As novel two-dimensional materials, MBenes derived from bulk ternary metal borides (MAB phase) have attracted increasing attention but are limited by their preparation strategy. In this work, MoxBy (MBene) derivatives with an accordion-like structure were successfully prepared by completely etching an Al layer from MoAlB via a molten-salt method. The thermal behaviors, crystal structure, and surface chemical state were analyzed using DSC/TG, XRD and XPS analyses, respectively. The micro-morphology of the obtained MBene was then characterized using scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy accompanied by EDS mappings. The results reveal that the MBene synthesized at 620 °C (abbreviated as MBene-620) demonstrates its characteristic (020) peak and layered structure. When used as an advanced anode for Li-ion batteries (LIBs), the MBene delivers excellent electrochemical performances with a reversible specific capacity of 638.2 mA h g−1 after 100 cycles at a current density of 0.1 A g−1. As a promising green strategy, this molten-salt method provides a new opportunity to explore the wide-ranging applications of MBene series, particularly in new energy fields of LIBs.

The dielectric layer plays a key role in regulating electromagnetic wave broadband scattering based on meta-surface technology. Herein, the physical properties of composite powder, prepared by spray drying of CaO-B 2 O 3 -SiO 2 (CBS) glass-ceramic powder and Al 2 O 3 in different mass ratios, are systematically investigated. Meanwhile, a high enthalpy atmospheric plasma spraying equipment is utilized to prepare CBS/Al 2 O 3 composite coatings , and the morphology, physical properties and dielectric properties of the composite coating are analyzed. The XRD and DSC data of the composite coating reveal that the crystallization behavior of β-CaSiO 3 and CaB 2 O 4 gradually disappear with the increase of Al 2 O 3 content. Hence, only CaAl 2 Si 2 O 8 phase is observed during heat treatment. The experimental results confirm that the dielectric properties of CBS/Al 2 O 3 composite coating conform to the rule of mixture for composite materials. Also, the dielectric properties are affected by porosity and crystallization rate.

A method for in situ fabrication of Al@C nanocomposite energetic additives through pulsed discharge in liquid cyclohexane has been proposed. The obtained Al@C nanocomposites consist of large aluminum nanoparticles (over 100 nm) enveloped by fullerenes and a carbon matrix with smaller aluminum particles (under 100 nm) embedded within. DSC–TGA curves indicate that the heat release of Al@C is higher than that of micron-sized and nano-sized aluminum particles. Al@C nanocomposites effectively reduce the ignition delay for liquid fuels. The energy efficiency of this method is much higher than that of continuous arc ablation, with a yield of up to 2.5 mg/min. This method allows for the simple, convenient, and safe fabrication of energetic additives, presenting a promising prospect for large-scale industrial production.

Ion-imprinted thermosensitive chitosan derivative (ITC) was successfully synthesized through a novel gradient heating process towards applications in heavy metal remediation, using Cu 2+ template paired with N -isopropylacrylamide (NIPAM) monomer. SEM, DSC, FTIR and Raman spectroscopy were used to characterize the structure and properties of ITC. The phase change temperature (PCT) of ITC was 35.31 °C in the heating cycle, whereas in the cooling cycle the PCT for ITC was 26.27 °C. The adsorption capacity of ITC for Cu 2+ at 45 °C (> PCT) was 88.94 mg/g. Desorption rate of 98.90 % was achieved after washing with ultra-pure water at 20 °C (< PCT). An adsorption capacity of 85 mg/g and a desorption rate of 97 % sustained after five cycles reuse. The adsorption capacity for Cu 2+ was measured at 80.23 mg/g under other seven interfering metal ions. The adsorption kinetics and adsorption isotherm fitted pseudo-second-order and Langmuir equation, respectively.

The present study aimed to develop heat sealable soybean polysaccharide (SSPS)/gelatin blend films intended to be used as edible food packaging materials. The films were fabricated by solution casting method using SSPS/gelatin blends and plasticized by glycerol. The results indicated that the heat sealability, stretchability and resistance to fracture of the films were significantly improved by blending SSPS with gelatin. The incorporation of gelatin into SSPS films also increased the thermal stability but decreased the water solubility, rigidity and water vapor permeability of the films. ATR-FTIR spectra and DSC results indicated strong interactions between SSPS and gelatin. The studies of optical properties, SEM, AFM, and XRD revealed that SSPS and gelatin were compatible to a certain degree in this blend system. Packaging tests confirmed that the blend films have showing potential as edible material in food packaging.

Dehydration of methyl lactate (ML) obtained from biomass is a sustainable route for the production of methyl acrylate (MA). Herein, we demonstrate that cesium-exchanged Al-rich Beta zeolite (Cs-Beta) is highly efficient for the dehydration of ML to MA, exhibiting full ML conversion with 87.4% MA yield at 340 °C. In situ FT-IR spectra and kinetic studies provide evidence that the ML dehydration on the Cs-Beta zeolite follows a forward ion-exchange/dehydration/reverse ion-exchange reaction pathway. Model experiments, DFT calculations, TG-DSC analysis, and FT-IR spectra showed that coke formation competes with the dehydration of ML to MA. Kinetic studies and theoretical simulations demonstrate that cesium cations in the micropores of Beta zeolite have a strong steric hindrance, suppressing the formation of oligomers and coke. These results offer new insights for developing highly selective and stable catalysts for the dehydration of ML to MA in the future.

A series of nitrogen-rich heterocyclic 1H,1′H-5,5′-bistetrazole-1,1′-diolate salts, namely, 1,2,4-triazolium (2), 3-amino-1,2,4-triazolium (3), 4-amino-1,2,4-triazolium (4), 3,5-diamino-1,2,4-triazolium (5), 2-methylimidazolium (6), imidazolium (7), pyrazolium (8), 3-amino-5-hydroxypyrazolium (9), dicyandiamidine (10), and 2,4-diamino-6-methyl-1,3,5-triazin (11), was synthesized with cations. These energetic salts were fully characterized through FT-IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and elemental analysis. The structures of 2, 3·7H2O, 6·2H2O, 8, and 10·4H2O were further confirmed through single crystal X-ray diffraction. Their thermal stabilities were investigated through differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The results indicated that all of the salts possess excellent thermal stabilities with decomposition temperatures ranging from 225.7 °C to 314.0 °C. On the basis of the Kamlet–Jacobs formula, we carefully calculated their detonation velocities and detonation pressures. All of the salts, except 11, exhibit promising detonation performances with a detonation pressure of 20.23–28.69 GPa and a detonation velocity of 7050–8218 m s−1. These values are much higher than those of TNT. The impact sensitivities of the compounds were determined via a Fall hammer test. All of the compounds show excellent impact sensitivities of >50 J, and this finding is higher than that of TATB (50 J). Therefore, these ionic salts with excellent energetic properties could be applied as new energetic materials.

Nitroguanidine (NQ) is a commonly used explosive, which has been widely used for both civilian and military explosive applications. However, the weak flowability and mechanical performance limit its application. In this work, mechanical performance and thermodynamic stability of NQ crystals were improved by controlling crystal morphologies in the crystallization process. Typical NQ crystals with multiple morphologies and single crystal form were obtained in the presence of additives during the cooling crystallization. The morphology controlled NQ crystals showed higher density, unimodal crystal size distribution and enhanced flowability. The additives showed the inhibitory effect on the nucleation of NQ crystals by in-situ FBRM and PVM determination, and the mechanism was analyzed by means of morphological prediction and molecular simulation. Furthermore, the morphology controlled NQ crystals suggested higher thermodynamic stability according to the calculation of entropy, enthalpy, Gibbs free energy and apparent activation energy on the basis of DSC results.

The hyaluronic acid (HA) fibers scaffold with an extracellular matrix mimic structure has been prepared via lyophilization. The morphology of the HA fibers varying the concentration from 0.05 wt% to 0.15 wt% was characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM). The diameter of HA fibers increased and the morphology changed from fiber to sheet-like structure as the concentration of HA solution increased. To enhance the water-resistance, the pure HA fiber membranes were chemical cross-linked by 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide hydrochloride (EDC), and confirmed by fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectra. In vitro degradation behavior of cross-linked HA fiber membranes in both of water and PBS solutions was investigated, the physical properties were also studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetry (TG). The results showed that the bonding water capacity increased after crosslinking, and indicated that the crosslinked HA fibers could be used as scaffold in tissue engineering.

Natural gas hydrate (NGH) in marine is usually reserved in the pores or cracks of weakly cemented argillaceous siltstones. Moreover, the hydrates are susceptible to variations in temperature and pressure conditions when water-based drilling fluids (WBDFs) are drilled into hydrate reservoirs, leading to the hydrate in-situ decomposition and severe sand production. In this work, an inexpensive and facilely prepared biomimetic wellbore stabilizer with strong adsorption of multiple hydrogen bonds was prepared by fusing catechol-rich tannic acid (TA) and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) with polyol hydroxyl adsorption function, referred to as TA-PVA complex (TA-PVA). TA-PVA was added to WBDFs to strengthen the NGH reservoir wellbore for ensuring the safety of drilling process in a wide temperature range (2-60℃). The microscopic characterization of TA-PVA and its cohesion mechanism with argillaceous siltstone was investigated by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). The mechanical properties of skeleton of the artificial hydrate cores were evaluated by compressive strength test, with maximum compressive strength reaching 0.45 MPa. And the adhesion force of TA-PVA to the probe modified by silica microsphere (PSM) was further studied by AFM. Meanwhile, the adhesion forces between TA-PVA and cyclopentane hydrate particles were measured at 1.5℃. Adhesion test results demonstrate that TA-PVA can bond clay particles, quartz sand and hydrate particles together. In detail, the adhesion force between TA-PVA and PSM reaches more than 164.46 mN/m, the adhesion force between TA-PVA droplet and cyclopentane hydrate particle reaches 43.19 mN/m. The differential scanning calorimetry (DSC)curves demonstrate that TA-PVA releases no heat between 0 and 60 °C, indicating that TA-PVA has no impact on the decomposition of NGH, showing the potential to maintain the integrity of NGH reservoir.

With the continuous development of advanced fuel and engine technology, the boundary between liquid and solid fuel is more and more blurred, so the development of new solid-liquid two-phase fuels has become a major opportunity and challenge. Herein, two kinds of [email protected] energetic particles ( [email protected] and [email protected] ) were fabricated by an in-situ electrostatic self-assembly method. The thermal property, ignition and combustion performances of [email protected] are characterized by TG-DSC, CO 2 laser ignition and constant-volume combustion experiments.

The core–shell structured nanofibers are routinely fabricated by coaxial solution and single-nozzle emulsion electrospinning of two polymers. Herein, the core–shell structured polymeric nanofibers were electrospun from mixed solutions of poly(ether urethane) (PEU) with poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) or other biodegradable aliphatic polyesters via a single-nozzle spinneret. For comparison, the mixed solutions electrospinning of poly(carbonate urethane) (PCU) with these polyesters including PCL was also conducted. The morphologies and hierarchical structures of the as-spun nanofibers were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), in vitro lipase degradation, differential scanning calorimeter (DSC), and Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) analyses. It was shown that the blends of PEU with PCL or other biodegradable aliphatic polyesters were solely electrospun into the core–shell structured nanofibers with PEU as a shell and PCL or other biodegradable aliphatic polyesters as a core. The thickness of core/shell layers from 833/606 to 193.3/54.2 μm was adjustable by varying the feeding mass ratio from 1:3 to 3:1 of PEU to PCL or other biodegradable aliphatic polyesters. In DSC analysis, the Tonset of PEU@PCL core–shell fiber was 1.31 °C higher than that of the PCL fiber, while Tm was approximate. Furthermore, changing the electrospinning solvents of PEU with PCL or other biodegradable aliphatic polyesters retained the formation of core–shell nanofibers. In contrast, the blends of PCU with these polyesters tended to form co-continuous structured nanofibers. The effects of the physicochemical properties of mixed solutions on the charged liquid droplets, whipped jets, and morphology of the electrospun nanofibers were also inspected. The creation of core–shell nanofibers from the blends of PEU with PCL or other biodegradable aliphatic polyesters was most likely due to the interaction between the inherent thermodynamic phase separation of the polymers and their external stretching kinetic phase separation during electrospinning.
