Wood-based panels containing urea-formaldehyde resin result in the long-term release of formaldehyde and threaten human health. In this study, inorganic aluminosilicate coatings prepared by combining metakaolin, silica fume, NaOH, and H 2 O were applied to the surfaces of wood-based panels to obstruct formaldehyde release. The Si/Al, Na/Al, and H 2 O/Na 2 O molar ratios of the coatings were regulated to investigate their effects on the structure and formaldehyde-resistant barrier properties of coatings. Results showed that the cracks in the coatings gradually disappeared and the formaldehyde resistance rates of the barrier increased as the Si/Al molar ratio was increased from 1.6 to 2.2. This value also increased as the Na/Al molar ratio was increased from 0.9 to 1.2 because of the improvement of the degree of polymerization. As the H 2 O/Na 2 O molar ratio was increased from 12 to 15, the thickness of the dry film decreased gradually and led to the reduction in the formaldehyde resistance rate. When the Si/Al, Na/Al, and H 2 O/Na 2 O molar ratios were 2.2, 1.2, and 12, respectively, the inorganic aluminosilicate coating showed good performance as a formaldehyde-resistant barrier and its formaldehyde resistance rate could reach up to 83.2%.

A promising aqueous aluminum ion battery (AIB) was assembled using a novel layered K2Ti8O17anode against an activated carbon coated on a Ti mesh cathode in an AlCl3-based aqueous electrolyte. The intercalation/deintercalation mechanism endowed the layered K2Ti8O17as a promising anode for rechargeable aqueous AIBs. NaAc was introduced into the AlCl3aqueous electrolyte to enhance the cycling stability of the assembled aqueous AIB. The as-designed AIB displayed a high discharge voltage near 1.6 V, and a discharge capacity of up to 189.6 mAh g−1. The assembled AIB lit up a commercial light-emitting diode (LED) lasting more than one hour. Inductively coupled plasma–optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), and X-ray absorption near-edge spectroscopy (XANES) were employed to investigate the intercalation/deintercalation mechanism of Na+/Al3+ions in the aqueous AIB. The results indicated that the layered structure facilitated the intercalation/deintercalation of Na+/Al3+ions, thus providing a high-rate performance of the K2Ti8O17anode. The diffusion-controlled electrochemical characteristics and the reduction of Ti4+species during the discharge process illustrated the intercalation/deintercalation mechanism of the K2Ti8O17anode. This study provides not only insight into the charge–discharge mechanism of the K2Ti8O17anode but also a novel strategy to design rechargeable aqueous AIBs.Keywords:aluminum ion battery;K2Ti8O17anode;discharge–charge mechanism

Co-doping is a promising approach to change the electronic structure and increase the photocatalytic ability of graphitic carbon nitride (g-C 3 N 4 ). Here, we reported a facile and green fabrication of Na, Cl co-doped g-C 3 N 4 photocatalysts. In the fabrication, sodium and chlorine were incorporated into g-C 3 N 4 synchronously. The bandgap of Na, Cl co-doped g-C 3 N 4 decreased compared with pure g-C 3 N 4 and the position of the valence band moved in the direction of enhanced oxidizing power. The co-doped photocatalysts exhibited the improved visible-light absorption and the reduced recombination rate of photogenerated electrons and holes. As a result, photocatalytic activity of Na, Cl co-doped g-C 3 N 4 was remarkably improved for the photodegradation of rhodamine B and tetracycline hydrochloride under visible light irradiation. The photocatalysis mechanism of Na, Cl co-doped g-C 3 N 4 was also discussed according to the results of active species trapping experiments.

Retention and transport of sulfonamides (SAs) in subsurface can strongly affect groundwater quality. In this work, a range of laboratory batch sorption and column transport experiments were conducted to determine the effect of cation type in mixed Ca-Na systems on the retention and transport of two typical SAs, sulfadimethoxine (SDM) and sulfacetamide (SCA), in saturated limestone porous media. Column experimental data showed divalent cation Ca 2+ played a more important role than monovalent cation Na + in decreasing the transport of only SDM in co-cation systems in the saturated limestone media. Further, in the single-cation (i.e., including either Ca 2+ or Na + ) system, increasing ionic strength (IS) of either NaCl or CaCl 2 had little effect on SCA transport; however, increasing of IS of CaCl 2 promoted the retention of SDM in the saturated limestone porous media. This is mainly due to the cation bridging effect of Ca 2+ on SDM and limestone. Overall, SDM showed much higher retention in the limestone columns than SCA, which can be attributed to the two SAs’ different physicochemical properties. Moreover, limestone showed stronger ability to retain the two SAs than quartz sand. Findings in this study suggest that cation type and the concentration of certain electrolyte (e.g., CaCl 2 ) as well as medium type play an important role in controlling the environmental fate and transport of antibiotics.

Terephthalic acid (H 2 TP) is initially unveiled to be the first example of organic anodes exhibiting the universal Li-ion, Na-ion and K-ion storage capabilities. In Li-ion half cells, H 2 TP can deliver the average capacities of ∼235 mAh g −1 for 500 cycles; In Na-ion half cells, H 2 TP is reported to deliver the average capacities of ∼200 mAh g −1 for 50 cycles; and in K-ion half cells, H 2 TP can exhibit the average capacities of ∼240 mAh g −1 for 150 cycles. At the same time, the chemical structure and crystal structure of H 2 TP could be transformed into its related metal salts on the anode side due to the low reduction potential. This work indicates that organic electrode materials should own the universal metal-ion-storage (e.g., Li + , Na + , K + , etc.) capability for their large void room of organic solid/crystal state.

Considering the important functions of cellular Na+ and K+ together with their cooperative efforts on various biological processes, it is significant to simultaneously detect Na+ and K+ at a single-cell level. Here, we present a novel method to discriminate and quantify simultaneously Na+ and K+ in single cells using a new near-infrared fluorescent probe associated with microchip electrophoresis. The fluorescent probe selectively responds to both Na+ and K+. The microchip electrophoresis allows accurate single-cell manipulation and effective distinction of Na+ and K+. Based on the method, the concentration of Na+ and K+ in single normal and cancer cells was compared, and the variation of Na+ and K+ in single cancer cells during the early stage of apoptotic volume decrease was monitored, which would help us to better understand the critical roles of Na+ and K+ in malignant cells and apoptosis. This method has paved a new way for the research of the synergistic function of Na+ and K+ in the regulation of various biological processes at a single-cell level.

The PLE bands peaking at~325, 395, and 470 nm and the strongest PL band peaking at~660 nm are assigned to the 4 A 2 → 4 T 1 transition of Mn 4+ ion and O 2− –Mn 4+ change transfer band, 4 A 2 → 2 T 1 , 4 A 2 → 4 T 2 , and 2 E → 4 A 2 transitions, respectively. The optimum Mn 4+ doping concentration is about 0.8 mol%. Li + , Na + , and K + ions used as charge compensator can improve observably the PL intensity of SrAl 4 O 7 :Mn 4+ phosphor with excitation 325 nm. The fluorescence lifetimes of SrAl [4−(4×0.008)/3] O 7 :0.008Mn 4+ and Sr [1−0.06/2] Al [4−(4×0.008)/3] O 7 :0.008Mn 4+ ,0.06 R + (R + =Li + , Na + , and K + ) are 0.958, 0.97, 1.113 and 0.965 ms, respectively. The luminous mechanism is explained by schematic energy level diagram of Mn 4+ ion. These experiment results indicate that SrAl 4 O 7 :Mn 4+ ,R + (R + =Li + , Na + , and K + ) phosphors can be used as red emitting phosphor candidate for white LEDs based on a UV (~325 nm) and near UV (~395 nm) bands of LEDs chip.

Li-rich Mn-based layered oxides with high specific capacity and operating voltages have become one of the most promising materials for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). However, it still faces several issues of low initial Coulombic efficiency, poor electronic conductivity, and voltage fading due to oxygen release and transition metal rearrangement during cycling. In this study, Li1.2Mn0.54Ni0.13Co0.13O2 (LMR) cathode material with Na ion doping (LMNaR) and CeO2 nanoparticle surface modification (LMNaR@CeO2) is prepared to realize a synergistic modification effect. The doping of Na ions enlarges Li layer spacing to effectively promote the insertion and extraction of lithium ions, which makes the layered structure more stable to reduce the effect of the phase transition. And the CeO2 nanoparticle surface modification restrains the side reactions between electrode and electrolyte, stabilizes lattice oxygen, and eases oxygen release. As a result, LMNaR@CeO2 displays a specific capacity of 196 mAh g–1 after 100 cycles at 0.5 C with a capacity retention of 94% and a merely voltage decay of 0.16 V, which are much better than those of LMR with a specific capacity of 159.6 mAh g–1 and only a 79% capacity retention. Our strategy here provides a feasible approach for the development of Li-rich Mn-based cathode materials for long-lived LIBs.

Point defect engineering has garnered widespread application for enhancing the dynamic behavior of anode materials and improving electrochemical performance. Herein, a hybrid point defect strategy is proposed in Ti-based oxide materials to achieve N doping induced oxygen vacancies (OVs) and subsequently accelerated electron mobility and perform better diffusion kinetics. This methodology culminates in the fabrication of self-supported nanotube arrays comprising N-doped OVs-rich TiO 2 (denoted as N-TNTs). Density functional theory (DFT) calculations and electrochemical characterizations validate that, hybrid point defects lead to high electron mobility and perform better diffusion kinetics, as well as higher Li + /Na + ions adsorption energy barrier and diffusion energy barrier, which in turn improves the rate performance and cycling stability. This research provides a forward-looking and feasible strategy for the application of point defect engineering in anode materials.

Sodium metal batteries (SMBs) have been widely investigated recently due to the low price of Na metal, satisfactory energy density and similar chemical properties to lithium. However, SMBs also face challenges like low Na utilization, dendrite growth, dead sodium accumulation, unstable solid electrolyte interphase and massive bubble generation. To improve their safety and cycling stability, herein, we fabricate a porous hybrid framework, i.e. , fine Bi nanoparticles anchored in porous N-doped carbon matrix (Bi@PNC), as a modified layer upon Cu collector toward stable SMBs. Upon electrochemical activation, the nanoscale Bi-derived Na–Bi alloy with high sodiophilicity reduces the nucleation overpotential of Na, inhibits the formation of Na dendrites, and decreases the loss of Na during cycling. Thanks to these striking merits, the half cells assembled with Na undergo 1600 cycles (3200 h) at 1 mA cm −2 , 1 mAh cm −2 with the average Coulombic efficiency of 99.95%. The optimized Bi@PNC based symmetric cells still maintain the overpotential of ∼9.2 mV under 1 mA cm −2 and depth of discharge of 16.7% after cycling for 2420 h. Furthermore, the assembled less-Na full SMBs exhibit superb electrochemical properties. Our strategy here provides meaningful avenue to construct stable less-Na metallic anodes for advanced SMBs.

Flame-retardant gel polymer electrolyte (FRGPE) with high ionic conductivity and practical safety is essential for the next generation of high energy density sodium metal batteries (SMBs). However, they suffer from serious side reactions and insufficient interfacial stability against sodium metal anode, causing severe performance degradation and even safety issues. Herein, to address these challenges, a fluoroethylene carbonate (FEC) additive confined metal-organic framework (MOF)-based composite gel (AC-MCG) interlayer was constructed upon sodium anode through a facile in-situ UV-induced photopolymerization. The FEC confined in AC-MCG induces the formation of NaF-rich inorganic solid-electrolyte interphase, effectively eliminating the side reactions between the FRGPE and sodium metal anode. Moreover, the MOF with ordered nanochannels can homogenize Na + flux during the plating process and also endow the AC-MCG interlayer with high mechanical strength, thus sufficiently suppressing the growth of sodium dendrites. Benefitting from these merits of the AC-MCG interlayer, a high critical current density of 2.0 mA cm −2 and a long-term cycling life for over 4200 h at 0.1 mA cm −2 are achieved for the Na/Na symmetric cells. Besides, the solid-state SMBs paired with the constructed AC-MCG interlayer also demonstrated considerable electrochemical performance and practical safety.
