Porous carbon is the most important and most common adsorbent for the separation and treatment of organic pollutants. Characteristics such as accessible and large surface area, physical and chemical stability, and low-cost manufacturing method are desired for any adsorbent. Herein, a hierarchically porous carbon (HPC) was prepared by pyrolysis and graphitization of crystalline metal–organic frameworks (MOF-5) for enhanced adsorption of aromatic contaminants. The material treated at high temperature (950 °C) possesses large surface area (1512 m 2 /g), high porosity (0.94 cm 3 /g), and hierarchically porous structures. The generated mesopores around 4 nm improve the interconnectivity of micro- and macropores to make the porous material ideal for sorption of organic pollutants such as aromatic hydrocarbons. Effects of adsorbent dose, pH, ionic strength, contact time, and initial concentration on the adsorption of p -nitrophenol (PNP, as a model) were investigated. Adsorption isotherms and kinetics suggest that the adsorption is a spontaneous and endothermic physisorption process with monolayer surface coverage. The surface sites are electron-rich due to the graphitic layer, which has high affinity toward π electrons of the aromatic ring. The adsorption capacity of the hierarchically porous carbon (HPC) is nearly over 100% higher that of conventional activated carbon.

A novel indium doped bismuth hybrid nanofilm was prepared on a glassy carbon electrode (Bi@In/GCE) and successfully used for the simultaneous measurements of aqueous zinc (Zn(II)), cadmium (Cd(II)) and lead (Pb(II)). The Bi@In hybrid nanofilm was greatly improved in the ability of electron transfer, surface morphology as well as hydrophilicity over single Bi or In film, and exhibited well-defined and separate peaks for Zn(II), Cd(II) and Pb(II) by square wave stripping voltammetry. Analytical characteristics of the developed Bi@In/GCE were explored by comparing with single Bi and In film modified electrodes with calibration curves, which exhibited the most preferable electrochemical behaviors toward three metals as predicted. The synergistic effect of Bi and In mainly contributed to the enhanced electrochemical activity of the new electrode. In the concentration range of 0-120 µg L -1 , a good linear relationship was achieved between the peak current and the metal concentration with correlation coefficient higher than 0.995. The detection limits were calculated to be 0.52, 0.15 and 0.67 µg L -1 for Zn(II), Cd(II) and Pb(II) (S/N=3), respectively. The analysis of river sample with Bi@In/GCE was performed with satisfactory recoveries higher than 98%, suggesting that the new method is promising as a simple, sensitive and efficient approach to detect the heavy metals in water samples.

Solid-state lithium metal batteries with high energy density and safety have gained increasing attention due to their potential applications. However, the practical use of solid electrolytes is hindered by several challenges. These include poor compatibility at the electrode–electrolyte interface, low ionic conductivity at room temperature, and fast capacity degradation. To address these issues, here we propose ternary strategies by in-situ cross-linked plastic crystal electrolyte (in-situ PCE) based on succinonitrile (SN). Through the in-situ polymerization of SN with polyacrylonitrile/poly(vinylidene difluoride) (PAN/PVDF) nanofibers separator, excellent mechanical strength and compatibility at the electrode–electrolyte interface are achieved. The cross-linked structure of thermally polymerized ethoxylated trimethylolpropane triacrylate (ETPTA) immobilizes the SN molecule, preventing its contact with the lithium metal and inhibiting irreversible side reactions. Additionally, a LiF-rich passivation layer is employed to further protect the SN at the electrolyte-lithium metal interface. The dual protection from ETPTA and LiF offers excellent stability to lithium. Hence, the in-situ PCE exhibits high ionic conductivity (0.79 mS cm −1 at 30 °C) and wide electrochemical window (4.56 V, vs Li + /Li). The cells exhibit excellent cycling stability and high-rate performance. LiFePO 4 //Li cells retain 96.6 % capacity after 1000 cycles at 10C rate. This study provides valuable insights into the development of high-performance solid-state electrolytes.

Polymorphic phase transition is an essential phenomenon in condensed matter that the physical properties of materials may undergo significant changes due to the structural transformation. Phase transition has thus become an important means and dimension for regulating material properties. Herein, this study demonstrates the pressure-induced multi-transition of both structure and physical properties in violet phosphorus, a novel phosphorus allotrope. Under compression, violet phosphorus undergoes sequential polymorphic phase transitions. Concomitant with the first phase transition, violet phosphorus exhibits emergent insulator–metal transition, superconductivity, and dramatic switching from positive to negative photoconductivity. Remarkably, the resistance of violet phosphorus shows a sudden drop of around 10 7 along with the phase transition. In addition, piezochromism from translucent red to opaque black and suppression of photoluminescence are observed upon compression. Of particular interest is that the sample irreversibly transforms into black phosphorus with a pronounced discrepancy in physical properties from the pristine violet phosphorus after decompression. The abundant polymorphic transitions and property changes in violet phosphorus have significant implications for designing novel pressure-responsive electronic/optoelectronic devices and exploring concealed polymorphic transition materials.

Defect engineering for MOFs is a promising approach to accelerate the charge transfer to further enhance the photocatalytic performance. Up to now, the current defect engineering strategy for MOFs mainly focuses on a single adjustment mode with the apparent ceiling effect, whether the further break out of the ceiling effect could be achieved through the combination of two or more adjustment modes is still in its infancy. In this work, the original NH 2 -MIL-125 was firstly adjusted by a single adjustment mode in ethanol solvothermal method to obtain partially linker defective NM-125-X (where X signifies the distinct temperatures used in the solvothermal treatment, with optimal results observed at X = 120). Subsequently, the NM-125-120 was further re-regulated by adjusting the ligand defects through another adjustment mode in water heating agitation, resulting in the ultimate defective NM-125-120-65. The NM-125-120-65 obtained through double defect engineering avenue showed superior photocatalytic performance with the hydrogen production rate of 11585.23 μmol·g −1 , which was 1.23 and 14.05 times as those of partially defective NM-125-120 (9427.65 μmol·g −1 ) and original NH 2 -MIL-125 (824.85 μmol·g −1 ), respectively. In addition, the NO removal rate of NM-125-120-65 was 64.8 % also higher than that of NM-125-120 (37.8 %) and NH 2 -MIL-125 (23.6 %). Through a series of comparative experiments, especially TGA and XPS, it was noted that the ligand defective NH 2 -MIL-125 can be formed by ethanol solvothermal method, and it was also confirmed that through further re-regulating the ligand defects in water heating agitation, the linker defects could also be further expanded. The PL emission spectra, IT diagrams, and EIS measurements displayed that the NM-125-120-65 had outstanding conductivity and excellent electron mobility compared to NM-125-120 and NH 2 -MIL-125. This work provided a novel approach for the subsequent defect engineering by another adjustment mode based on the existing defective MOFs via double linker defect engineering adjustment modes, so as to further obtain better photocatalytic performance for solving the environmental and energy crisis.

A well-shaped Ce (IV)-based metal organic framework (Ce-BDC) is prepared under solvothermal method. The influence of synthesis time, temperature and the amount of acetic acid (HAc) as a modulator is studied to develop a new strategy for the synthesis of well-shaped Ce-based MOF. The relationship between the synthesis parameters and morphology as well as crystallinity of Ce-BDC is investigated by XRD and SEM. Furthermore, the obtained well-shaped Ce-BDC shows a CO 2 uptake capacity of 2.28 mmol g −1 at 0 °C and 1.0 bar. Meanwhile, the breakthrough curve behaviors of Ce-BDC are investigated for a CO 2 /CH 4 and CO 2 /N 2 mixture gas . It is found that the Ce-based MOF adsorbs CO 2 under ambient temperature and pressure, but completely excludes CH 4 and N 2 , suggesting that it is a promising adsorbent for efficient separation of CO 2 from natural gas.

Activated carbon (AC) adsorbents are extensively utilized for the adsorption and elimination of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), such as styrene, owing to their remarkable adsorption capacity and cost-effectiveness. However, the regeneration and reutilization of activated carbon face significant limitations due to incomplete cleavage of styrene and carbon accumulation during heated styrene cracking. This research focuses on the preparation of Ni-Fe bimetal-enriched adsorbent columns by successfully loading transition metals Ni and Fe onto activated carbon saturated with styrene adsorption using a simple impregnation method. A series of characterizations were conducted to unveil the formation process of active sites in the alloy phase and the mechanism behind the synergistic anti-accumulation effect of Ni and Fe on carbon deposits. Furthermore, the adsorption performance of the regenerated activated carbon for styrene was evaluated. The results revealed the formation of Fe 0.64 Ni 0.36 and Ni-Fe alloy (Kamacite) phases on the activated carbon carriers, which enhanced the cracking of styrene and exhibited superior anti-carbon accumulation properties. The styrene adsorption capacity of the synthesized bimetallic 2.5Fe-2.5Ni-900 regenerated sample reached 407.5 mg/g, approximately 1.5 times higher than that of the monometallic samples 5Fe-900 and 5Ni-900, and 1.6 times higher than that of the unmodified activated carbon RAC-900. Furthermore, kinetic studies indicated that the adsorption process of styrene by the samples followed a multilayer adsorption mechanism, predominantly governed by physical adsorption. Intra-pore diffusion was identified as the primary rate-determining step during the adsorption process. Moreover, after three regenerative adsorption cycles, the decrease in styrene adsorption capacity for the 2.5Fe-2.5Ni-900 sample was below 20 %. This study presents novel perspectives and methodologies for addressing the regeneration challenge of activated carbon saturated with styrene adsorption.

The slow regression rate induced by the difficulty of pyrolysis has limited the practical application of hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene (HTPB)-based fuels for hybrid rocket propulsion. A possible strategy is the use of suitable transition metal elements promoting polymer matrix thermal decomposition of fuels. This paper investigates the effects of nickel acetylacetonate, Ni(acac) 2 , on the thermal stability and combustion of HTPB-based fuel formulations. The presented experimental results show that the addition of Ni(acac) 2 can intensely decrease the thermal stability of HTPB thus enhancing the solid fuel regression rate even at a small additive mass fraction: under an oxygen mass flux of 50 kg/m 2 s, HTPB + 5 wt% Ni(acac) 2 shows a 25.5% increase over the non-loaded baseline. Kinetics analyses reveal that the catalytic effect is mainly induced by the Ni 2+ in Ni(acac) 2 at the early stage of decomposition, and by the NiO produced from the oxidative decomposition of Ni(acac) 2 in the fuel final degradation stage. On the other hand, the addition of Ni(acac) 2 decreases the combustion heat of HTPB-based fuels significantly and implies the accumulation of its decomposition products (much metal Ni, moderate elemental C, and a little NiO.) at the fuel regressing surface. Eventually, when the content of Ni(acac) 2 exceeds 5 wt%, the growth of regression rate slows down rapidly, and a performance detriment occurs at 40 wt%. This study verifies the catalytic effect of Ni(acac) 2 on polymer matrix for HTPB based fuels showing the attractive regression rate performance of this additive.

The rapid development of high-performance materials has garnered considerable attention in addressing electromagnetic pollution . The construction of core-shell heterostructures is an effective approach for regulating the electromagnetic parameters of absorbers. However, these heterostructures usually lack a direct channel for charge transport between the core phase and the adhesive shell phase. Herein, Fe 2 AlB 2 @FeAl-layered double hydroxides with core-shell heterostructures were prepared using a top-down approach. The tightly connected FeAl-LDHs nanosheets to the Fe 2 AlB 2 parent phase improved electronic transport. Compared with raw Fe 2 AlB 2 , the spherical absorber with an embroidered structure demonstrated stronger reflection loss (-15.6 dB for Fe 2 AlB 2 , −58.6 dB for Fe 2 AlB 2 @FeAl-LDHs) and a broader effective absorption bandwidth (2.2 GHz for Fe 2 AlB 2 , 3.6 GHz for Fe 2 AlB 2 @FeAl-LDHs) due to the enhanced dielectric and magnetic losses. This study presents a practical method for designing new controllable core-shell heterostructures for electromagnetic wave-absorbing materials.

Combination of high-capacity and flexibility in electrode materials is crucial for flexible electronics. Recently, red phosphorus (P) has caused increasing focus as a hopeful storage material for lithium storage due to its super-high theoretical capacity and low cost. However, the low conductivity of red P and its large volume change during cycling process lead to reduced electrochemical activity. So far, no effective methods have been developed to construct flexible binder-free electrodes using red P as an active material for high-performance lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). Here, a novel hollow three‐dimensional (3D) internet structure as a flexible high-areal-capacity electrode material was fabricated by confining red P nanoparticles into compact MOF-derived carbon-based composite polyhedrons/carbon nanotube internets. The electrode manifests an excellent lithium storage performance for LIBs with a high discharge capacity of 4.78 mAh cm −2 (1920 mAh g −1 ) at 0.1 mA cm −2 and a good capacity retention of 79.2% at 1 mA cm −2 after 300 cycles (73% and 69% capacity retention at 5 and 10 mA cm −2 after 500 cycles, respectively). The novel flexible anode materials can provide excellent Li + storage performance for flexible electronics applications.

A rigid Pb(II)-imprinted polymers were synthesized by the combination of surface-imprinted method with sol–gel method using (3-mercaptopropyl) trimethoxysilane as a functional monomer, Pb(II) and hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide as template ions and tetraethoxysilane as cross-linker and were used as adsorbents for the removal of Pb(II). The effect of molar ratio of cross-linker to functional monomer on the morphology and adsorption performance has been evaluated. The effects of pH, initial concentration and adsorption time on the adsorption performance of Pb(II) on both sorbents were investigated. The maximum adsorption capacity calculated from Langmuir isotherm was 68.03 mg g -1 and 17.13 mg g -1 for Pb(II)-IIP and Pb(II)-NIP, respectively. Kinetics studies showed that the adsorption process obeyed the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The selective adsorption coefficient of Pb(II)-IIP for Pb(II)/Ni(II), Pb(II)/Cd(II), Pb(II)/Hg(II) and Pb(II)/Co(II) are 117.5, 1.42, 4.9 and 30.24, respectively. The spent Pb(II)-IIP could be reused at least five cycles, demonstrating its good practicability.

The white pollution caused by non-degradable plastics poses a serious threat to human society and the environment, thus developing biodegradable material is urgent. In this work, a novel phosphonitrile hybrid metal-polyphenol network was constructed and used for the preparation of flame retardant , UV resistant and antibacterial multifunctional polyvinyl alcohol composite (PVA@HCPD-Ag). The limiting oxygen index (LOI) value of PVA@HCPD-Ag was improved to 33.5%, while the peak heat release rate (PHRR) and total heat release (THR) decreased by 35.62% and 47.76%. Besides, the ultraviolet protection factor (UPF) value of PVA@HCPD-Ag was significantly improved from 4.63 of the original PVA to 482.79, while the tensile strength was increased by 10.23%. Furthermore, the inhibition efficacy of PVA@HCPD-Ag for E. coli and S. aureus was up to 98.12% and 99.99%. This work explored the synergistic flame retardant effect of in-situ reduced Ag 0 and phosphonitrile crosslinked polyphenol network and proposed an advanced strategy for developing high value-added functionalized PVA materials.
