The excessive use of pesticides does great harm to environment and human health, a high performance sensor is urgently needed for the management of pesticides contamination. Herein, a novel graphene electrochemical transistor (GECT) for the detection of methyl parathion (MP) was successfully fabricated for the first time. A single layer of graphene was covered between the source and drain electrodes by the wet transfer method to act as channel for the transistor. Au-ZrO 2 nanocomposites were electrodeposited at graphene channel of the device, considering the special affinity of ZrO 2 nanoparticles toward phosphate group and electrocatalytic ability of Au nanoparticles. The sensing mechanism was attributed to the change of carrier concentration in channel induced by the electrochemical reaction of MP at the graphene channel, which built up the mathematic relationship between the change of channel current and the concentration of MP. Different modified materials and electrodeposition conditions were compared and optimized. Due to the high carrier mobility of graphene and excellent catalytic performance of Au-ZrO 2 nanocomposites in the channel, the developed sensor showed a limit of detection as low as 0.1 ng/mL and ultra-wide linear range from 0.4 ng/mL to 7 μg/mL, which are comparable or superior to those using the large-scale instruments. Meanwhile, the device exhibited good selectivity toward usual interferents and high accuracy for detection of MP in Chinese cabbage samples, demonstrating the promising practicality of the devices. It is expected that GECT can act as a desirable transducer platform for highly sensitive and selective detection of pesticides.

8.7 mol% Y 2 O 3 -ZrO 2 (Y 0.16 Zr 0.84 O 1.92 ) precursor was synthesized by the co-precipitation method using ammonia as the precipitant. The Y 0.16 Zr 0.84 O 1.92 powders calcined at 800 °C show a pure c-ZrO 2 phase. The average crystallite size of the powders is 12.4 nm and weakly agglomerated to an average particle size of 15.5 nm. Y 0.16 Zr 0.84 O 1.92 transparent ceramics were then successfully fabricated by pre-sintering at 1350 °C for 2 h and HIP post-treatment at 1750 °C for 1 h under 200 MPa without sintering additives. The in-line transmittance of Y 0.16 Zr 0.84 O 1.92 ceramics (1 mm thick) exceeds 50.3% in the region of 400–850 nm, reaching about 65.3% at 800 nm.

The addition of dopant(s) is an effective strategy to regulate the microstructure and properties of ZrO 2 -based ceramics. In this study, we investigated the effects of ternary element alloying, namely tantalum (Ta), niobium (Nb), and hafnium (Hf) elements, on the microstructure and transformability of ZrO 2 nanocrystallites in a ZrO 2 -SiO 2 nanocrystalline glass-ceramic (NCGC) during sintering and thermal treatments. The ternary dopants enhanced the transformability of tetragonal ZrO 2 (t-ZrO 2 ) nanocrystallites during sintering, i.e., the dopants acted as t-ZrO 2 destabilizer. The Ta, Nb and Hf elements dissolved in ZrO 2 nanocrystallites, forming ZrO 2 solid solution. Meanwhile, lamella nanotwins were formed within many ZrO 2 nanocrystallites. No obvious segregation of dopants was detected at ZrO 2 grain boundaries. t-ZrO 2 and monoclinic (m) ZrO 2 nanocrystallites were metastable in thermal treatments process, with “t” to “m” and the reverse “m” to “t” polymorphic transformation occurred simultaneously. Meanwhile, t-ZrO 2 and m-ZrO 2 nanocrystallites had a great tendency to grow larger during thermal treatments.

To enhance the corrosion resistance of magnesium alloys , an organic-inorganic coating of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) hybridized with ZrO 2 nanoparticles is developed, where the PDMS is selected as the polymeric matrix for superhydrophobic surface, and nano-ZrO 2 particles as a physical barrier to strengthen and densify the polymeric matrix. The nanocomposite materials were characterized by field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), Fourier transform infrared spectrophotometry (FT-IR), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Electrochemical, dropping corrosion, and salt spray tests were carried out to evaluate the effect of the amount of ZrO 2 on the corrosion property of the PDMS-ZrO 2 coatings. Thermal stability, hydrophobicity , and corrosion resistance of the composite coatings are substantially improved by the introducing ZrO 2 modifier into PDMS matrix. Depending on the ZrO 2 content, the PDMS-ZrO 2 hybrids exhibit superior corrosion resistance, where the corrosion current density of PDMS-ZrO 2 coatings containing 10% (wt.%) ZrO 2 decreases about five orders of magnitude compared with Mg alloy substrate. Furthermore, it is noteworthy that ZrO 2 nanoparticles are filled in the PDMS matrix to provide a long-term protection in the salt spray test up to 210 h. The PDMS-ZrO 2 coatings demonstrate an excellent shielding ability for the Mg alloy, which is attributed to the strong hydrophobic surface of PDMS and compact network structure separated by the physical barrier of ZrO 2 nanoparticles in the PDMS chains. The proposed mixed matrix membrane guides a design direction for highly water-repellent coating with a long-term corrosion protection performance.

Novel luminescent and amorphous La2O3–ZrO2:Eu3+ (LZE) nanofibrous membranes with robust softness are fabricated for the first time via a facile electrospinning technique. By incorporating zirconium oxide, the as-prepared lanthanum oxide nanofibrous membranes can be dramatically changed from extreme fragility to robust softness. Meanwhile, the softness and luminescent performance of LZE nanofibrous membranes can be finely controlled by regulating the doping concentration of zirconium oxide and europium in lanthanum oxide nanofibers. Additionally, the crystal structure analysis using X-ray diffractometer and high resolution transmission electron microscopy measurements have confirmed the correlation between the amorphous structure and softness. Furthermore, LZE membranes show the characteristic emission of Eu3+ corresponding to 5D0, 1, 2–7F0, 1, 2, 3, 4 transitions due to an efficient energy transfer from O2− to Eu3+. The LZE nanofibrous membranes with the optimum doping Eu3+ concentration of 3 mol% exhibit excellent softness and luminescent properties, which make the materials to have potential applications in fluorescent lamps and field emission displays.

Imines were synthesized from benzyl alcohol and amines by using catalysts of gold nanoparticles supported on ZrO 2 (Au/ZrO 2 ). The effects of reaction time, temperature, gold loadings and base were investigated. High yields were achieved under moderate conditions (60 °C) in the presence of KOCH 3 . For instance, the yield of N -benzylidenebenzylamine produced from benzyl alcohol and benzylamine on 3 wt% Au/ZrO 2 is 87 %. The synthesis of imine involves two reaction steps: selective oxidation of benzyl alcohol to benzaldehyde and the coupling reaction of amines with benzaldehyde. In the first step, the base promotes the selective oxidation. The reactions of benzyl alcohol with three different amines, aniline, n -butylamine and benzylamine, were conducted to produce corresponding imines. The results show that the amine with stronger nucleophilicity has better ability to react with benzaldehyde in the second step, resulting in higher yield of the corresponding imine. We proposed a tentative mechanism for the synthesis process.

Digital light processing (DLP) is considered as one of the most promising additive manufacturing technologies to process ceramics. However, the potential defects produced in the debinding and sintering process extremely restrict ceramic application . In this work, a plasticizer which effectively inhibits defects of the green body in debinding process was investigated. The effects of plasticizer (Polyethylene glycol 200) on the rheological behavior and curing property of the slurry were discussed. In addition, the debinding process and the mechanical of zirconia parts with different PEG200 contents were studied. Adding 20 vol% PEG200 could efficiently suppress the defects in debinding process, and the flexural strength increased from 302 ± 15 to 1210 ± 25 MPa of the ZrO 2 ceramic sintered at 1600 °C. The superior biocompatibility and mechanical property reveal that the DLP zirconia has a promising application prospect of biology dental ceramic prostheses.

Guar fracturing technology has been considered as a kind of popular EOR technology, but the weak static suspension capacity becomes a challenge due to the poor temperature resistance and stability of guar fracturing fluid. The main goal of this investigation is to explore the effect of different factors on the high-pressure static sand suspension of guar gum fracturing fluid by a synthetic efficient nano-ZrO 2 cross-linker. In particular, a mechanism of static suspended sand of nano-ZrO 2 cross-linker is analyzed by microscopic simulation. The adsorption performance of guar fracturing fluid on the shale surface is also studied for analyzing the environmental pollution and damage of guar gum fracturing fluid to shale reservoirs after cross-linking in this investigation. The results obtained that the inclusion of a small content of nano-ZrO 2 cross-linker (0.4%) leads to an apparent increase of fracturing fluid viscosity and decrease in the falling quality of gravel (104 mPa·s and 0.3 g) compared to the classical cross-linker (63 mPa·s and 3.5 g). The lower adsorption capacity of guar fracturing fluid containing nano-ZrO 2 cross-linker on the shale surface means that it has a weaker pollution ability to the shale reservoir than the commercially available cross-linker. Meanwhile, the grid structure density formed by nano-cross-linker and guar gum is considered to be the key factor to significantly change the suspended sand capacity. The investigation of nano-cross-linker cannot only provide necessary theoretical technology and data support for the stability of water-based fracturing fluid, efficient sand carrying, and the development of water-based fracturing technology, but also effectively protect the underground shale reservoir.

Metal dioxide nanoparticles (NPs) are produced in ever-increasing amounts and widely used in industrial, medical and consumer products. They may pose potential risks to the environment. In this study we quantitatively evaluated the phytoavailability of CeO 2 NPs, ZrO 2 NPs and SiO 2 NPs to wheat ( Triticum aestivum L.). Metal dioxide NPs showed distinct differences in uptake, with uptake rate constants of 90.2 ± 9.9, 12.2 ± 2.5, 0.4 ± 0.02 and 0.9 ± 0.1 L kg −1 h −1 for ZrO 2 NPs, CeO 2 NPs, SiO 2 NPs (13 nm) and SiO 2 NPs (25 nm), respectively. However, such difference cannot be generalized by single factor of NP characteristics and/or root damage. This study provides fundamental information for NP uptake by crop plants.

The catalytic isomerization of glucose to fructose plays a pivotal role in the application of biomass as a feedstock for chemicals. Herein, we propose a facile solid-state-grinding strategy to construct ZrO2/MgO mixed oxides, which offered an excellent fructose yield of over 34.55% and a high selectivity of 80.52% (80 °C, 2 h). The co-mingling of amphiphilic ZrO2with MgO improved the unfavorable moderate/strongly basic site distribution on MgO, which can prohibit the side reactions during the reaction and enhance the fructose selectivity. Based on the catalyst characterizations, MgO was deposited on the ZrO2surface by plugging the pores, and the addition of ZrO2lessened the quantity of strongly basic sites of MgO. Additionally, the presence of ZrO2largely enhanced the catalyst stability in comparison with pure MgO by recycling experiments.

In this work, AlN whisker-reinforced (Zr, Hf)O 2 coating was prepared on SiC coated carbon/carbon composites by sol-gel and plasma spraying methods. Its cyclic ablation resistance was evaluated using an oxyacetylene torch with a heat flux of 2.38 MW/m 2 . After ablation, the coating showed apparently decreased crack sizes and quantity as compared with the one without AlN whisker addition, pointing out its better crack tolerance. Moreover, the coating had a thinner oxidized region based on the linear ablation rate (−0.042 µm/s), greatly lower than that of pure oxide coating (−0.922 µm/s). After detailed observation and characterization, probable protection mechanism was proposed.

A detailed understanding of the role of Y in Cu/ZnO/ZrO 2 catalysts for methanol synthesis was studied by XRD, HRTEM, TPR, TPD, N 2 O titration and XPS techniques in this work. The addition of Y enhances the interaction between Cu and ZnO. With the increase of Y content, the crystal size of Cu and ZnO decreased and Cu 0 surface area increased, CO 2 /H 2 -TPD exhibited the larger CO 2 and H 2 desorption peak at relative high temperature, XPS confirmed the reduction degree of ZnO to Zn 0 on the catalyst surface also increased, and forming more Cu-ZnO x active sites. However, excess Y content leads to a much stronger interaction between Cu and ZnO, which is not beneficial for migration and stabilization of the formed ZnO x species during the reaction atmosphere, and thus generating less Cu-ZnO x sites for methanol synthesis. This work enlightens the migratable and metastabe of the formed ZnO x species on Cu surface by regulation of promoter and offers a perspective for exploring Cu-ZnO interactions in modified Cu/ZnO/ZrO 2 catalysts.
