Selective oxidation of cyclohexene (Cy) to cyclohexene oxide (Cy-ep) by O2 under solvent- and initiator-free conditions is a challenge in chemical processes, which is still constrained by its low selectivity (theoretical selectivity of 50.0%). Given the low epoxide selectivity (<20.0%) of single metal catalysts, we propose a relay catalysis strategy on the oxidation of Cy to Cy-ep with high selectivity by the spherical Mg–Mo bimetallic oxide (MMO). Such a relay catalyst exhibits a desirable Cy conversion of 31.0% and a high selectivity of 49.3% toward Cy-ep. Meanwhile, the high stability and reusability of MMO also indicate its potential to be used for industrial scale-ups. A series of characterizations and DFT calculations reveal that the negatively charged lattice oxygen in [MgII–O–II] adsorbs allylic H of Cy to weaken the bond energy of the allylic C–H bond and form Cy•, and then Cy• rapidly traps O2 to give CyOO•, which subsequently abstracts H from allylic C–H of another Cy to form 2-cyclohexene-1-hydroperoxide (Cy-OOH) and Cy•, achieving the propagation cycle. On the other hand, the Mo(VI) site in MMO catalyzes the produced Cy-OOH peroxo, which then oxidizes Cy to Cy-ep and 2-cyclohexene-1-ol. This work provides insight into the relay catalyst for the epoxidation of olefin with O2 with high selectivity under solvent- and initiator-free conditions.

Over the past decade, remote sensing exploration has revealed widespread detection of clay minerals in Noachian terrains (>3.7 Ga) on Mars, suggesting a period of active near-surface water–rock interaction. The in-depth characterization of the crystal structure and chemistry of laboratory-synthesized smectite minerals with varying compositions offers a unique perspective to further constrain their formation mechanism, environmental conditions, and the climate of early Mars. This study synthesized smectites with varying Fe/Mg ratios to compare their near-infrared (NIR) spectral characteristics with those of representative areas on Mars. The study revealed that the characteristic metal–OH (M–OH) band in the range of 2270–2320 nm shifted toward longer wavelengths as the octahedral Fe3+ content decreased. When the octahedral Fe/Mg ratio was close to 1, the position of M–OH was similar to that of Mg-smectite (saponite), indicating that although the M–OH band of smectite is located at ca. 2308–2312 nm, it may still contain a significant amount of octahedral Fe3+. This suggests that there are likely still many Fe-smectites in Mg-rich smectite outcrops (ca. 20% as in the literature) on the Martian surface. Furthermore, correlation analysis between the smectite layer stacking order index (V/P) and the second-order derivative band intensity ratio (Deriv2 ratio) showed that when the Deriv2 ratio is small (generally <8), smectite has a relatively high degree of layer stacking order. When the Deriv2 ratio is >10 and tends toward infinity (+∞), the layer stacking order of smectite is very low. The above results suggest that the crystal chemical characteristics of smectites should be carefully studied when analyzing the mineral composition of the Mars surface using remote sensing or in situ NIR spectra. Smectites on Mars generally exhibit a high layer stacking order, indicating the presence of a relatively long-term warm and humid climate in Martian history. However, later alteration processes can significantly reduce their crystallinity.

Bacterial infection, excessive inflammation, and insufficient tissue remodeling capacity are major factors to delayed or impaired wound healing. This study synthesized Mg-doped bioactive glass (MBG) using the sol-gel method. Subsequently, based on polycaprolactone (PCL), MBG and tea polyphenols (TP), a Janus wound dressing with an enhanced hydrophilic and antibacterial outer layer of PCL-TP (PT) and a hydrophobicity-preserved and tissue generation-promoting inner layer of PCL-MBG (PB) was further fabricated using a sequential electrospinning method. This design endowed the dressing with directional fluid transport property to effectively prevent tissue adhesion and exudate infiltration. In vitro drug release results demonstrated that ions such as Si, Mg, Ca, and P were sustainably released up to 5 days at least, while TP could be slowly released for over 7 days. The fibrous membrane loaded with TP showed significant inhibition against S. aureus and E. coli, with increasing antibacterial activity as the increase of TP content. The cytological evaluation confirmed that dressings incorporating with MBG and TP did not exhibit cytotoxicity but significantly promoted cell proliferation. The PB/PT Janus dressing demonstrated an apparent repair area exceeding 99 % in animal experiments, along with a significantly higher number of new hair follicles and collagen ratio compared to the blank and PCL groups. These results indicate the potential of this Janus wound dressing in effectively promoting wound healing.

Superhydrophobic materials have attracted significant attention for their exceptional surface wettability. However, their short service life limits their application in practical anti-corrosion engineering. Magnesium alloys exhibit numerous unique properties but suffer from poor corrosion resistance. To enable the widespread use of magnesium alloys, it is crucial to develop effective anti-corrosion strategies. In this study, a mechanically stable superhydrophobic material was developed using siloxane-modified SiO₂ combined with an adhesive. Test results showed that the contact angle of this superhydrophobic material reached 160° and demonstrated excellent mechanical stability and antifouling properties. Even after 60 cycles of tape adhesion-peeling tests, the contact angle was remained above 150°. In addition, we used an epoxy resin (EP) coating as a primer and sprayed this superhydrophobic material on its surface to prepare a dual-layer coating for the anti-corrosion of magnesium alloys. The coating retained outstanding anti-corrosion performance after immersion in a 3.5 % NaCl solution for 30 days, with impedance values two orders of magnitude higher than those of the pure EP coating. The combination of superhydrophobic material and EP coating provides durable and effective protection for magnesium alloys. We believe that this method presents a promising approach for designing novel anti-corrosion coatings.

Within the domain of metal-air battery systems, developing the non - precious metal catalysts featuring extraordinary catalytic activity in oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is crucial to the air-cathode. This work unveils a sol-gel engineered synthesis of La 0.9 Ce 0.1 Co 0.1 Mn 0.9 O 3 perovskite via the co-doping strategy, with targeted exploration of its electrochemical behavior and underlying mechanism in Zn-air and Mg-air battery systems. The perovskite La 0.9 Ce 0.1 Co 0.1 Mn 0.9 O 3 has a wealth of catalytically active ORR sites and a mesoporous architecture. The diffusion-limited current density of La 0.9 Ce 0.1 Co 0.1 Mn 0.9 O 3 successfully achieves a 1.2-fold enhancement relative to commercial Pt/C with a low H 2 O 2 yield of <0.27 %, underscoring its superior mass transport kinetics. The maximum power densities of La 0.9 Ce 0.1 Co 0.1 Mn 0.9 O 3 -based primary/secondary zinc - air batteries are 130 and 83 mW cm −2 , respectively, which are on a par with those of Pt/C - based Zinc - air batteries. Whereas, the open - circuit voltage and maximum power density of the primary magnesium - air battery fabricated with 10 wt% KCl as the electrolyte are 1.85 V and 52 mW cm −2 , respectively, which exhibit superiority over Pt/C catalysts. In combination with DFT analyses, the La 0.9 Ce 0.1 Co 0.1 Mn 0.9 O 3 perovskite emerges as a prospective ORR catalyst for metal-air battery realization.

For continuing to explore new high-entropy materials, the first high-entropy ilmenite-phase titanate, (Mg,Co,Ni,Zn)TiO 3 , is synthesized in this work, further introducing a new crystal structure type for high-entropy ceramics. The uniform chemical composition and typical ilmenite-phase structure of high-entropy (Mg,Co,Ni,Zn)TiO 3 are verified by XRD, SEM, TEM, EDS, and XPS. Homogeneous element distribution and magnetically-coupled atomic arrangement are further performed using Rietveld refinement, Raman spectral fitting, and high-resolution STEM. On this basis, complementary density functional theory simulation with Hubbard correction (DFT + U) is conducted to reveal the band structure and a 2.529 eV bandgap of high-entropy (Mg,Co,Ni,Zn)TiO 3 , thereby enhancing the potential for high emissivity and electronic applications. Excellent thermal stability at 1000–1200 °C, a low thermal conductivity of 2.365 W·m⁻¹·K⁻¹ at room temperature, a high hemispherical emissivity of 0.93 within the 3–14 μm wavelength range, and a low dielectric constant of 22.23 are also demonstrated.

In the present study, the synthesis of NdMg 12 + x wt%Ni( x = 0, 5, 10, 15) alloy was effectively accomplished through the technique of ball milling , and the profound impact of Ni on the microstructural attributes, as well as the hydrogen absorption and desorption characteristics of NdMg 12 alloy, was meticulously examined. The microstructural analysis reveals that Ni can notably facilitate the development of nanocrystalline and amorphous structural configurations. Subsequent investigations uncovered that a portion of Ni was transformed into the Mg 2 Ni phase on the surface of the NdMg 12 alloy, thereby increasing the number of hydrogen absorption active sites and subsequently enhancing the hydrogen absorption and desorption capabilities of the NdMg 12 +Ni alloy. A thermodynamic analysis reveals that the incorporation of Ni exerts a substantial elevating effect on the hydrogen desorption plateau pressure of NdMg 12 +Ni alloy. As the Ni content escalates from 0 wt% to 5 wt%, the enthalpy of the hydrogen desorption process plummets significantly, from 89.1888 kJ/mol H 2 to 80.2806 kJ/mol H 2 . Concurrently, the addition of Ni markedly diminishes the hysteresis coefficient during hydrogen absorption and desorption, thereby enhancing the overall hydrogen absorption and desorption efficiency of NdMg 12 +Ni alloy. Moreover, the inclusion of Ni not only expedites the hydrogen absorption rate within the NdMg 12 +Ni alloy but also substantially diminishes the activation energy for hydrogen desorption, effectively lowering the minimal hydrogen desorption temperature from 261℃ to 199℃. Notably, the NdMg 12 + 10 wt%Ni alloy exhibited the lowest activation energy (Ea = 114.4995 kJ/mol) and demonstrated superior hydrogen desorption kinetics.

The construction of efficient interfacial active sites in metal oxides remains a major challenge for driving the CO 2 cycloaddition under mild conditions. Herein, we engineered a Co x Mg 1-x O solid solution catalyst via a controlled reduction strategy, which achieves near-atomic dispersion within the MgO lattice. The catalyst delivers 96 % yield of cyclic carbonate from epichlorohydrin at 90 °C and 0.1 MPa CO 2 , surpassing the performance of benchmark MgO and Co 3 O 4 catalysts and maintaining stability over five cycles. Structural and spectroscopic characterization (XRD, XPS, UV-Vis) combined with DFT calculations reveal that the high activity originates from synergistic Co-O V -Mg interfacial sites, where Lewis acidic Co 2 + activates epoxides and adjacent oxygen vacancies facilitate CO 2 adsorption. This synergistic effect lowers the energy barrier for the rate-determining ring-opening step to 0.37 eV. This work demonstrates the rational design of oxide solid solutions to create cooperative interfacial sites for efficient CO 2 conversion under mild conditions.

Mg(BH 4 ) 2 is considered as one of the most promising light metal complex hydrides because of its high volumetric and gravimetric hydrogen capacities and world-wide abundance. However, its higher major desorption temperatures (above 300 °C) and poor reaction kinetics have to be improved for the practical application. Herein, Mg(BH 4 ) 2 was successfully synthesized via wet-chemical technique and a significant enhancement in dehydrogenation performance of Mg(BH 4 ) 2 is achieved by the synergetic effect of fluorographite (FGi) and LiBH 4 . Under the effect of FGi, the hydrogen desorption of 6 Mg(BH 4 ) 2 -4FGi composite could be completed below 170 °C in seconds. However, the hydrogen released from 6 Mg(BH 4 ) 2 -4FGi suffers from impurities of B 2 H 6 and HF. More importantly, it is demonstrated that almost all the B 2 H 6 and HF impurities can be suppressed by synergetic modifying Mg(BH 4 ) 2 with FGi and LiBH 4 . The 3 Mg(BH 4 ) 2 –3LiBH 4 -4FGi composite exhibits a capacity over 8.0 wt% H 2 and starts to release hydrogen at 125.7 °C, which is 143.8 °C and 254.3 °C lower than that of pure Mg(BH 4 ) 2 and LiBH 4 , respectively. These significant improvements could be attributed to both the novel morphology that numerous nano-scale borohydride spots formed on the surface of FGi, and the formations of stable fluorides (MgF 2 and LiF) from the interaction between borohydrides and FGi.

Rechargeable Mg batteries are attractive candidates for large-scale energy storage batteries with high safety due to the low-cost and non-dendritic metallic Mg anode. However, exploring high-performance cathode materials is blocking their development. Herein, a high-rate rechargeable Mg battery is established with a AgCl cathode, delivering a high reversible capacity of 70.3 mAh g −1 at 100 mA g −1 , an outstanding rate capability of 32.6 mAh g −1 at 1000 mA g −1 , and a superior long-term cyclability over 500 cycles. Further investigation of the mechanism demonstrates that a conversion reaction takes place between AgCl and metallic Ag 0 for the cathode. The solid-state Mg 2+ diffusion coefficient is as high as 8.1 × 10 −11 cm 2 s −1 , which would be the reason for the high rate capability. The current study reveals significant insights to select promising Mg-storage conversion cathodes by a combination of soft anions and soft transition-metal cations.
