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.

A series of x wt%Al-SBA-15 catalysts prepared by modified wetness impregnation was investigated for γ-valerolactone (GVL) decarboxylation to butene . It was found that the impregnation of Al species not only remained the ordered mesoporous structure of parent SBA-15, but also created large amounts of Brønsted and Lewis acid sites on the surface of catalyst. The considerable amount of solid acid sites and the suitable Brønsted/Lewis acid ratio endowed 2.23 wt%Al-SBA-15 catalyst an excellent catalytic performance. Under the optimized conditions, the GVL conversion and butene yield can reach 99.8% and 96.6% at 320 °C, respectively. Mechanism studies indicated that the decarboxylation of γ-protonated PEA controlled speed of the whole reaction. Moreover, the catalytic activity of regenerated 2.23 wt%Al-SBA-15 catalyst was satisfactory after eight cycle tests, and the butene yield could still reach 92.2%.

It is well known that the electrochemical performance of spinel LiMn2O4 can be improved by Al doping. Herein, combining X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and spherical aberration-corrected scanning transmission electron microscopy (Cs-STEM) with in situ electron-beam (E-beam) irradiation techniques, the influence of Al doping on the structural evolution and stability improvement of the LiMn2O4 cathode material is revealed. It is revealed that an appropriate concentration of Al3+ ions could dope into the spinel structure to form a more stable LiAlxMn2–xO4 phase framework, which can effectively stabilize the surface and bulk structure by inhibiting the dissolution of Mn ions during cycling. The optimized LiAl0.05Mn1.95O4 sample exhibits a superior capacity retention ratio of 80% after 1000 cycles at 10 C (1 C = 148 mA h g–1) in the voltage range of 3.0–4.5 V, which possesses an initial discharge capacity of 90.3 mA h g–1. Compared with the undoped LiMn2O4 sample, the Al-doped sample also shows superior rate performance, especially the capacity recovery performance.

The exploration of the high thermal stability near-infrared (NIR) phosphors is significantly crucial for the development of plant lighting. However, NIR phosphors suffer from the poor chemical and thermal stability, which severely limits their long-term operation. Here, the successful improvement of luminous intensity (149.5%) and thermal stability at 423 K of Zn 3 Ga 2 GeO 8 (ZGGO): Cr 3+ phosphors is achieved for the introduction of Al 3+ ions into the host. The release of carriers in deep traps inhibits the emission loss for the thermal disturbance. Furthermore, an NIR light emitting diodes (LEDs) lamp is explored by combining the optimized Zn 3 Ga 1.1675 Al 0.8 GeO 8 : 0.0325Cr 3+ phosphors with a commercial 460 nm blue chip, and the emission band can match well with the absorption bands of photosynthetic pigments and the phytochrome (P R and P FR ) of plants. The explored LEDs lamp further determines the growth and the pheromone content of the involved plants for the participation of the NIR emission originated from Cr 3+ ions. Our work provides a promising NIR lamp as plant light with improved thermal stability for long-term operation.

Background In the traditional ethylbenzene dehydrogenation process, much superheated steam is needed to ensure the activity and stability of the catalyst, inevitably leading to high energy consumption. Methods A novel ethylbenzene dehydrogenation process based on a circulating fluidized bed (CFB) reactor was used for the ethylbenzene dehydrogenation reaction under a low steam-to-oil ratio. In this work, a series of Fe-Al-based catalysts were prepared by a sol-gel method and the effect of alumina content on the catalytic performance of Fe-Al-based catalyst for ethylbenzene dehydrogenation was investigated. Significant findings Among a series of Fe-Al-based catalysts, the FeAl40 catalyst (the Fe-Al-based catalyst with 40 wt. % alumina) had the highest dehydrogenation activity and suitable attrition resistance for the CFB reactor. Further investigation found that the adding alumina could inhabit the formation of KFe 11 O 17 , leading to poor stability. Interestingly, the high activity of the FeAl40 catalyst could be completely recovered through a reaction-regeneration operation. Compared with the conventional ethylbenzene dehydrogenation process, the CFB process benefits from high activity, low steam-to-oil ratio and no induction period. Consequently, the FeAl40 catalyst had high dehydrogenation activity (∼51 wt. % yield of styrene) and low preparation cost, showing an extraordinary potential for industrial application.

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.

A general synthetic strategy for HS-Fe 3 O 4 @MIL-53(Al) adsorbent has been developed in this work. The composite material exhibits an efficient capture performance for rubidium ion due to sulfhydryl group and magnetic Fe 3 O 4 doped in its porous cavity. The results of X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and N 2 adsorption–desorption proved that the HS-Fe 3 O 4 was immobilized in the composite material. High Rb + uptake capacity over the HS-Fe 3 O 4 @MIL-53(Al) is attributed to the exchange of acidic protons between the sulfhydryl group and the Rb + . The pseudo-second-order and Freundlich model could make a good description of the adsorption process. The Rb + sorption selectivity was moderately influenced by any co-ions effect (K + , Na + and Cs + ) due to HS-Fe 3 O 4 doped. These results reveal that our novel composite material might be a promising industrial adsorbent for Rb + capture.

The electrochemical reduction of zirconium oxide in a molten salt of 2.4NaF·AlF3 (molar ratio = 2.4) was studied at 1273 K. Cyclic voltammetry results show that Zr(IV) ions are first reduced to an intermediate valence and, then, are co-deposited with aluminum to form an Al-Zr alloy. Potentiostatic electrolysis experiments were carried out at different potentials (−0.95 and −1.25 V) and at 1273 K, and the electrolysis products were characterized using SEM-EDS and XRD. The XRD analysis confirms that a mixture of cryolite molten salt and ZrO2 was electrodeposited at −0.95 V, while aluminum and Al3Zr were electrodeposited at −1.25 V. The SEM analysis shows that the aluminum and Al3Zr were in two different phases.

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.

Cr 2 O 3 is a well-known corrosion resistant oxide used in refractory applications. However, it can oxidize into toxic and water-soluble Cr(VI) compounds upon reaction with calcium aluminate cement phases in the presence of oxygen, which subsequently causes disposal problems after use. This study describes the extent to which chromium in the spinel Mg(Al,Cr) 2 O 4 phase can be oxidized to Cr(VI) when it reacts with the calcium aluminate cement phases C 12 A 7 , CA, CA 2 and free CaO at 1300 °C in air, using XRD, XPS and leaching tests (TRGS 613 standard) as analytical tools. On reaction with CaO, the Mg(Al,Cr III ) 2 O 4 spinel mainly transformed into hauyne (Ca 4 Al 6 Cr VI O 16 ) and Ca 5 Cr 3 O 12 which contains both Cr(IV) and Cr(VI). The reaction of C 12 A 7 and CA with the spinel phase also resulted in the formation of Ca 4 Al 6 CrO 16 . Conversely, the reaction of Mg(Al,Cr III ) 2 O 4 spinel with CA 2 resulted in the formation of only a trace amount of Cr(VI). Water-soluble Cr(VI) leached in large quantities (>100 mg/L) from samples where the Mg(Al,Cr III ) 2 O 4 reacted with either C 12 A 7 or CA. Almost no Cr(VI) leached from the sample when Mg(Al,Cr III ) 2 O 4 reacted with CaO, using the standard TRGS 613 leach test, but a significant amount of Cr(VI) was released into solution when leached with a HCl solution for 12 h. Both Cr(IV) and Cr(VI) present in the Ca 5 Cr 3 O 12 dissolved into acidic solution. Only a small amount of Cr(VI) leached from the sample that resulted when spinel was reacted with CA 2 , even after a prolonged HCl leach. Cr(III) in spinel Mg(Al,Cr) 2 O 4 is very stable and does not leach in either distilled water or acidic solution.

A superhydrophobic ZnAl–layered double hydroxide (LDH)–La film was prepared by a hydrothermal method and further modification by laurate anions in this work. Comprehensive characterizations of this film were performed in terms of morphology, composition, structure, roughness, and wettability by scanning electronic microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, three-dimensional laser scanning confocal microscopy. The long-term corrosion protection effect of this superhydrophobic film was investigated deeply by monitoring the changes of the electrochemical impedance spectra for a long time of up to a month in 3.5 wt % NaCl solution. In the meantime, the changes of the contact angle were also recorded with the evolution of the immersion time. The result indicated that the stable superhydrophobic ZnAl–LDH–La film was able to provide efficient protection for the underlying Al substrate for a long time. In addition, the capability of the superhydrophobic surface against harsh conditions, including chemical damages and physical damages, was emphatically investigated. It was found that the superhydrophobic surface was chemically stable toward acid (pH ≥ 3), alkali, and heating, and it also exhibited high ultraviolet (UV) radiation resistance. This superhydrophobic coating maintained superhydrophobicity for 7 days of radiation in an UV chamber equipped with a 40 W UV lamp (λ = 254 nm), indicating superior ability of adapting to outdoor environment. This comprehensive investigation of the superhydrophobic ZnAl–LDH–La film is considerably helpful for researchers and engineers to get deep insight into its potential for practical applications in the field of corrosion and protection.
