A method has been developed for the determination of zirconium (Zr), hafnium (Hf), niobium (Nb), tantalum (Ta), molybdenum (Mo), tungsten (W), and tin (Sn) in seawater by quadrupole inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (Q-ICP-MS). The method is based on separation of the seven elements by extraction chromatography using N-benzoyl-N-phenylhydroxylamine (BPHA) supported on a microporous acrylic ester polymeric resin. The optimized procedure indicates that the BPHA resin has high selective adsorption for Zr, Nb, Mo, Sn, Hf, Ta, and W (known as fluoride soluble elements), whereas other interference and matrix elements are minimally adsorbed. The optimized eluent mixture with their molarity gives satisfactory recoveries for all analytes. The recovery can be achieved 99% for Zr, 97% for Nb, 97% for Mo, 99% for Sn, 99% for Hf, 95% for Ta, and 98% for W, respectively, by eluting with 6 mL of 6 mol L − 1 HF/1 mol L − 1 HCl. Furthermore, the technique for separation and enrichment of these elements provides a low total method blank. The detection limits for this method are 0.5 ppt for Zr, 0.2 ppt for Nb, 1.7 ppt for Mo, 1.0 ppt for Sn, 0.1 ppt for Hf, 0.1 ppt for Ta, and 0.3 ppt for W, respectively. The validity of the method is evaluated by replicate analyses of seawater reference materials; the precision of the results is better than 3% (RSD, n = 4), and the results are in good agreement with certified values. The established procedure has proved to be both practical and effective for seawater sample analyses.

Tantalum carbide ceramics with an overall composition of TaC 0.6 were prepared by hot pressing at 1700 °C for 1 h under 30 MPa pressure with fcc TaC and bcc Ta powder as starting materials. Effects of adding 0–30 mol% Cu on densification, phase formation, microstructural evolution , mechanical properties and electrical conductivity of the obtained composite ceramics were investigated. Full density could be reached at 20 mol% Cu addition and above. Reactions between TaC and Ta resulted in the final phases of hexagonal Ta 2 C and rhombohedral ζ-Ta 4 C 3-x . Plate-shaped ζ laminate grew in both TaC and Ta 2 C and consequently had their sizes confined by the parental grains. Addition of 20–30 mol% Cu could significantly grow the intermediate Ta 2 C grains, hence controlling length of the ζ laminates precipitated in them to form bimodal microstructures consisting of large grains. The 20 mol% Cu composition had a better flexural strength (706 ± 46 MPa) and fracture toughness (9.2 ± 1.7 MPa m 1/2 ). Electrical resistivity at room temperature of the composites decreased with Cu content from 1.03 μΩ m at 0 mol% addition to 0.12 μΩ m at 30 mol% Cu.

Among the tin-based composites, stannous sulfide (SnS) is a prospective material to serve as an anode for lithium-ion batteries (LiBs) owing to its high theoretical-capacity, layer-structure for fast Li+ diffusion paths, and low toxicity. However, severe volume expansion/shrinkage exfoliates the electrode coating, leading to the severe loss of active materials. Herein, free volume was introduced into SnS to relieve the sequelae of volume expansion/shrinkage creatively, which effectively improved the cyclability of the SnS-based anode. The as-synthesized SnS/G-15% exhibited overall optimal electrochemical performances, i.e., the highest reversible capacity and best cyclability over pure SnS, SnS/G-5% and SnS/G-25%. Ex situ scanning electron microscopy images also illustrated that no cracks were generated in the cycled SnS/G-15% electrode. This work highlights an efficient and cost effective approach for the synthesis of long-cycle life and high-cyclability anodes.

The preparation of the composite films on aluminum alloy 5052 (AA 5052) by the simple brush coating method in order to improve the corrosion resistance of aluminum alloy is the urgent need. However, some preparation methods, such as chemical vapor deposition, heat treatment, are relatively high cost and their preparation condition is very rigorous. In this paper, boron nitride and silane for boron nitride (h-BN)-dodecyl trimethoxysilane (DTMS)- (3-Aminopropyl) triethoxysilane (APTES) are used to improve corrosion resistance of AA 5052 with a simple and low-cost method. The corrosion resistance of the film has been characterized by electrochemical test in the 0.5 M H 2 SO 4 + 2 ppm HF acid solution. The results show that the protection efficiency of the h-BN-DTMS-APTES composite film reaches 99.97%, which greatly improves the corrosion resistance of the aluminum alloy 5052. When the sample is immersed into a 0.5 M H 2 SO 4 + 2 ppm HF aqueous solution for 120 h, the protection efficiency of the h-BN-DTMS-APTES composite film reaches 96.49% with good stability.

Waste printed circuit boards (WPCBs) are an essential component in electronic waste (e-waste), and contain a number of valuable metals (e.g., Cu, Sn) as well as non-metal resources (e.g., brominated epoxy resin). Currently, most of the non-metals are disposed of in landfills, causing environmental problems. In this study, a combination of pyrolysis and physical separation is proposed to recover valuable resources, including both metals and non-metals, from WPCBs. The WPCBs were pyrolyzed at 700°C under a nitrogen atmosphere. Pyrolysis oil and gas can be reused as fuel for the pyrolysis of WPCBs. Metals like copper, tin, and iron in the pyrolysis residues were separated by selective crushing, sieving, gravity separation, and magnetic separation. Finally, rich copper (Cu 82.21%, Sn 1.47%), rich tin (Cu 53.20%, Sn 13.43%), rich iron (Fe > 63%), and non-metal products were obtained, and the total recoveries of copper, tin, and iron were 95%, 86%, and 76%, respectively.

We prepared Ti 1.4 V 0.6 Ni ribbons by arc-melting and subsequent melt-spinning techniques. Ti 1.4 V 0.6 Ni + x Mg ( x = 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5 and 3, wt.%) composite alloys were obtained by the mechanical ball-milling method. The structures and hydrogen storage properties of alloys were investigated. Ti 1.4 V 0.6 Ni + x Mg composite alloys contained icosahedral quasicrystalline phase, Ti 2 Ni-type phase, β-Ti solid-solution phase and metallic Mg. The electrochemical and gaseous hydrogen storage properties of alloys were improved with Mg addition. Ti 1.4 V 0.6 Ni + 2 Mg alloy showed maximum electrochemical discharge capacity of 282.5 mAh g −1 as well as copacetic high-rate discharge ability of 82.3% at the discharge current density of 240 mA g −1 compared with that of 30 mA g −1 , and the cycling life achieved above 200 mAh g −1 after 50 consecutive cycles of charging and discharging. The hydrogen absorption/desorption properties of Ti 1.4 V 0.6 Ni + x Mg ( x = 1, 2 and 3, wt.%) alloys were better than Ti 1.4 V 0.6 Ni. Ti 1.4 V 0.6 Ni + 3 Mg alloy also exhibited a favorable hydrogen absorption capacity of 1.53 wt.%. The improvement in the hydrogen storage characteristics caused by adding Mg may be ascribed to better hydrogen diffusion and anti-corrosion ability.

Design and fabrication of 2D multi-metal oxalate materials with desired electrochemical activities are highly needed in electrocatalysis and supercapacitors . Herein, assisted by the deep eutectic solvothermal (DES) method, multi-metal oxalate consisting of Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, and Zn with different morphology was the controlled synthesis. It was found that the structure and composition of DES can control the nucleation and growth of multi-metal oxalate. High molecular PEG and gradually slow-release oxalic acid are in favor of the formation of 2D structure, while the low molecular EG and abundant oxalic acid are positive for the formation of 3D nanoparticles. The properties of the obtained multi-metal oxalates are confirmed by multi-analysis, which involves the single Ni-oxalate phase, morphological evolution ranging from particles to nanosheets, and complex composition up to five metal elements including Fe, Co, Ni, Cu as well as Zn. Notably, the well-designed 2D (FeCoNiCuZn)(C 2 O 4 )·2H 2 O nanosheets exhibit an ultralow overpotential of 334 mV at 100 mA cm −2 for OER as electrocatalyst with prolonged durability over 30 h at 10 mA cm −2 and a high specific capacity of 1337 C g −1 for aqueous supercapacitor.

As important ingredients in lithium-ion battery, the Coulombic efficiency and power density greatly impact the electrochemical performances. Although recent literatures have reported nano-porous materials to enhance the specific capacities, intrinsic drawbacks such as poor initial Coulombic efficiency and low volumetric capacity could not be avoided. Herein, we propose a strategy to prepare carbon supported MoO 2 spheres used for lithium-ion battery with high volumetric capacity density. A high initial Coulombic efficiency of 76.5% is obtained due to limited solid electrolyte interface film formed on the exposed surface. Meantime, the sample with an optimal carbon content and a proper structural strength reveals a higher reversible capacity of 956 mA h g −1 than the theoretical capacity of crystalline MoO 2 (838 mA h g −1 ) and a high capacity retention ratio of 96.4% after 100 cycles at 0.5 A g −1 . And an effective compaction capacity density (under 5 MPa) of 670 mA h cm −3 of the spheres proves its potential value in practical applications.

The intrinsic low lattice thermal conductivities originates from the complex anion bonding environment make quaternary chalcogenides potential thermoelectric materials. Here, the bonding environment of Se atom in Cu 2.1 Mn 0.9 SnSe 4 is further regulated by substituting Mn 2+ with equimolar pairing elements (Ag + and In 3+ ). The increase in both bond length and angle, together with the reduction in bond strength of Ag Se and In Se bonds, cause the doped samples to display strong anharmonicities ( γ ∼ 1.84–2.04). And the weakened bond strength also lower the sound velocities. Consequently, the κ L of the doped samples is effectively constrained, achieving a minimum value of 0.55 W⸱m −1 ⸱K −1 at 673 K in x = 0.10 sample. Ultimately, a zT value of 0.53 at 673 K is attained in x = 0.10 sample. The modification of bonding environment around anion is considered as an effective mean to optimize the thermoelectric performance of quaternary chalcogenides.

Ferromagnetic order in 2D2D materials has triggered widespread interest because of their applications in spintronic devices. Monolayer 1T-VSe 2 , as a recently emerged candidate of 2D2D ferromagnetic material, exhibits complicated behaviors that contradict the theoretical predictions. In this work, a systematic investigation is presented on the evolution of the transport properties in VSe 2 thin flakes controlled by gate voltage. Notably, for the first time, a paramagnetic-to-ferromagnetic transition is realized in a VSe 2 thin flake using a field-effect transistor setup with solid ion conductor of polycrystalline Li 1+ x + y Al x (Ti 2− y Ge y )P 3− z Si z O 12 serving as the gate dielectric. The Curie temperature determined from the electrical transport measurements is ≈40 K. The electric-field-controlled ferromagnetism in exfoliated VSe 2 flakes provides an excellent platform for developing advanced spintronics as well as investigating unusual emergent physics in 2D systems.

A novel light “on–off” photoelectrochemical sensing for the sensitive determination of hydroquinone was developed based on the porphyrin-functionalized Au nanoparticles on graphene (porphyrin/AuNPs/graphene). Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) were firstly modified onto graphene sheets using NaBH 4 as reductant and the porphyrin/AuNPs/graphene nanocomposites were then synthesized by self-assembly decoration of sulfhydryl porphyrin on AuNPs modified graphene sheets by S–Au bond. The porphyrin/AuNPs/graphene nanocomposites were characterized by transmission electron microscopy , X-ray photoelectron , and ultraviolet–visible absorption spectroscopies . The nanocomposites showed good dispersion in water and on indium tin oxide (ITO) surface. The resulting porphyrin/AuNPs/graphene modified ITO electrode showed good photoelectrochemical behavior toward the oxidation of hydroquinone (HQ) at 0 V under white light illumination. The proposed photoelectrochemical method could detect hydroquinone with a wide linear response ranging from 20 to 240 nM ( R =0.9914). The detection limit was 4.6 nM for HQ ( S / N =3). Thus, the nanocomposites would be expected to be a novel photoactive material for photoelectrochemical biosensing.

The extended cyclability of LiNi 0.5 Mn 1.5 O 4 (LNMO) electrodes featuring different water-based binders is here reported. LNMO electrodes with guar gum (GG) binders show a relatively stable cycle performance at 0 °C and room temperature. However, water-based binders exhibit higher capacity fade than those with polyvinylidene fluoride (PVdF) binder at 50 °C. Although PVdF binder has a lower adhesion force than CMC and GG; PVdF-based electrodes exhibit better capacity retention than those with water-based binders at 50 °C over 1000 cycles. Finally, operando Differential Electrochemical Mass Spectrometry (DEMS) experiments were carried out to analyze the evolution of volatile decomposition products formed over cycling at 1C and 30 °C of CMC-, GG- and PVdF-based LNMO electrodes. CO 2 and H 2 gas evolutions increase remarkably at both high temperatures and high potentials, i.e., ~ 4.7 V.
