Modifying the back contact interface plays a key role in improving the efficiency of Cu2ZnSn(S,Se)4 (CZTSSe) solar cells. Aiming at the phase decomposition and carrier recombination issues in the CZTSSe/Mo back contact interface, an ultra-thin Mg(OH)2 intermediate layer was introduced between the Mo substrate and the CZTSSe absorber layer. The Mg(OH)2 intermediate layer effectively suppressed the interface phase decomposition reactions and inhibited the generation of interface secondary phases. Meanwhile, during the high-temperature selenization process, the Mg2+ doped into CZTSSe at the back contact interface, reducing the defects and band offset at the CZTSSe/Mo interface. The performance of the device was improved, with a significant increase in efficiency compared to the control device. This work highlights the modification effect of Mg(OH)2 for improving back contact and also provides an easy-handling method to achieve high-performance CZTSSe solar cells.

A novel organic–inorganic Mg(OH) 2 /silane surface layer has been developed for corrosion protection of AZ31 magnesium alloy. The results of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), the immersion tests, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and sellotape tests showed that the Mg(OH) 2 /silane-based composite surface layer possessed excellent corrosion resistance and very good adhesion due to the formation of Si–O–Mg bond between Mg(OH) 2 layer and silane layer. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy tests results indicated that for the long-term corrosion protection of AZ31 the increase of the curing temperature improved the impedance of the composited layer when the curing temperature was lower than 130 °С. However, the impedance of the composited layer deceased when the curing temperature was more than 130 °С due to the carbonization of the silane layer.

The preparation of MgO nanoparticles with relatively small sizes and highly active surface areas is still a great challenge nowadays. The principal objective of this work was to investigate and optimize the calcined conditions of MgO with smaller sizes and higher surface areas, which contributed to its better degradation ability towards paraoxon pollutants. Firstly, the aerogel Mg(OH) 2 nanosheets with an increased surface area of 349.0 m 2 /g was prepared via a combined sol–gel-hydrothermal method. Then the calcined MgO nanoparticles with different morphology, size dimensions, and specific surface areas were obtained at different calcination temperatures from 400 to 800 °C. The optimized average grain size of MgO obtained at 600 °C was achieved to 8.7 ± 3.2 nm with a relatively high surface area up to 231.4 m 2 /g. Meanwhile, such as-prepared MgO nanoparticles showed an excellent performance towards paraoxon degradation, and the maximum degradation amount of paraoxon-ethyl was up to 57.8 mg/g@90 min at room temperature. The kinetics of degradation was consistent with the pseudo-second-order model ( R 2 > 0.99). Such excellent degradation capacity was derived from more generations of superoxide radical (•O 2 − ) sites as revealed by using the nitro blue tetrazolium (NBT) as a probe. The results indicated that the MgO nanoparticles reported herein could be an effective candidate for the environmental remediation of organophosphorus toxin pollutants due to their facile scale-up, low cost, eco-friendly characteristic, and high removal efficiency.

Achieving a room-temperature Suzuki–Miyaura coupling (SMC) with high efficiency is of great significance to the development of low-carbon organic synthesis. Nevertheless, it is still a great challenge to construct a promising nanocatalyst with high activity for room-temperature SMC reaction. In this paper, a strong alkaline-supported nanocatalyst Pd/Mg(OH)2/MgO–ZrO2 was rationally developed based on MgO–ZrO2 hybrid nanofibers. Physicochemical characterizations present that the in situ conversion of MgO to Mg(OH)2 on the surface of the nanofibers results in a great increase in surface alkalinity of the carrier. The strong alkalinity can greatly accelerate the oxidation addition and transmetalation of the SMC process, resulting in the obvious reduction of activation energy of the reaction (Ea = 9.0 kJmol–1 for Ph–Br). The coupling conversion can reach up to 100% at room temperature within 8 min with a maximum TOF > 6516 h–1. It also shows an excellent performance in substrate applicability and chlorobenzene activation. The rational design of a high-basicity catalyst for room-temperature SMC will be a rewarding attempt for the development of low-carbon green organic synthesis.

The surface defects of adsorbents are generally considered to be the active sites for adsorbates, and the adsorption behaviors of a variety of pollutants in wastewater are strongly influenced by the surface defects of the adsorbents. With simple chemical and structural properties, nano-Mg(OH)2 exhibits a high adsorption affinity and selectivity to heavy metals from wastewater. The insight into the surface complex structures of heavy metals on the Mg(OH)2 surface is fundamental for both the mechanism and application of defective adsorbents in wastewater treatment. In this study, the impact of surface defects of Mg(OH)2 nanoplates on the structure, energy, and adsorption amounts of toxic heavy metal oxyanions (HAsO42− and CrO42−) was investigated by combining the first-principles calculations and batch experiments. The first-principles calculations illustrated that the heavy metal oxyanions can be steadily incorporated into the surface defects to form inner-sphere complexes. The incorporated heavy metal oxyanions have strong charge–charge and chemical bonding interactions with the surface defect sites, which are much stronger than the hydrogen bonding interactions with the surface OH sites. Moreover, the adsorption affinity of surface defects towards heavy metal oxyanions is stronger than that towards other oxyanions (e.g. SO42− and NO3−), indicating the high adsorption selectivity of heavy metal oxyanions over other oxyanions. Batch adsorption experiments verified that the adsorption of defect-rich Mg(OH)2 adsorbents towards heavy metal ions, e.g., As(V) and Cr(VI), was favorable even under the condition of low concentration (mg L−1 level). These findings reveal the significance of surface defects of Mg(OH)2 for extracting As(V) and Cr(VI) from low-concentration solutions. The proposed strategy of surface defect-fabrication should provide a useful insight into designing effective adsorbents for the selective extraction of heavy metal oxyanions at low concentration.

Immobilizing reactive Mg phases within macroscopic hydrogel matrices may couple nutrient mineralization with direct retention of the resulting solid product, but such material-integrated systems remain insufficiently explored. Here, a macroscopic Mg(OH) 2 -loaded lignin hydrogel (Mg(OH) 2 @LH) was developed for nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) recovery from simulated digestate. The self-supporting hydrogel contained 115.60 ± 20.90 mg Mg·g −1 while retaining its porous block architecture. For powdered Mg(OH) 2 @LH passed through a 100-mesh sieve, Mg(OH) 2 @LH achieved apparent NH 4 + -N and total phosphorus uptake capacities of 73.99 and 30.99 mg·g −1 , respectively. NH 4 + -N removal varied modestly and non-monotonically with MgCl 2 impregnation concentration, whereas TP removal remained statistically unchanged across the tested preparation range. Nutrient recovery was sensitive to solution pH and N/P stoichiometry. XRD, FTIR, and SEM–EDS analyses supported the formation of a struvite-containing phase during nutrient recovery, while the non-stoichiometric N/P removal indicated contributions from processes other than struvite formation to the decrease in aqueous NH 4 + -N. Importantly, the recovered struvite-containing lignin hydrogel (MAP-LH) retained a centimeter-scale, self-supporting block form and could be directly retrieved from the liquid phase without additional fine-solid separation. Although intact blocks showed lower nutrient uptake than powdered material, this revealed a trade-off between mass transfer and macroscopic retrievability. Subsequent acidic-soil column experiments showed that MAP-LH resulted in a 53.3% lower cumulative TN leaching ratio than soluble N–P fertilizer and partially alleviated soil acidity. These results demonstrate a retrievable hydrogel architecture that integrates Mg-phase immobilization, nutrient recovery, macroscopic product retention, and post-recovery soil application.

The design of environmentally friendly flame retardants to achieve the balanced flame retardancy and mechanical properties of poly(L-lactic acid) (PLA) is a critical challenge. Herein, inspired by the micropapillae adorned with hydrophobic wax crystals structure of lotus leaf, Mg(OH) 2 /Co-MOF/DOPO hybrids (MH@MOF- g -DOPO) were successfully constructed through in-situ growth of Co-MOF and chemical grafting of DOPO. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) revealed that the Co-MOF content in MH@MOF was approximately 27.3 wt%, while the grafted DOPO in MH@MOF- g -DOPO was about 19.5 wt%. Owing to the unique microstructure, the water contact angle of MH@MOF- g -DOPO reached to 113.7°, implying its hydrophobic surface. Subsequently, the as-synthesized MH@MOF- g -DOPO was used to prepare PLA composites, which exhibited significantly improved flame retardancy, as indicated by the LOI value of 30.2 %, UL-94 V0 rating, and the reduction on PHRR by 70.1 %. The flame retardant mechanism was attributed to the synergistic effects of multiple flame retardant units (MH, Co-MOF and P) in MH@MOF- g -DOPO hybrids. Furthermore, the flame retarded PLA/20MH@MOF- g -DOPO achieved the brittle-tough transformation via uniaxial pre-stretch process, thus displayed outstanding mechanical properties (good stiffness and excellent toughness). Notably, compared to the pristine undraw PLA, the Youngꞌs modulus, tensile strength and the elongation at break PLA/20MH@MOF- g -DOPO increased by 35 %, 38 % and 1957 %, respectively. This work proposes an innovative and efficient method to achieve the excellent balance on flame retardancy and mechanical properties of PLA composites, benefiting to promoting their real-world applications as functional polymer materials.

As one typically sustainable polymer material, poly(butylene succinate) (PBS) is highly necessary to improve its flame retardancy and simultaneously maintain satisfied mechanical performances. In this study, “three-in-one” novel flame retardant was synthesized through grafting organophosphorus onto Fe-MOF functionalized Mg(OH) 2 (labeled as MH@Fe-MOF-P), then it was introduced into PBS matrix to investigate its effect on flame retardancy and mechanical properties. The results indicated that PBS/20MH@Fe-MOF-P exhibited excellent flame retardancy, including that the LOI was 29.6%, the UL-94 rating reached to V0, and the peak of heat release rate (PHRR) decreased by 82.1%. The flame retardant mechanism was ascribed to the synergistic effect of Mg(OH) 2 , Fe-MOF and organophosphorus on delaying the decomposition and catalyzing the carbonization of PBS. Meanwhile, PBS/20MH@Fe-MOF-P presented better mechanical performances than PBS/20MH and PBS/20MH@Fe-MOF composites, resulting from the special structure of MH@Fe-MOF-P to achieve good dispersion of fillers and strong polymer-filler interface adhesion. This work provides a novel strategy to modify Mg(OH) 2 with high flame retardant efficiency, and also broadens the practical applications of PBS materials with balanced comprehensive performances.
