The stable storage of sodium ions always presents some difficulties for sodium-based dual-ion batteries (S-DIBs), such as the irreversibility of guest-storage and kinetic hindrance in the anode. Based on the low strain volume and stable phase structure, herein, lithium titanate (LTO, Li4Ti5O12) was developed to store sodium ions between the working potential (∼0.8 V), which expands the lower plateau over than that of lithium ion storage (∼1.55 V) to obtain a high energy density of full batteries. The spinel lithium titanate shows negligible volume change and extremely stable structure under Na+-storage, which completely overcomes the shortage problems of the Na+-host. Additionally, by the detection of the transfer state of anions and cations in dual-ion batteries, the diffusion coefficient of the sodium ion in the LTO electrode is higher than that of the cathode, which shows that the transport process of sodium ions can meet the kinetic demands of full batteries. Such S-DIBs exhibit a large working voltage of 2.0–4.6 V and stable electrochemical performance over 1280 cycles, which is superior to conventional sodium-based systems, and further exhibit many advantages such as high energy density, environmental friendliness, and low cost.

In this work, the water activities of the NaCl–CaCl2–H2O and KCl–CaCl2–H2O ternary systems and of their sub-binary systems NaCl–H2O and KCl–H2O were measured using an isopiestic method at 323.15 K. The isopiestic composition line for the NaCl–CaCl2–H2O system was found to obey the Zdanovskii rule very well, whereas the KCl–CaCl2–H2O system deviated slightly. The addition of NaCl to an aqueous solution of CaCl2 decreased its water activity for all CaCl2 molalities. However, KCl was found to decrease and increase the water activity at low and high CaCl2 molality, respectively. The turning point appears at 8.0 mol·kg–1 CaCl2 solution. The Pitzer–Simonson–Clegg (PSC) model was applied to represent the water activity of the two ternary systems, and the calculated results are discussed.

P2/O3-type Ni/Mn-based layered oxides are regarded as promising cathode materials for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) because of their high energy density. However, their practical application is limited by low initial Coulombic efficiency, sluggish Na+kinetics, transition-metal dissolution/migration and irreversible phase transitions during cycling. Herein, a controlled P2 phase was achieved through elemental ratio regulation, enabling systematic synthesis of a series of NaxNi0.4Co0.1Mn0.5O2(x-NCMO) materials with tailored P2/O3 ratios. The optimized composition (x = 0.8), containing 16.6% P2 and 83.4% O3 phases, achieves an optimal phase equilibrium, thereby maximizing the synergistic coupling between the two layered polymorphs. This biphasic architecture demonstrates significantly enhanced Na+transport kinetics and exceptional electrochemical performance, high initial capacity of 168.65 mAh g−1and excellent rate performance, maintaining 84.88 mAh g−1at 10 C, outperforming most reported P2/O3 biphasic cathodes. Structural analysis and electrochemical analysis reveal that elemental ratio regulation modulates the TM–O electronic structure, promotes electronic transport, and accelerates Na+migration. These effects collectively reduce polarization, stabilize the structure, and thereby improve rate capability and long-term cycling capacity retention. This work provides an effective design strategy for designing high-performance layered oxide cathodes with improved structural and interfacial stability.

Although controlled-release fertilizer (CRF) is a safer and more efficient strategy to administer nutrients for plant growth, it is still a daunting task to reduce the cost and improve the degradability of the synthetic resin coatings. In this paper, an inorganic/organic composite coating for urea fertilizer was prepared from a biodegradable castor oil-based polyurethane (PU) filled with the layered Na-bentonite (Na-BT), which was ultrasonically treated by a series of green PEG surfactants . Synergistically influenced by various intercalation ability, cation-hosting ability and hydrophilicity of the PEGs, the porous structures of the modified Na-BT (MBT) fillers were simply tuned by varying the Mn molecular weights of the PEGs, resulting in the adjustable water swelling and mechanical properties of the MBT/PU composites. Moreover, it was confirmed that the water swelling property played a critical role in controlling the early stage of nutrient release, and the mechanical properties were important for the longevity of nutrient release from the CRFs. The best MBT/PU composite supported a CRF with a long-term release of 75 % in 38 days, which was much longer than the one based on pure PU (20 days).

Corn oil, sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC-Na), and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) are widely used as solvents or suspensions in animal experiments, but the effects of prenatal exposure to them on fetal development have not been reported. In this study, Kunming mice were given a conventional dose of corn oil (9.2 g/kg·d), CMC-Na (0.05 g/kg·d) or DMSO (0.088 g/kg·d) during gestation days 10–18, and the pregnancy outcome, fetal physical development, serum phenotype, and multi-organ function changes were observed. The results showed that corn oil decreased serum triglyceride level in males but increased their serum testosterone and CORT levels, and affected female placenta and female/male multi-organ functions (mainly bone, liver, kidney). CMC-Na increased female/male body lengths and tail lengths, decreased serum glucose and total cholesterol levels in males as well as increased their serum LDL-C/HDL-C ratio and testosterone level, decreased female serum bile acid level, and affected male/female placenta and multi-organ functions (mainly bone, liver, hippocampus). DMSO decreased male body weight and serum glucose level, decreased male/female serum bile acid levels, and affected male/female placenta and multi-organs functions (mainly bone, hippocampus, adrenal gland). In conclusion, prenatal exposure to a conventional dose of corn oil, CMC-Na or DMSO could affect fetal physical development and multi-organ functions, and has the characteristics of "multi-pathway, multi-organ and multi-target". This study provides the experimental basis for the rational selection of solvents or suspensions in pharmacology and toxicology studies.

In this study, it was demonstrated that Na+ ionic doped crystals could be formed during the solidification of FLiNaK melts. The ionic adulterating behavior between Li+, Na+, and K+ ions was investigated in detail by using various 1D/2D solid-state NMR methods and theoretical calculations. 2D 19F–23Na and 19F–7Li HETCOR NMR showed that the Na+ ions could be doped into LiF and KF crystals to generate new adulterating phases. Furthermore, the doped ionic Na+ ions exhibited different dynamics in LiF and KF crystals, which is correlated to the bonding length of the lattice and the Na–F coordinated interactions. This study provides more insights into the ionic doped crystal phase formation in such simple alkali metal fluorides, which may be of greater significance in the application as optical devices.

Potassium- and sodium-ion batteries (PIBs and SIBs) have great potential as the next-generation energy application owing to the natural abundance of K and Na. Antimony (Sb) is a suitable alloying-type anode for PIBs and SIBs due to its high theoretical capacity and proper operation voltage; yet, the severe volume variation remains a challenge. Herein, a preparation of N-doped carbon-wrapped Sb nanoparticles (L-Sb/NC) using pulsed laser ablation and polydopamine coating techniques, is reported. As the anode for PIB and SIB, the L-Sb/NC delivers superior rate capabilities and excellent cycle stabilities (442.2 and 390.5 mA h g −1 after 250 cycles with the capacity decay of 0.037% and 0.038% per cycle) at the current densities of 0.5 and 1.0 A g −1 , respectively. Operando X-ray diffraction reveals the facilitated and stable potassiation and sodiation mechanisms of L-Sb/NC enabled by its optimal core–shell structure. Furthermore, the SIB full cell fabricated with L-Sb/NC and Na 3 V 2 (PO 4 ) 2 F 3 shows outstanding electrochemical performances, demonstrating its practical energy storage application.

Establishing heterostructure is an effective strategy to improve the cycling and rate properties of electrode due to high charge transfer kinetics. Nevertheless, it is still a great challenge to prepare a reasonable heterojunction material with appropriate electrochemical property as anode for Na/K ion batteries. In this work, a novel MXene derivative consisted of TiSe 2 /TiO 2 /C heterostructured hexagonal prism has been prepared by a simple solid phase sintering method to converting Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene to TiSe 2 /TiO 2 /C. In this composite, TiSe 2 and TiO 2 with different work functions can induce a built-in electric field in the heterojunction interface, accelerating the electrochemical courses. Serving as an anode material for Na ion batteries , TiSe 2 /TiO 2 /C can keep a discharge capacity of 280 mAh g −1 at 5 A g −1 after 1000 cycles and a superior rate capability with 212 mAh g −1 even at 10 A g −1 . Even using as anode for K ion batteries , TiSe 2 /TiO 2 /C can still retain a capacity of 121 mAh g −1 at 0.1 A g −1 after 800 cycles. This work supplies a simple approach to design metal oxide/selenide heterostructures toward Na/K ion batteries with excellent performance and promotes the application of MXene derivatives in the field of energy storage.

In this study, nanocatalysts for biodiesel production were prepared via wet impregnation of blast furnace dust (BFD) in Na 2 CO 3 (Na-BFD) and CaCO 3 (Ca-BFD) suspension solutions and calcination at 500 and 600 °C, respectively. Biodiesel yields of 100.0 wt% (Na-BFD 500 ) and 98.3 wt% (Ca-BFD 600 ) were achieved at 65 °C. Synthesized catalysts showed outstanding activity and recyclability, due to the transition of CaCO 3 , Na 2 CO 3 and Fe 2 O 3 to nanocrystals of NaFeO 2 (29.9 nm), Ca 2 Fe 2 O 5 (10.5 nm), CaO (100.1 nm) and Ca 2 Fe 2 O 5 (50.0 nm). Na-BFD 500 achieved 95.8 wt% biodiesel yield with 16 cycles, whereas Ca-BFD 600 reached 94.1 wt% biodiesel yield with 7 cycles via magnetic separation. BFD containing convertible magnetic and active components (Fe 2 O 3 and CaCO 3 ) was an ideal raw material to synthesize catalyst for biodiesel production with high catalytic efficiency and easy separation. The study provided a practical utilization of industrial solid waste for biodiesel production.

Using cellulose to produce high-quality oxygenated fuels or chemicals is becoming an important way to replace chemical synthesis technology. In this work, the Ce–Co–Na ternary composite metal catalyst is synthesized and used for catalytic cracking of cellulose to prepare the ketone-rich bio-oil production. To construct an environment-friendly process, CO 2 is used as a pyrolysis reaction atmosphere to improve the enrichment of ketones. Strong synergistic effects among metal components effectively promote the thermal-cracking of cellulose to produce primary products (anhydrosugars), and further convert to oxygenates due to the excellent oxygen transferability of the catalyst. The introduction of CO 2 enhances the selectivity of ketones in the liquid product, especially 2,3-dimethyl-2-cyclopenten-1-one. The highest content of ketones in the liquid is 22.73%, which is about four times higher than that of the blank sample. In addition, the generation of CO in the syngas is promoted. This study provides an alternative way for the pyrolysis of biomass to prepare ketone platform compounds and syngas production .

Replacing alkali metals (K, Na atoms) by an alkaline-earth metal (Ba atom), α-Ba3Sc2(BO3)4 (high-temperature phase) is successfully obtained by a molten salt method, taking Ba2K1.6Na0.4Sc2(BO3)4 as the parent template. Although both of them exhibit similar layered structures composed of ScO6 and BO3 units, α-Ba3Sc2(BO3)4 shows largely distorted ScO6 octahedra (Δd = 0.56) forced by the uniform tension of a larger space effect from BaO12 polyhedrons, rather than regular ScO6 octahedra like in Ba2K1.6Na0.4Sc2(BO3)4. Experimental measurements and calculated analyses elucidate that distorted ScO6 octahedra in α-Ba3Sc2(BO3)4, displaying a second-order Jahn–Teller (SOJT) effect, enlarge the experimental birefringence up to 0.14@550 nm, while Ba2K1.6Na0.4Sc2(BO3)4 with regular ScO6 octahedra only shows Δn = 0.11 under the same condition. In addition, other optical and thermal properties of the two title compounds were characterized. The experimental results indicate that Ba2K1.6Na0.4Sc2(BO3)4 and α-Ba3Sc2(BO3)4 are promising birefringent materials.

Colloids play a crucial role in influencing the mobility of radionuclides in high-level radioactive waste repositories. However, the co-transport behavior of radionuclides and colloids in geological media remains insufficiently understood. This study investigated the transport of Strontium (Sr) in four types of granite minerals (quartz, biotite , K-feldspar, and plagioclase) in the presence and absence of Na-bentonite colloids (Na-BC) using column experiments. Employing a stepwise modeling strategy, this study first determined the basic flow and transport parameters through breakthrough curve analysis of the conservative tracer (Br). Then, the experimental data of Sr in the colloid-free Sr transport experiments and Na-BC in the Sr-colloid co-transport experiments were quantitatively explained using a two-site sorption model and a two kinetic sites model, respectively. Finally, the co-transport behavior of Sr and Na-BC was fitted using the colloid-facilitated solute transport model. The stepwise modeling allowed quantification of the kinetics of Sr sorption onto mobile and immobile Na-BC and highlighted the role of straining in Na-BC retention. In the absence of Na-BC, Sr transport experienced the greatest retardation in biotite, followed by plagioclase, K-feldspar, and quartz, respectively, which positively correlated with the specific surface area of the minerals. Moreover, Na-BC enhanced Sr transport with the same retardation order in all tested minerals, with recovery rate increments of 68.61%, 19.21%, 6.67%, and 4.33%, respectively. The transport of Sr in K-feldspar was found to be less affected by Na-BC compared to the other tested minerals, likely due to the strong cation exchange capacity of K + among the cation components of minerals, making hydrated K + more likely to exchange with Sr 2+ on K-feldspar surfaces. These findings hold significant implications for assessing the risks associated with the transport of radionuclides in deep geological repositories.
