PEI-SPIO-NPs such as size, zeta potential, the pDNA binding and protective ability were determined to be suitable for gene delivery. The novel uniform magnetic field enabled polyethylenimine-modified superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles/pDNA complexes (PEI-SPIO-NPs/pDNA complexes) to rapidly and uniformly distribute on the surface of MG-63 cells, averting local transfection and decreasing disruption of the membrane caused by the centralization of positively charged PEI-SPIO-NPs, thereby increasing the effective coverage of magnetic gene carriers during transfection, and improving magnetofection efficiency. This innovative uniform magnetic field can be used to determine the optimal amount between PEI-SPIO-NPs and pDNA, as well as screen for the optimal formulation design of magnetic gene carrier under the homogenous conditions. Most importantly, the novel uniform magnetic field facilitates the transfection of PEI-SPIO-NPs/pDNA into osteoblasts, thereby providing a novel approach for the targeted delivery of therapeutic genes to osteosarcoma tissues as well as a reference for the treatment of other tumors.

Cr 2 O 3 is a well-known corrosion resistant oxide used in refractory applications. However, it can oxidize into toxic and water-soluble Cr(VI) compounds upon reaction with calcium aluminate cement phases in the presence of oxygen, which subsequently causes disposal problems after use. This study describes the extent to which chromium in the spinel Mg(Al,Cr) 2 O 4 phase can be oxidized to Cr(VI) when it reacts with the calcium aluminate cement phases C 12 A 7 , CA, CA 2 and free CaO at 1300 °C in air, using XRD, XPS and leaching tests (TRGS 613 standard) as analytical tools. On reaction with CaO, the Mg(Al,Cr III ) 2 O 4 spinel mainly transformed into hauyne (Ca 4 Al 6 Cr VI O 16 ) and Ca 5 Cr 3 O 12 which contains both Cr(IV) and Cr(VI). The reaction of C 12 A 7 and CA with the spinel phase also resulted in the formation of Ca 4 Al 6 CrO 16 . Conversely, the reaction of Mg(Al,Cr III ) 2 O 4 spinel with CA 2 resulted in the formation of only a trace amount of Cr(VI). Water-soluble Cr(VI) leached in large quantities (>100 mg/L) from samples where the Mg(Al,Cr III ) 2 O 4 reacted with either C 12 A 7 or CA. Almost no Cr(VI) leached from the sample when Mg(Al,Cr III ) 2 O 4 reacted with CaO, using the standard TRGS 613 leach test, but a significant amount of Cr(VI) was released into solution when leached with a HCl solution for 12 h. Both Cr(IV) and Cr(VI) present in the Ca 5 Cr 3 O 12 dissolved into acidic solution. Only a small amount of Cr(VI) leached from the sample that resulted when spinel was reacted with CA 2 , even after a prolonged HCl leach. Cr(III) in spinel Mg(Al,Cr) 2 O 4 is very stable and does not leach in either distilled water or acidic solution.

The effects of feeding sequence of reactants on the properties of a MgAl layered double hydroxide (LDH) coating on Mg alloy are reported herein for the first time. Based on the X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectra, MgAl-LDH coatings were successfully obtained with different feeding sequences. However, characterizations of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and electrochemical methods show that the surface morphologies and corrosion resistance of the MgAl-LDH coatings are dependent upon the feeding sequence. Furthermore, the MgAl-LDH coatings were modified in an 8-quinolinol (8HQ) solution by a facile soaking measurement. Energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) maps and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) spectra demonstrate the effective adsorption of 8HQ layer on the MgAl-LDH primer. The high-resolution N 1s XPS spectra manifest the existence of chemisorption owing to formation of a complex chelate, (bis (8-hydroxyquinolinato) magnesium, Mg(HQ) 2 ), between 8HQ anions and dissolved Mg 2+ . The modified MgAl-LDH coatings, which are named as 8HQ@MgAl-LDH coatings in the body text, show significant enhancement in corrosion resistance and remains excellent corrosion protection even exposure to a NaCl aqueous solution for one month. The mechanism of corrosion inhibition for the 8HQ@MgAl-LDH coatings is proposed finally, which mainly includes the increase in water contact angles, Cl − and CO 3 2− anion-exchangeability, and redeposition of Mg(HQ) 2 precipitation. These findings of this study provide some valuable insights into the corrosion protection mechanism of the MgAl-LDH coatings and the designment of a highly corrosion resistant coating on Mg alloy and other lightweight alloys.

We report a strategy to fabricate high quality TiO 2 nanrod array ETLs for efficient PSC devices with Cs 0.05 (MA 0.17 FA 0.83 ) 0.95 Pb(I 0.83 Br 0.17 ) 3 triple cation composition perovskite as light absorption material. Mg doped compact TiO 2 (c-TiO 2 ) was employed as seeds for hydrothermal growth of one-dimensional (1D) TiO 2 nanorod (NR) arrays. Assisted with these seed layers, Mg and Er doped TiO 2 rutile NR arrays were synthesized using tetrabutyltitanate (TBT) and Er(NO 3 ) 3 as Ti and Er precursors, respectively. It was found that uniform, straight and vertical TiO 2 NRs with a high area density were formed using Mg and Er co-modification, improving the pore-filling and crystallization of the triple cation perovskites, facilitating charge separation and suppressing recombination at the perovskite/titania NR interface of the PSC device. The shorter PL decay time with Mg/Er doping compared to the cases without Mg or Er doping is assigned to the more excellent electron extraction from the mixed cation perovskite film. The control device without modification shows an average power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 17.10%. Under the same fabrication conditions, doping of the single element Er or Mg or both Mg and Er enhances the average PCE to 17.54, 18.41 and 18.99% respectively. Our champion cell based on Mg/Er modified TiO 2 NR arrays demonstrates a PCE of 19.11%, exhibiting an enhancement of 10.33% compared with that of the PSCs based on unmodified TiO 2 NR arrays (17.32%). This work provides a simple and efficient interface engineering method to improve the efficiency of the mixed cation PSCs.

In spite of a strong visible light absorbance as far as 600 nm, CaNbO 2 N generally exhibits poor photocatalytic activity under normal conditions because of various structural defects and poor charge mobility. In this work, we have synthesized a series of Mg-modified CaNbO 2 N, i.e. CaNb 1-x Mg x O 2+y N 1-y (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.2), and performed a detailed investigation on their crystal structures, optical absorption and other physicochemical properties. Our results show that there is a slight shrinkage of the unit cell and a blue-shift of absorption edges upon Mg incorporation into CaNbO 2 N. The nitrogen contents as well as defects levels can be effectively tuned by altering the content of Mg. More strikingly, photocatalytic oxygen productions are much improved after Mg modifications under visible light irradiation (λ ≥ 420 nm). An average oxygen production rate as much as ∼126.8 umol h −1 and an apparent quantum efficiency as high as ∼3.4 % at 420 ± 20 nm is achieved for CaNb 0.9 Mg 0.1 O 2+y N 1-y (x = 0.1). These improvements probably stem from a substantial decrease of Nb 4+ defects in CaNbO 2 N as well as slight positive shift of valence band maximum (VBM) after Mg modifications. Meanwhile, photoelectrochemical analysis suggests charge migration is somewhat enhanced in response to Mg modifications.

Dense SrLa( R 0.5 Ti 0.5 )O 4 ( R= Mg, Zn) ceramics were prepared by a standard solid-state reaction method. The single phase with complex K 2 NiF 4 -type layered perovskite structure and I 4/ mmm space group was revealed by XRD, and the refined structure was analyzed by Rietveld analysis. Significantly improved dielectric constant was obtained in SrLa( R 0.5 Ti 0.5 )O 4 ceramics compared to the analogues SrLaAlO 4 and SrLaGaO 4 , which is attributed to the increasing normalized bond lengths of Sr/La-O(1) and Sr/La-O(2a) bonds and the higher polarizability of ( R 0.5 Ti 0.5 ) 3+ than Al 3+ and Ga 3+ . In addition, τ f converts to a positive value with the increase in dielectric constant. The following microwave dielectric properties were obtained in the dense ceramics: ε r =25.5, Qf= 72 000 GHz, τ f = 29 ppm/°C for SrLa(Mg 0.5 Ti 0.5 )O 4 , and ε r =29.4, Qf= 34 000 GHz, τ f = 38 ppm/°C for SrLa(Zn 0.5 Ti 0.5 )O 4. Furthermore, the stability of K 2 NiF 4 -type structure in MLnB O 4 [ M =Ca, Sr, Ba; Ln =Y, Sm, Nd, La; B= Al, Ga, (Mg 0.5 Ti 0.5 ), (Zn 0.5 Ti 0.5 )] compounds was discussed in relation to the tolerance factor of perovskite layer and the radius ratio of M 2+ and Ln 3+ , based on which near-zero τ f values are expected to be obtained in SrLa( R 0.5 Ti 0.5 )O 4 -SrLaAlO 4 and SrLa( R 0.5 Ti 0.5 )O 4 –SrLaGaO 4 unlimited solid solutions.

An active drug delivery vector of Mg-based micromotor is proposed for enhanced intestinal drug mass spectrometry (MS) detection from proof of concept. Taking diabetes as a disease model, insulin nanoparticles (Ins-NPs) were successfully loaded in chitosan (CHI) layer of Mg-based micromotor (Mg/Au/PLGA/CHI@Ins-NPs) due to electrostatic adsorption with PLGA. The penetration ability of micromotors was evaluated on artificial mucin, which is distributed within about 300 μm of the mucus. In addition, in vitro drug delivery and retention was carried out on the isolated small intestine of mice; then, the insulin molecule was determined by ultra-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS). By overcoming the mucus barrier and enhancing retention in intestine through active transport of micromotor, insulin ions at m/z 963.9443, 1156.3287, and 1445.1592 were detected by UPLC-MS and classified as [Insulin + 6H] 6+ , [Insulin + 5H] 5+ , and [Insulin + 4H] 4+ . Notably, the mass-to-charge ratio of insulin ions was detected only in micromotor drug delivery systems compared to drug-loaded inert particles in the isolated small intestine, attributed to the intensive penetration and retention capability of micromotors. Meanwhile, this Mg-based micromotor exhibited good biocompatibility and was easy to be removed for the UPLC-MS detection sample preparation. Overall, we provide a potential strategy to detect the low content of drugs with UPLC-MS technique by combining with active micromotor and further broadening the sensing application for untethered micromotor.

A hybrid material , Ca/Mg-MOF/polyamidoxime (Ca/Mg-MOF/PAO), was synthesized and tested for uranium(VI) uptake in solution. The structure and performance of Ca/Mg-MOF/PAO were comprehensively investigated. Adsorption experiments demonstrated that Ca/Mg-MOF/PAO exhibited an extraordinary saturation capacity of 579.5 mg/g for uranium (VI) at pH = 8, surpassing that of most other adsorbents. The adsorption process of Ca/Mg-MOF/PAO on uranium (VI) conformed to Langmuir and PSO models, suggesting chemical rate control and monolayer adsorption, respectively. Furthermore, Ca/Mg-MOF/PAO displayed excellent adsorption-desorption recovery performance for uranium (VI). Its high adsorption capacity and efficient recoverability position Ca/Mg-MOF/PAO as a material with great potential for extracting uranium (VI) from aqueous media.

Achieving both low dielectric loss (tan δ ) and high temperature stability of ceramic capacitors can greatly broaden their potential application. In this study, the effects of Mg and Al co-substitution on the microstructure and dielectric properties of CCTO-based ceramics were investigated in CaCu 3- x Mg x Ti 4- x Al x O 12 ( x = 0, 0.025, 0.050, and 0.075) ceramics prepared by a sol-gel method. XRD analysis shows that the primary crystalline phase of CCTO is formed in all samples, indicating that Mg 2 + and Al 3+ have entered the lattice. SEM results reveal the co-substitution of Mg and Al inhibits the grain growth, leading to an increase in grain boundary density. All co-substituted samples exhibited low tan δ and excellent temperature stability. Notably, CaCu 2.95 Mg 0.05 Ti 3.95 Al 0.05 O 12 ceramics exhibited an extremely low tan δ of 0.007 (at 10 3 Hz) and its dielectric constant maintained excellent stability over a broad temperature spectrum (−125 to 150 °C), meeting the commercial standards for X8P capacitors. The reduction of tan δ is mainly attributed to the inhibition of grain growth in Mg and Al co-substituted samples, which increases grain boundary density and subsequently suppresses the mobility of oxygen vacancies, leading to an increase in grain boundary resistance. Furthermore, the improvement in temperature stability is ascribed to the reduction in the content of oxygen vacancies and the suppression of electron transitions between Ti 4+ and Ti 3+ as well as Cu 2+ and Cu + in Mg and Al co-substituted samples, resulting in an increase in grain boundary activation energy. These novel findings are hoping to contribute to not only the fabrication of new CCTO-based ceramics with extremely low tanδ and excellent temperature stability but also the application of CCTO-based ceramics at a very broad temperature range in electronic devices, new energy vehicles, aerospace, and polar scientific research equipment.

Water pollution seriously affects the development of society and human life. There are various kinds of pollutants, including soluble pollutants and insoluble floaters on the water surface. Herein, the photocatalyst semiconductor BiOCl and superhydrophobic functional particles Mg(OH)2were deposited on the surfaces of canvas and polyester felt to construct superhydrophobic canvas and polyester felt. The contact angles of the synthetic superhydrophobic canvas and polyester felt were measured as 152° and 155.3°, respectively. The selective adsorption of hexadecane was achieved using the wetting difference between the surface of water and pollutants floating on the surface. For dissolved pollutants, the surface wettability needed to be changed with the help of ethanol. The degradation efficiencies were all greater than 90%, demonstrating the versatility of the synthetic superhydrophobic canvas and polyester felt.

Aqueous rechargeable Mg-ion batteries (ARMIBs) are promising for large-scale energy storage due to the aqueous electrolyte's high safety and low cost. However, the aqueous electrolyte's narrow electrochemical stability window (ESW) significantly hinders the development of ARMIBs, especially the compatibility of electrolytes with anode materials . We first report a TiO 2 (B) anode for ARMIBs that has high compatibility with wide potential aqueous electrolytes (ESW: ∼3.66 V), thus resulting in a low magnesiated potential (∼0.95 V vs. Mg 2+ /Mg), highest capacity (50 mA g −1 : 247.7 mAh g −1 ) reported for Ti-based oxide anodes in aqueous metal-ion batteries thus far, and fast Mg 2+ diffusion kinetics (∼3.49 × 10 −11 cm 2 s −1 ). When the magnesiated TiO 2 (B) (Mg x TiO 2 (B)) anode is paired with V 2 O 5 , the Mg x TiO 2 (B)||V 2 O 5 full cell can deliver high voltage (2.5 V), high capacity (100 mA g −1 : 64.4 mAh g −1 , based on the total electrode mass) and high cycling stability with no capacity decay after 200 cycles at 100 mA g −1 . The versatile intercalation chemistry of TiO 2 (B) observed here is expected to spur the development of high-voltage ARMIBs.

Fluoride contamination has become a global public health problem due to its adverse health effects. The search for efficient and environmentally friendly fluoride removal technology is an urgent issue. Capacitive deionization (CDI) technology has attracted much attention because of its high efficiency, easy operation and environmental friendliness. Electrode materials are crucial for CDI systems. Herein, Mg-MOF-derived dendritic carbon materials (MMCNF) are successfully grown in situ on lignin nanofibers via solvothermal synthesis. Due to the high specific surface area of Mg-MOF and the structural stability of lignin nanofibers, it has a high specific capacitance of 158 F·g −1 at a current density of 1 A·g −1 . And the capacitance retention of 93.13 % is obtained after 5000 charge/discharge cycles. The CDI unit equipped with MMCNF electrodes effectively reduced the fluoride ion concentration to 1.21 mg·L −1 in a 10 mg·L −1 simulated fluoridated wastewater, exhibiting a maximum adsorption capacity of 20.64 mg·g −1 . It is lower than the drinking water standard of 1.5 mg·L −1 set by the World Health Organization. This work offers new electrode materials and technological options for the removal of fluoride ions from wastewater in the future.
