Lithium metal has been regarded as an ideal anode to meet the rapidly growing requirements on high energy density batteries , owing to their highest gravimetric capacity and their lowest redox potential . However, lithium metal batteries persistently suffer from serious issues, such as the unstable solid electrolyte layer and uncontrolled dendrite growth during plating/stripping, especially under high current density . Herein, we developed an innovative method to prepare dense LiAl 5 O 8 nanowires membrane and designed a LiAl 5 O 8 nanowires membrane/poly (vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene)-based gel polymer composite electrolyte (LPH-GPE) to address these issues. On the interface of LPH-GPE and lithium anode, uniformly dispersed aluminum is in situ generated by reducing LiAl 5 O 8 nanowires, which brings both superlithiophilic sites and uniform lithium ion flux, and thus enables the lithium ion depositing in plates rather than forming sharp lithium dendrites . The solid-state lithium/lithium symmetric cells with LPH-GPE exhibit significantly improved lifespan at 0.5 mA cm − 2 and short-circuit does not occur even at current density up to 4 mA cm − 2 .

Arsenic (As) contamination of aquatic and soil environments is a global concern, highlighting the importance of As removal via high-efficiency and low-cost removal technologies. In the present study, novel trimetallic biochar was developed through pyrolyzing corn straw impregnated with inexpensive metal Fe/Al/Zn (hydr)oxides. The results of SEM, FTIR, and XRD verified the formation of metal oxyhydroxides on the surface of the modified biochars, and the modification increased the specific surface area (SSA), total pore volume (TPV), and surface charge of the Fe/Al/Zn (hydr)oxides modified biochar (FAZ-CB). Compared with the original biochar, higher sorption rates and capacities was observed for the FAZ-CB. The maximum As (V) adsorption capacities of FAZ-CB reached 82.9 mg g −1 . A pot experiment showed that application of FAZ-CB decreased bioavailable As fractions in the red soil significantly reduced the uptake of As by arugula in edible part and root (42.6 and 56.8%, respectively). The present study demonstrated the superiority of FAZ-CB in the As(V) immobilization in red soil, suggesting that it is a promising candidate for practical application for As immobilization. Therefore, FAZ-CB can be used as a promising functionalized biochar to remediate As contaminated red soil.

M-type strontium ferrite is a kind of magnetic functional material with wide application prospect. In this work, SrFe 12− x Al x O 19 (0 ≤ x ≤ 1) and Sr 1− y Ca y Fe 8 Al 4 O 19 (0 ≤ y ≤ 0.4) have been prepared by a hydrothermal method, and the effects of Al 3+ doping and Al 3+ and Ca 2+ co-doping on the magnetic properties have been investigated. X-ray diffraction analysis indicates all the samples are a hexagonal structure, and the shift of the diffraction peaks suggests that Al 3+ and Ca 2+ are successfully doped in SrFe 12 O 19 . Field emission scanning electron microscope images show the particles have the hexagonal shape with the size of 1.1–2.9 µm. Vibrating sample magnetometer reveals that the doping of Al 3+ and the co-doping Al 3+ and Ca 2+ can enhance magnetic properties of strontium ferrite. For example, the values of coercivity and the saturation magnetization of SrFe 8 Al 4 O 19 are 914.1 Oe and 44.0 emu/g, which are 3% and 117% enhancement compared with SrFe 12 O 19 , respectively. For Sr 1− y Ca y Fe 8 Al 4 O 19 , coercivity and saturation magnetization increase from 914.1 Oe and 41.8 emu/g to 1047.2 Oe and 50.2 emu/g when the Ca 2+ doping concentration increases from 0 to 0.4. Moreover, the effects of acid washing also on phase composition, morphology and magnetism are researched. The as-synthesized doping strontium ferrite will be useful for the applications in security switching and recording media.

Efficient production of fuels and chemicals from lignocellulosic biomass is the main goal of biorefinery processes. Herein, the metal-modified heteropolyacids with tunable Lewis and Brønsted acid sites were designed as the monolithic multifunctional catalyst for valorizing cellulose and lignocellulosic biomass to alkyl levulinate, a versatile platform molecule. Among them, Al-exchanged two protons of H 4 SiW 12 O 40 (Al 2/3 H 2 SiW 12 O 40 ) was found to be uniquely effective. The kinetic behavior describing the conversion of cellulose to ethyl levulinate was investigated to monitor the process, and compared between parent H 4 SiW 12 O 40 and Al 2/3 H 2 SiW 12 O 40 to understand the mechanistic role of Al 3+ . The introduction of Al 3+ substantially facilitated cellulose depolymerization and glucose-to-fructose isomerization , leading to a high rate and product selectivity. The estimated activation energies for cellulose degradation and glucopyraoside alcoholysis decreased by 50.6 kJ/mol and 40.9 kJ/mol, respectively. 50–72% yields of ethyl levulinate were accomplished from cellulosic biomasses such as pine wood, eucalyptus, bamboo, bagasse and Napier grass. Al 2/3 H 2 SiW 12 O 40 allowed cellulose conversion in various linear alcohols producing high-yield alkyl levulinate, and could be reused multiple times with a good stability. This study opens a reliable and promising avenue for one-pot transformation of cellulose and raw lignocellulosic biomass to ester compounds.

A novel method for the synthesis of MFI zeolites has been developed, which does not require any crystal seeds or solvent. The adaptability of this method was also evidenced; a series of ZSM-5 zeolites with differing Si/Al ratios (18∼∞) were synthesized, which to date, has been a challenge in the field of solvent-free synthesis. The materials were probed by in situ DRIFTS and 2D 27Al–19F HETCOR NMR spectroscopy, the results from which indicated that fluorine-containing species play a crucial role in the crystallization of ZSM-5. During the crystallization process F− anions coordinate with Al3+ cations, resulting in the formation of 6-coordinated “F–Al–O–Si” species. It is these intermediate species which drive the formation of tetrahedral [AlO4]− units in the zeolitic framework. The effectiveness of these materials as catalyst supports was subsequently assessed in the hydrogenation of levulinic acid and glucose, which exhibited a comparable performance to commercial ZSM-5. The simple, efficient and low-cost method presented herein provides an alternative approach for the green scaled-up synthesis of zeolites.

To develop catalysts with superior stability for isobutane alkylation, La3+ exchanged FAU zeolites with varying framework Si/Al ratios were investigated. Based on the reaction performed in a continuous flow stirred tank reactor, a strong linear relationship between catalyst lifetime and strong Brønsted acid concentration was observed. Catalyst lifetime was speculated to change in an M-shaped pattern with respect to the framework Si/Al ratio, which implies there were at least two extreme Si/Al ratios in terms of catalyst stability. However, their product distribution differed significantly. LaFAU with a high Si/Al ratio led to enhanced acid strength, which resulted in higher cracking, self-alkylation activity, and poor product selectivity. In determining a balance between catalyst stability and product selectivity, a Si/Al ratio of ∼1.2 was selected as the optimal value for LaFAU zeolites.

It is still a bottleneck to design anti-wetting homogeneous metal films or coatings with great stability via by a high-efficiency and low-cost technique with applications in fields of battery, sensors, and electronics, etc. This paper proposed an environment-friendly ultra-low-voltage electrophoretic deposition (EPD) with facile modification post-processing method to fabricate a novel extremely water-repellent functional nano-Al films with evenly loose net-like structures and high purity. The optimized stable suspension consists of water–ethanol with trace nitric acid and polyethyleneimine. Product with an ultra-high contact angle of ~ 171° and extreme low sliding angle of < 1° showed extremely anti-wetting properties, and outstanding water-repellent stability or long lifespan (> 3 years) with great potential applications. These results provide a novel approach with low-cost and less energy consumption for preparing other functional ant-wetting metal coatings with wide potential applications.

To improve the catalytic activity when utilizing metal oxides for the combustion of VOCs, Mn/Al-SBA-15 catalysts have been successfully synthesized through an emerging wetness impregnation technique involving Mn(NO3)2 on Al-SBA-15, which has been directly prepared from attapulgite by a hydrothermal method. Compared to Mn/SBA-15, which is prepared with TEOS as its silicon source, all the as-prepared Mn/Al-SBA-15 catalysts demonstrated enhanced catalytic performance in the oxidation of toluene. From this research, the 8% Mn/Al-SBA-15 catalyst presented the best catalytic performance, due to the high efficiency resulting from the high chemical valence of Mn4+. When the concentration of toluene was 2000 ppm, and the space velocity was 60 000 mL (g h)−1, 8% Mn/Al-SBA-15 could effectively reduce the T50 and T90 values of toluene to 201 and 278 °C, respectively; while the 8% Mn/SBA-15 catalyst could reduce the T50 and T90 values of toluene to 223 and 298 °C, respectively. A systematic investigation has been conducted to reveal the synergistic effects of Al doping and manganese loading on the enhanced catalytic performance. The experiments showed impressive results, demonstrating that Al doping can not only increase the surface acidity of SBA-15, but it can also be beneficial for achieving a uniform dispersion of MnOx on the surface and in the pores of Al-SBA-15, resulting in the enhancement of the catalytic performance.

Ellagic acid (EA) is a symmetric natural phenol bioactive compound present in fruits and nuts, and has attracted substantial interest worldwide owing to its beneficial health effects. Here, the exploration of luminescent metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) of MIL-101(Al)-NH 2 (MIL = Materials of Institute Lavoisier) for rapid and sensitive sensing of EA in aqueous solution was reported initially. The porous MIL-101(Al)-NH 2 MOFs was synthesized by solvent-thermal method with inexpensive 2-aminoterephthalic acid and aluminum salt, which exhibited uniform spherical crystals (~340 nm) and specific mesoporous structure (3.2 nm). The fluorescence intensity of MIL-101(Al)-NH 2 at 425 nm showed a good linear relationship with EA concentration in the range of 0.15–100 μM. The detection limit was as low as 43.8 nM, the rapid response time was within 2 min, and the cost of detection was low. In addition, the “turn off” fluorescence probe could be utilized for visual detection of EA according to the color change under the UV lamp. Based on the Stern-Volmer equation, the quenching constants was decreased with the rise of temperature, which indicated that the probable quenching mechanism was static quenching. The nanoprobe was successfully used to detect EA in the cherry and serum samples. MIL-101(Al)-NH 2 represents the first instance of MOFs-based fluorescent probe in EA detection. This work not only enriches the detection method of EA, but also expands the potential application of MIL MOFs in small molecules.

Fluoroquinolone antibiotics (FQs), a new class of pollutants that seriously threaten human health through environmental and food residues, have aroused wide public concern. However, little attention has been paid to the potential toxicity of FQs' metal complex. Here, we firstly explore the proof-of-concept study of FQs' metal complex to bind bovine serum albumin (BSA) using systematical spectroscopic approaches. In detail, we have found that the complex of Al 3+ with gatifloxacin (Al(III)-GFLX complex) can effectively bind to BSA via electrostatic interaction in PBS buffer (pH = 7.4, 1×), resulting in the formation of Al(III)-GFLX-BSA complex. The negative value of Δ G shows that the binding of Al(III)-GFLX complex to BSA is a spontaneous process. Circular dichroism spectra verify that Al(III)-GFLX complex effectively triggers the conformation changes of BSA's secondary structure. It has been proved that the interaction of small molecule with serum albumin has a significant effect on their in vivo biological effects such as absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion, and etc. Therefore, the results of this paper may offer a valuable theoretical basis for establishing safety standards of FQs' metal complex to ensure food and environmental health .

It is imperative to exploit simple and rapid methods for the detection of total iron in foods to ensure food quality and human health. Herein, we construct the MIL-53(Al)-NH 2 -MPA nanosensor synthesized by post-synthetic modification process for fluorescent detection of total iron in food matrix. The nanosensor emits intense blue fluorescence with excellent stability. The fluorescence can be efficiently quenched by Fe(III) due to the fact that Fe(III) can preferentially bind with O-quinone bands or –NH 2 of MIL-53(Al)-NH 2 -MPA to form strong coordination complex, and that the heteroatoms (N, O and S) in MIL-53(Al)-NH 2 -MPA can donate lone-pair electrons to Fe(III) to promote the electron transfer. Moreover, the competitive absorption of excitation energy of MIL-53(Al)-NH 2 -MPA by Fe(III) endows the nanosensor with superior sensitivity. The fluorescent sensor exhibits excellent anti-interference performances toward other metal ions, and reveals a LOD of 0.36 μM with the broad linear range of 0–110 μM for the detection of Fe(III). Satisfactory recoveries of 92.90–112.70% with RSDs of 0.54–2.48% have been achieved in water and food samples, which are well agreement with inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) (P > 0.05), indicating that MIL-53(Al)-NH 2 -MPA is applicable for detecting total iron in food matrix.

Perovskite quantum dots (PQDs) are among the most important luminescent semiconducting materials; however, they are unstable. Exposure to light, heat, and air can lead to irreversible degradation, which results in fluorescence quenching. Therefore, defects in PQDs significantly limit their practical application. Herein, we describe a simple method to enhance the photostability of CsPbBr3/nCdS QDs, which involves doping their shells with aluminum. The temperature-dependent photoluminescence (PL) of colloidal CsPbBr3/nCdS/Al2O3 QDs is investigated, and the thermal quenching of PL, blue shift of the optical band gap, and PL line width broadening are observed in each QD sample. Al2O3 layers on the CsPbBr3/nCdS QDs can effectively prevent photodegradation. Nonlinear, temperature-dependent exciton–phonon coupling and lattice dilation leads to radiative and nonradiative relaxation processes at temperatures ranging from 10 to 300 K; moreover, changes in the band gap and PL spectral line broadening are observed.
