ZrO 2 is widely used. However, surface hydrophilicity is harmful to waterproof devices. In this work, epoxy-based polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) was chemically bonded to ZrO 2 sheet surface for weather-resistant hydrophobicity and anti-adherence property. First, ZrO 2 sheet was modified with hydroxyls, followed by amino modification. Then, surface POSS modification was performed via ring-opening addition. Next, composition and micro-morphology of POSS-treated sheet were clarified. Ultimately, the dependence of water contact angle of POSS-modified sheet on POSS solution treating time was researched, and the highest contact angle of 132.6° was gained by 24-h treating. Acid corrosion, alkali corrosion, and ultraviolet radiation for 48 h were employed to verify good weather resistance with contact angles over 120°. POSS-modified sheet had good anti-adherence capacity. Cooperation of POSS and ZrO 2 was utilized to obtain low surface energy and high surface roughness. This work might help to obtain hydrophobic ceramics as catalyst supports for oil-phase reactions.

A novel adsorbent of ZrO 2 /PEI/Fe 3 O 4 functionalized MWCNTs composite (MWCNTs@Fe 3 O 4 @PEI-Zr) possessing a high affinity to phosphate and easily separated from aqueous solution was proposed in this work. The ZrO 2 and PEI modified on the surface act as active sites for the removal of phosphate, while the Fe 3 O 4 allows for the easy separation by applying an external magnetic field . Compared to traditional separation like centrifugation, magnetic separation markedly reduces energy consumption and provides more possibilities for application. The composite exhibits a relatively high surface area of 162.9 m 2 g -1 with a larger number of mesopores. As-prepared MWCNTs@Fe 3 O 4 @PEI-Zr is found to have a relatively high phosphate adsorption capacity of 21.14 mg P g −1 and it can be recovered rapidly from water under an external magnetic field . Moreover, MWCNTs@Fe 3 O 4 @PEI-Zr exhibits an outstanding anti-interference capability in terms of the coexisting ion and ionic strength of solutions. Importantly, the dissolution of Zr and Fe are negligible (less than 0.015 mg L −1 ) over a wide pH range of 4.04–9.98, indicating that the MWCNTs@Fe 3 O 4 @PEI-Zr is a structurally stable hybrid composite particle with strong interaction. Furthermore, it shows a good reusability and 86.2% removal efficiency of phosphate remains after three consecutive cycles. Both the ligand exchange and the electrostatic attraction are mainly responsible for phosphate removal by MWCNTs@Fe 3 O 4 @PEI-Zr. This work demonstrated that the highly efficient, easy separable, high stability and reusability MWCNTs@Fe 3 O 4 @PEI-Zr composite has the potential for phosphate removal.

Achieving the balance between the catalytic activity and product selectivity still remains a challenge in partial oxidation processes, because the products are prone to be over-oxidized. Lewis acids (such as AlCl 3 ) have previously been identified to interact with C O groups, which can prevent the ketone products from further transformation. In this work, ZrO 2 promoted Au-Pd/γ-Al 2 O 3 catalyst was designed to enhance the benzaldehyde selectivity by generating more surface Lewis acid site on ZrO 2 -modified alumina. Results show that the introduction of ZrO 2 (5%) resulted in the formation of more surface Lewis acid sites, which improved the benzaldehyde selectivity through the strengthened interaction between the Lewis acid sites and C O groups in benzaldehyde. Besides, the addition of small amount of ZrO 2 enhanced the noble metal dispersion and led to the formation of more active sites to improve the oxygen transfer during the reaction.

Perovskite nanocrystals (NCs) feature adjustable bandgap, wide absorption range, and great color purity for robust perovskite optoelectronic applications. Nevertheless, the absence of lasting stability under continues energization, is still a major hurdle to the widespread use of NCs in commercial applications. In particular, the reactivity of red-emitting perovskites to environmental surroundings is more sensitive than that of their green counterparts. Here, we present a simple synthesis of ultrathin ZrO2 coated, Sr2+ doped CsPbBrI2 NCs. Introducing divalent Sr2+ may significantly eliminate Pb° surface traps, whereas ZrO2 encapsulation greatly improves environmental stability. The photoluminescence quantum yield of the Sr2+-doped CsPbBrI2/ZrO2 NCs was increased from 50.2% to 87.2% as a direct consequence of the efficient elimination of Pb° surface defects. Moreover, the thickness of the ZrO2 thin coating gives remarkable heat resistance and improved water stability. Combining CsPbSr0.3BrI2/ZrO2 NCs in a white light emitting diode (LED) with an excellent optical efficiency (100.08 lm W−1), high and a broad gamut 141% (NTSC) standard. This work offers a potential method to suppress Pb° traps by doping with Sr 2+and improves the performance of perovskite NCs by ultrathin coating structured ZrO2, consequently enabling their applicability in commercial optical displays.

In this study, we synthesized ZrO 2 nanorods through a hydrothermal process as a catalyst precursor for the reversible hydrogen storage reaction between 2LiH + MgB 2 and 2LiBH 4 + MgH 2. The 2LiH + MgB 2 composites doped with the ZrO 2 nanorods demonstrated superior and stable hydriding/dehydriding kinetics upon cycling. The XRD , SEM and HRTEM results revealed that the doped ZrO 2 nanorods were transformed into ZrB 2 nanoparticles with a size of a few nanometers during the first hydrogenation. The initial nanosize of the ZrO 2 catalyst precursor accounted for the formation of extremely fine ZrB 2 nanoparticles , which acted as heterogeneous nuclei of MgB 2 . The present study provides a new route for performance enhancement of complex hydride composites through manipulating the nanostructure of catalysts.

This study demonstrated the dry friction and wear behavior of sol-gel ZrO 2 /WS 2 coatings with biomimetic shark-skin textured surfaces. The effect of added WS 2 on the microstructure and mechanical properties of ZrO 2 coatings was examined and the dry sliding wear and friction behaviors against commercial AISI1045 steel balls were investigated. After adding WS 2 , the micro hardness of ZrO 2 coating decreased by ~39% (from 23.7 GPa to 14.5 GPa), and the average steady state friction coefficient was decreased from ~0.43 to ~ 0.2. When the ZrO 2 /WS 2 coating surface was textured biomimetic shark skin, nearly 66% decrease of the average steady state friction coefficient and 82% decrease of ball wear rate were obtained as compared with the pure ZrO 2 coatings. The possible frictional mechanism of the biomimetic shark-skin structures was discussed.

Monodisperse ZrO 2 ceramic beads with size larger than 1 mm have been prepared by an improved micro-droplet spray forming process, through which a compressor and a dispenser were employed to produce droplets continuously. Furthermore, the slurry recipe and drying temperature have been optimized to enhance the sphericity and smoothness of the beads. The sintered ZrO 2 ceramic beads present promising mechanical performance, including a relative density of 84.6%, a crush strength of 256.2 ± 36.6 N as well as a Vickers hardness of 1344.4 ± 58.3 HV. Such procedure reveals great potential in mass production of ceramic beads.

Electrochemical nitrogen reduction reaction (ENRR) is a promising supplement to the existing Haber-Bosch process due to its mild reaction condition and high theoretical efficiency. However, rational design of efficient ENRR catalyst remains to be the key challenge for the future development of practical ENRR process. In this work, we propose a strategy to enhance the performance of ENRR catalyst by catalyst-support interactions. This strategy is verified with Au/ZrO 2 catalyst. Both experimental and theoretical investigations show that electron is transferred from ZrO 2 substrate to Au. Such an electron transfer process modifies the electronic structure of Au, which enhances the ENRR activity HER performance of the Au active components. Benefiting from the catalyst-support interactions, the optimal Au/ZrO 2 catalyst shows a high ammonia yield of 54.84 μg h −1 mg −1 Au .

Alkaline water electrolysis (AWE) is a promising and mature technology for green hydrogen production, with the membrane playing a key role in facilitating hydroxide ion conduction and preventing gas crossover. In this study, we present a ZxLDHx/PSU composite membrane that exhibits high hydrophilicity, ultralow area resistance (0.18 Ω·cm2), ultrahigh porosity (86%), and excellent water absorption capacity (107.3%). The CoFe LDH incorporated into the mixed membrane plays a dual role: (1) optimizing the microporous structure; (2) enabling hydroxide conduction. Using the Z77LDH8/PSU, electrolytic cells equipped with Ni foam/Ni foam or NiMo foam/NiFe foam electrodes achieve current densities of 590 mA·cm–2 and 1040 mA·cm–2 at 2 V, respectively. The membrane also demonstrates high stability, maintaining performance for over 150 h at a current density of 1000 mA·cm–2.

BACKGROUND Levulinic acid is an important platform chemical derivable from lignocellulosic biomass. In this work, the hydrogenolysis of levulinic acid to produce 1,4-pentanediol was performed over some Co-based non-noble catalysts. The relationship between the catalyst properties and the catalytic activity was investigated, and the effects of the reaction conditions on the catalytic activity were studied. RESULTS The Co/ZrO 2 catalyst prepared by a coprecipitation method showed a high catalytic performance in the hydrogenolysis of levulinic acid to form 1,4-pentanediol. The calcination of Co/ZrO 2 significantly affected the catalytic activity, and a high calcination temperature of 750 °C could promote the formation of 1,4-pentanediol. Meanwhile, the reduction of Co/ZrO 2 at 400 °C in an H 2 flow was beneficial for producing 1,4-pentanediol, and the Co species after the reduction existed as the forms of Co 2+ and Co 0 . A high H 2 pressure and a moderate reaction temperature of 200 °C were beneficial for producing 1,4-pentanediol, and a high 1,4-pentanediol selectivity of 85.6% with a complete conversion of levulinic acid was obtained over the Co/ZrO 2 catalyst at 200 °C under an H 2 pressure of 7 MPa. CONCLUSION The Co species in the 400 °C-reduced Co/ZrO 2 catalyst existed as the forms of Co 2+ and Co 0 . It was proposed that the synergistic effect of Co 2+ and Co 0 contributed to the effective formation of 1,4-pentanediol from levulinic acid. © 2024 Society of Chemical Industry (SCI).

Abstract As a broad-spectrum antibiotic, chloramphenicol has an important contribution in resisting bacterial diseases. It has been widely used in medicine and animal husbandry, but it has the disadvantages of long-term unreasonable use and slow degradation in nature. Long-term consumption of food contaminated by chloramphenicol will cause serious side effects to human beings. Therefore, it is urgent to establish an effective method to remove chloramphenicol from wastewater. Co/Ni@ZrO 2 photocatalyst with nanosphere structure was prepared by hydrothermal method and used for the degradation of chloramphenicol (CAP).The structure, morphology and optical properties of the samples were characterized by TEM, SEM, XPS, XRD, FT-IR and UV-Vis. Under visible light, 12% Co/Ni@ZrO 2 has good photocatalytic performance for the degradation of chloramphenicol, which may be due to the synergistic effect and nano-limitation effect between Co/Ni and ZrO 2 . When the optimal dosage of catalyst is 50 mg / L and the initial concentration of chloramphenicol is 20 mg / L, the degradation rate is 98.2 % within 150 min. XPS and Raman results showed that there were appropriate amount of oxygen vacancies on the surface of ZrO 2 , which accelerated the electron transfer rate in the system and inhibited the recombination of photoelectron-hole pairs under visible light, thus improving the activation efficiency of dissolved oxygen in chloramphenicol solution. Free radical capture experiments showed that· O 2 - ,· OH, h + were the main active substances for the degradation of chloramphenicol. The possible mechanism of chloramphenicol degradation under visible light was speculated. The results show that Co/Ni@ZrO 2 is a promising photocatalyst for wastewater treatment.
