The synthesis of carbonates by using nontoxic feedstocks and ecofriendly heterogeneous catalysts has received great attention but remains a significant challenge. Herein, a series of Mg/Al-codoped porous carbons (MgAl@CM) were developed and applied for transesterification to synthesize methyl phenyl carbonate (MPC). The results showed that MgAl@CM possessed abundant mesopores, large amounts of N/O-containing groups, and dispersed Mg/Al species. And 1Mg5Al@CM-700 exhibited the highest catalytic activity with a diphenyl carbonate conversion of 80.2% and MPC selectivity of 99.6% due to its unique structure and acidic–basic properties, indicating a highly efficient acid–base synergistic catalysis process. Moreover, the catalyst presented good stability and reusability for six recycles without a substantial activity loss. The mechanism based on the synergistic catalysis was investigated. This work provides a novel perspective for the design of heteroatom-doped carbon catalysts to accomplish an efficient MPC synthesis.

This study successfully synthesized bismuth ferrite (BFO) thin films co-doped with europium (Eu) and aluminum (Al) using the sol-gel method, while comprehensively investigating their performance characteristics. By systematically adjusting the Al doping ratio in Bi 0.98 Eu 0.02 Fe1 -x Al x O 3 (with x = 0, 0.01, 0.03, 0.05, 0.07), significant changes in the material properties were observed. XRD and Raman spectroscopy validated the presence of R 3 c and Pnma phases in the synthesized BFO thin films, which demonstrated excellent crystallinity. Microstructural and compositional assessments, performed using SEM and XPS, indicated that the BEFAO5 sample possessed high crystallinity and a relatively low oxygen vacancy content. These characteristics enhanced the exceptional current-voltage (J-V) properties and ferroelectric behavior of BEFAO5. Additionally, the influence of vacancy defects on the ferroelectric efficiency and durability of BFO ferrite thin films was examined. The results indicated that the co-doping approach significantly improved the material's resistance to aging. In summary, the combined doping of Eu and Al not only substantially modified the crystalline structure and physical attributes of BFO thin films but also markedly enhanced their potential for applications in energy storage and spintronic technologies.

Aqueous hybrid-ion batteries (AHBs) offered various advantages, including low cost, high energy density, high operation voltage, safety, and durability. These characteristics made them an attractive choice for energy storage devices. CuS was a high-capacity cathode material for Al storage. However, the rate performance of CuS under high-voltages conditions was not satisfying. Here, we prepared Co-doped CuS (Co-CuS) nanosheet material with the small band gap by using the ball milling method as the cathode material of aqueous Cu-Al hybrid-ion battery. Co doping can improve the electron transport capacity and provide more active sites. At high current density, Co doping enhances the electrochemical kinetics, operating voltage and electrochemical performance of the materials. The battery exhibits a capacity of 175 mAh g -1 at 2000 mA g -1 and 108 mAh g -1 at 4000 mA g -1 . After 200 cycles of charge and discharge tests, a capacity of 93 mAh g -1 remains. This offers a valuable approach to the development of aqueous Cu-Al hybrid-ion battery electrode materials with good electrochemical performance under high operating voltage and high current conditions.

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.

The properties of oxidants significantly affect the thermal and combustion properties of nanothermites, and alpha and beta-MnO 2 nanorods with similar morphological appearances were prepared using the hydrothermal method. Corresponding nanothermites were prepared employing the electrostatic spraying method and their thermal and combustion properties have been compared through TG-DSC and combustion tests. The aluminothermic reaction process was simulated by molecular dynamics, and the results showed that the β-MnO 2 /Al nanothermite first underwent β-MnO 2 thermal decomposition followed immediately by an aluminothermic reaction, whereas the α-MnO 2 /Al nanothermite underwent a direct aluminothermic reaction. In contrast, the α-MnO 2 /Al nanothermite could release more heat. According to thermal analysis, the activation energy of α-MnO 2 /Al nanothermite was 100.15 kJ mol − 1 higher than β-MnO 2 /Al nanothermite, indicating better stability. Combustion experiments showed that the combustion propagation rate of the α-MnO 2 /Al nanothermite was faster than the β-MnO 2 /Al nanothermite. The results have been verified and the reaction process has been exhibited using molecular dynamics to simulate the aluminothermic reaction process. The notable differences in the thermal and combustion properties of nanothermites containing MnO 2 with varying phases can be attributed to the distinct crystal structures of α-MnO 2 and β-MnO 2 . The alternating 1 × 1 and 2 × 2 tunnel structure of α-MnO 2 is more stable, whereas β-MnO 2 undergoes thermal decomposition before the aluminothermic reaction.

Developing an economical and high-efficiency synthesis pathway of SSZ-13 zeolite is of great significance for the ammonia selective catalytic reduction of nitrogen oxides (NH 3 -SCR of NO x ) reactions. Herein, SSZ-13 zeolite were synthesized using L zeolite as the aluminum source in the presence of a mixed structure directing agent (SDA) composed of N,N,N, trimethtyl-1-adamantammonium hydroxide (TMAdaOH) and tetraethylammonium hydroxide (TEAOH). This synthesis strategy aims to accelerate the crystallization rate through interzeolite transformation, while less expensive TEAOH can play a cooperative structure-directing role, thus reducing the consumption of expensive TMAdaOH template. The results showed that pure SSZ-13 zeolites with high crystallinity can be obtained from L zeolite within 12 h at 160 ℃ under low TMAdaOH/SiO 2 ratio of 0.05 (too low to carry out the synthesis on its own in the current synthesis system) in the presence of TEAOH. Moreover, the crystallization mechanism was also investigated by XRD, FT-IR, SEM and TG-DTG techniques. It was proposed that the crystallization of SSZ-13 occurs through the formation of SSZ-13 nuclei under the direction of TMAdaOH and promotion of TEAOH, subsequently TMAdaOH was incorporated in the framework to further induce the crystal growth of SSZ-13. Especially, the zeolite crystal size can be modulated by the amount of TEAOH added. In addition, After Cu 2+ exchange, the obtained Cu-SSZ-13 sample exhibits superior catalysis performance in the NH 3 -SCR of NO x reaction, and the NO x conversion rate remained over 90 % across a broad range from 200 to 600 °C, demonstrating its significant application potentials in NO x removal from diesel vehicle exhausts.

Improving the thermal conductivity of diamond-metal composites has always been a significant challenge in the field of thermal management. In this paper, diamond/Al composites were systematically studied, and the influence of holding time (10-120 min) on interface structure and thermal conductivity was discussed. The research results shows that the long-term thermal diffusion sintering can effectively the dense interfacial bonding of diamond/Al composites and enhance the thermal conductivity. The diamond/Al composites with 50 vol% 900 μm diamond attained the highest value of 888.73 W/mK under the sintering conditions of 650 ℃, 50 MPa, and 120 min, nearly 92% of the theoretical value predicted by the Maxwell model. This study establishes that high thermal conductivity can be achieved through long-term thermal diffusion alone, without the complex diamond surface coating and substrate alloying.

Aluminum (Al) powder is widely applied in thermobaric explosives due to its high energy density and favorable reaction kinetics. However, the inert oxide layer (Al 2 O 3 ) on Al particles limits combustion reactivity and energy efficiency. Fluoride-based surface modification has been developed as an effective approach to address this issue. Here, four classical fluoropolymers (F11, F14, PVDF, PTFE) are employed as coatings to prepare core-shell Al/Fluoropolymer. The combustion experimental results demonstrate that the core-shell Al/PTFE exhibits the highest flame propagation rate (52.88 mm·ms -1 ) and pressure output (109.02 kPa) performance. Consequently, core-shell Al/PTFE is selected as a high-energy fuel to prepare RDX/Al/PTFE microspheres via the emulsion and solvent evaporation method, which can enhance the energy performance of RDX. The effects of the core-shell Al/PTFE ratio and RDX content on the combustion heat and pressure output are systematically investigated. The peak pressure reaches a maximum of 187.8 kPa when the mass ratio of RDX, Al, and PTFE is 60: 25: 10. Additionally, RDX/Al/PTFE microspheres exhibit significantly higher laser-induced air shock velocities, detonation heat, and detonation pressure than those of pure RDX and RDX/Al. The mechanism underlying the enhanced reactivity and energetic performance is attributed to the ability of PTFE to etch the inert Al 2 O 3 shell on the surface of Al particles, thereby improving post-combustion reactions and significantly increasing the overall energy output of RDX explosives. This work offers a novel design strategy for high-energy structural thermobaric explosives for the practical applications.

This study demonstrates a sustainable strategy for synthesizing MIL-53(Al) and ZSM-5 zeolite through dual-waste synergy using coal fly ash (CFA) and waste polyethylene terephthalate (PET). A sequential alkaline fusion-acid leaching protocol selectively fractionated CFA into aluminum-rich solutions and silica residues, while alkaline hydrolysis of PET liberated terephthalic acid (PTA) as organic ligands. The Al 3+ -PTA coordination under solvothermal conditions produced MIL-53(Al)(CFA-PET) exhibiting well-defined 1D rhombic channels with a high BET surface area (1303 m 2 ·g −1 ), whereas hydrothermal crystallization of silica residues yielded ZSM-5(CFA), which formed spherical aggregates composed of 100 nm nanosheets with 89.9 % yield and a surface area of 311 m 2 ·g −1 . Structural advantages were evidenced by exceptional adsorption performance: MIL-53(Al)(CFA-PET) achieved 96.24 % methylene blue removal at pH 7 (250 mg·L −1 ), outperforming rhodamine B (30.8 %) and methyl orange (66.4 %), as well as reagent-synthesized MIL-53(Al) Che (91.99 %). Both materials demonstrated exceptional CO 2 capture capacities (4.23 mmol·g −1 for MIL-53(Al)(CFA-PET) vs. 2.37 mmol·g −1 for ZSM-5(CFA) at 273 K/1 bar), attributable to MIL-53′s flexible framework enabling dynamic pore adjustment and ZSM-5′s rigid microporous channels favoring molecular sieving. This work establishes a closed-loop strategy for converting industrial and plastic wastes into functionally differentiated porous materials through element-targeted process design.

The promotional effects of phosphorous modification on ZSM-5 zeolites by phosphorus oxyacids (H 4 P 2 O 7 , H 3 PO 4 , H 3 PO 3 , and H 3 PO 2 ) with different molecular sizes were investigated with catalytic cracking of n -tetradecane as the probe reaction. It was verified that the diffusion of P precursor molecules into ZSM-5 channels was important to prevent aggregation of P species for better stabilization on tetra-coordinated framework aluminum . Meanwhile, the P–Al interaction was proposed based on results of 27 Al, 31 P, and 29 Si MAS NMR. With H 3 PO 2 as the P precursor, easy diffusion into ZSM-5 channels contributed to less formation of polyphosphates, homogeneous distribution of P species, better reserved crystallinity, microporous area and acidic sites for improving cracking performance of n -tetradecane.

Graphene, due to its unique mechanical properties, thermal conductivity and electrical conductivity, is considered as a reinforcement for metal materials. However, there are still issues with graphene aggregation and weak bonding at the graphene/metal interface. In this study, in-situ reduction techniques by nascent hydrogen was used to reduce graphene oxide (GO), and reduced graphene oxide (rGO) coated the Al powder to prepare composite powder. The composite powder was pre-shaped into blocks by hot-press sintering and the interface bonding issue of rGO/Al was improved by multi-pass rolling processes. Raman spectroscopy and XPS were used to analyze the reduction of GO. SEM, HRTEM and EBSD were used to analyze the composition, structure, and morphology of composites. The mechanical properties of the composite materials were studied. The results showed that GO was reduced to that almost all oxygen-containing groups were removed and uniformly dispersed in the Al matrix. The microstructure of the composites was dense, with good metallurgical bonding, and no apparent defects or porosity. When the loading amount is below 0.20 wt%, the ultimate tensile strength ( UTS ), yield strength ( YS ), and Young's modulus ( E ) were increasing along with the increased rGO content. When the addition amount was 0.20 wt%, UTS (147.67 MPa), YS (126.83 MPa), and E (36506.37 MPa), of the rGO/Al composites increased by 51.89 %, 37.87 %, and 94.48 %, compared to pure Al produced using the same process.

With the development of Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) technology, the manufacture of energy conversion elements with metal bridge membranes is becoming more mature, which can be applied in the field of self-destruction of pyrotechnics and improve the immediacy of MEMS fuse safety devices. A micro-nichrome bridge (NCB) was fabricated using MEMS technology, which has a high level of integration. Nanothermite Al/CuO with an inkjet printing charging method was selected to study the ignition characteristics of Al/CuO energetic nichrome bridge (ENCB) under constant current incentive and capacitor discharge. The critical firing current within 5 min and 50 ms, the electrical explosion delay time and critical burst energy were analyzed. The experimental results demonstrate that the prepared NCB can be used as an insensitive ignition element, and its ENCB has a lower ignition current under short pulses. Both the electrical explosion delay time and critical burst energy of NCB and ENCB decrease with increasing voltage. Additionally, incorporating an energetic ink film can significantly reduce the critical burst energy. When the voltage exceeds 30 V, the incorporation of inkjet-printed Al/CuO significantly enhances the ignition performance of the energetic nichrome bridge, which makes it have great prospects for application in low-power micro initiators.
