The dehydrofluorination of 1,1-difluoroethane (R152a) is a Lewis acid–catalyzed reaction in which both catalytic activity and stability are governed by the coordination and acidity of aluminum sites. In this work, a mechanochemical fluorination strategy was developed to construct a partially fluorinated Al-based catalyst with tunable acid properties. By controlling the fluorine-aluminum ratio during ball milling, the in situ formation of AlF 2 (OH) was achieved, serving as a structural stabilizer and electronic modulator. The coexistence of F-Al-O units and unsaturated Al centers provides medium-strength Lewis acid sites, which favor selective C-F bond activation while suppressing side reactions. Comprehensive characterizations (XRD, XPS, 27 Al NMR, and NH 3 -TPD) confirmed that the defect-related F-Al-O structure maintains structural integrity and balanced acidity during reaction. Consequently, the optimized catalyst exhibits excellent activity, selectivity, and long-term stability in R152a dehydrofluorination.

The pigments with high near-infrared (NIR) reflectance hold great promise toward both fundamental types of researches and applications for the realization of comfortable indoor-temperature by mitigating urban heat island effect. However, the facile yet simple method for the NIR reflective pigments with bright color and non-toxic feature remains a huge challenge, limiting their practical application. Herein, we proposed a mild and universal method of solution combustion for constructing the non-toxic and NIR reflective yellow-green pigments of Al-doped Y 3 Fe 5 O 12 . The Y 3 Fe 4 AlO 12 pigment presented a high NIR reflectance of 87.66%, and an outstanding acid/alkali resistance. Moreover, the pigment had an impressive color performance (L* = 78.72, a* = − 4.05, b* = 40.04). Besides, the practical near-infrared reflection performance revealed that the transient surface temperature of the Y 3 Fe 4 AlO 12 pigment was 7.6 °C lower than that of the pigment with similar color on the market. This research supplied high NIR reflecting pigments of Y 3 Fe 5−x Al x O 12 as promising coatings for roofs and exterior walls of buildings, acting as a favorable solution for urban heat island effect.

The interfacial microstructure of an Al-based coating on a Ti alloy surface has been designed by using phase diagrams and advanced first-principles calculations. Samples were characterized by x-ray diffractometry, scanning electron microscopy, optical microscopy, high resolution transmission electron microscopy and energy-dispersive spectrometry. The results show that the stability sequence of the Ti–Al intermetallics was Ti3Al > TiAl > TiAl2 > TiAl3. The TiAl3 transition layer with a strong self-healing property was obtained easily by metallurgical reaction of Al and Ti. The Al atoms in TiAl3 combined rapidly with the O atoms to form a new Al2O3 protective layer in air. This work provides theoretical support for the thermal processing of Ti alloys.

Ca-looping-driven thermochemical energy storage (TCES) materials are highly promising options for next-generation concentrated solar power (CSP) applications. However, the heat storage performance of pure Ca-based materials largely deteriorates after repeated cycles, reducing the operational lifespan of CSP plants. To improve the cycling stability of TCES materials, a sol–gel-based strategy is developed that introduces Al and Ce into CaCO 3 powders. After 50 cycles, the conversion rates of CaCO 3 -based composites exceed 80 % and the heat storage densities reach 1600 kJ/kg, with the composite with a Ca:Al:Ce molar ratio of 100:10:2.5 exhibiting exceptional stability. This high performance is attributed to oxygen vacancies generated by Ce 3+ and the porous structure preserved by Al 3+ throughout the cycling process. Furthermore, the adsorption energies of the CaO-based composites (pertaining to the (002) plane) are calculated using density functional theory. The results showed that the N-10 M ratio can decrease the adsorption energy of CaO for CO 2 from −1.5006 to −1.6718 eV and shorten the bond length between C CO2 and O CaO from 1.41 to 1.38 Å. Furthermore, PDOS curves of C and O on N-10 exhibit a significant shift toward lower energy regions. These results demonstrate that the addition of Al and Ce can enhance the CO 2 -capture capacity. Alongside presenting a new doping strategy, this study elucidates the microscopic physical mechanism by which Al and Ce improve the properties of CaO-based materials, offering valuable guidance for developing high-performance TCES materials for CSP applications.

Transition metal selenides (TMSs) are promising candidates for positive electrodes of rechargeable Al batteries (RABs) owing to their appealing merits of high specific capacity and relatively low-cost. However, TMSs suffer from fast capacity fading. To tackle the dramatic capacity loss in TMS positive electrode, herein, we design a coordination adsorption strategy into RABs using CuSe as a conversion-type positive electrode material , with significantly enhanced cycling stability and rate capability. Ex situ X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and electron microscopy measurements unveil that both Cu and Se species experience reversible redox reaction during the charge/discharge processes and the fast capacity-deterioration is due to the dissolution of electroactive Cu and Se species into the electrolyte. Theoretical calculations reveal that the suppressed shuttle effects can be attributed to the presence of strong coordination interaction between nitrogen-doped reduced graphene oxide and the soluble active Cu and Se species. Consequently, such delicately engineered RABs exhibit an excellent cycling stability of 216.1 mA h g −1 after 500 cycles at 500 mA g −1 with an outstanding rate performance. This study offers an alternative approach to restrain the shuttle effects of active species for achieving advanced RAB system, with the potential importance far beyond the battery chemistry.

To study the effect of the addition of potassium perchlorate (KClO4) on the performance of nano thermites, Al/Bi2O3 nano thermites with different mass fraction (wt%) of KClO4 was made by ultrasonic dispersion method. Then, all samples were tested by SEM, DSC and rapid excitation ignition. DSC results showed Al/Bi2O3/10 wt%KClO4 had the highest heat release. Compared with Al/Bi2O3, the heat release increased by 28.32%. The results of activation energy calculations showed Al/Bi2O3/30 wt%KClO4 had the lowest activation energy (Ea). Its activation energy was reduced by 30%, mere about 149.17 KJ mol−1. Finally, it can be seen from the combustion situation that the addition of KClO4 reduced the intensity of burning. This work found a way to increase the heat release or reduce the activation energy of nano thermites by controlling the amount of KClO4 added.

Magnéli-phase Ti 4 O 7 exhibits broadband photothermal conversion but suffers from rapid oxidation to optically inactive TiO 2 , severely restricting its deployment in high-temperature solar-thermal systems. Here, we demonstrate that Al doping provides an effective dual-function strategy to simultaneously enhance the oxidation resistance and optical stability of Ti 4 O 7 while maintaining its intrinsic photothermal performance. Al-doped Ti 4 O 7 powders (0–10 at. %) were synthesized via hydrogen reduction, and their structural evolution, oxidation kinetics, and spectral responses were systematically evaluated under controlled oxidative environments (300–500 °C, 2–10 h). Al 3+ incorporation induces lattice distortion and electronic localization, which increase oxygen migration barriers and suppress electron-assisted oxidation. During annealing, Al–O–Ti species progressively transform into Al–O–Al–enriched surface layers, forming a robust diffusion barrier that significantly retards the Ti 4 O 7 → TiO 2 conversion. As a result, the 10 at. % Al-doped sample retains a high solar absorptance of 95.8% after 400 °C/10 h oxidation, outperforming undoped Ti 4 O 7 (92.2%). Moreover, controlled oxidation produces Ti 4 O 7 @TiO 2 core–shell structures with statistically enhanced near-infrared absorption arising from multiple interfacial reflections and scattering–induced phase accumulation. Kinetic analysis confirms reduced oxidation rates and increased activation barriers across the full temperature window. These results establish Al-doped Ti 4 O 7 as a durable, thermally stable photothermal material suitable for solar selective absorbing coatings, concentrated solar power receivers, and other high-temperature chemical engineering processes requiring long-term optical and structural robustness.

The dissimilar metals joining of Ti/Cu was conducted using a rapid thermal explosion (TE) reaction. The Ni-Al powder mixture was used as TE reaction system, and the effect of temperature (600, 700, 800 and 900 °C) on interfacial diffusions, microstructure and mechanical properties of Ti/Cu joint were investigated. The maximum combustion temperature of Ni-Al interlayer during heating process was 720 °C and a significant exothermic phenomenon was observed for 5 s. The infiltration of melted Al into the Ti/Cu substrate and formed a continuous transition region at the interface of the joints were the dominant joining mechanisms. Microhardness of the interlayer after heated at 900 °C for 30 min possessed prominent improvement from 32.6 to 101.7 HV due to the completely phase transformation of Ni-Al interlayer, which composed of main phase NiAl and minor phase Ni 3 Al. The bond strength of the joint was checked to assess the joint quality. For the joint processed by 900 °C for 30 min, the maximum shear strength of Ti/NiAl and Cu/NiAl were 33.4 MPa and 39 MPa, respectively.

We report on a study on the influence of Plasma activated sintering (PAS) parameters on the microstructure and mechanical properties of aluminum matrix composites (AMCs). In this paper a commercial Al alloy (7075) reinforced with 7.5 wt.% B 4 C were synthesized using PAS. Specifically, we studied the influence of temperature, in the range of 450 °C to 540 °C, and holding time on the densification behavior of Al-7075/B 4 C composites. Moreover, the influence of residual porosity on mechanical properties of Al-7075/B 4 C composites was established via measurements of Vickers hardness, bending and compressive strength. High mechanical properties including Vickers hardness 181.6 HV, bending strength 1100.3 MPa, high compression yield strength 878.0 MPa and fracture strength 469.3 MPa of the consolidated Al-7075/B 4 C composite sintered at 530 °C for 3 min were achieved and attributed to a fully dense microstructure and a strong interface between matrix and reinforcement.

The issue of water pollution has emerged as a formidable challenge, prompting a pressing need for solutions. The utilization of metal nanoparticles with surface plasmon resonance and semiconductor composite photocatalysts is regarded as a highly effective approach to solve this problem. g-C 3 N 4 is an effective catalyst for the degradation of organic pollutants. Its photocatalytic performance is usually enhanced by the use of the noble metal Au Ag. However, the high cost of these materials limits their application. In this study, we present the synthesis of Al NPs/g-C 3 N 4 nanocomposites using the bridging effect of ligands. The characterized of transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffractometer (XRD) and ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis) proved that Al NPs/g-C 3 N 4 with a wider light absorption range were successfully synthesized. The effects of ligands, (glutathione (GSH), glutamic acid (GAG), and cysteine (CYS)), Al diameter (40 to 200 nm) and the ratio of Al to g-C 3 N 4 (1:1 to 5:1) on the photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue (MB) by Al NPs/g-C 3 N 4 were also evaluated. The results showed that the optimum degradation efficiency of Al NPs/g-C 3 N 4 for MB at 5 mg/L reached 100% within 60 min, which was 11 times higher than that of pure g-C 3 N 4 . The principal analysis of Al enhancing the photocatalytic performance of g-C 3 N 4 was studied through transient photocurrent spectroscopy (TPC), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), and steady-state transient fluorescence spectroscopy (PL). The results confirmed that hot carriers generated by localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) of Al nanoparticles increase the carrier concentration. In addition, the Schottky barrier generated by Al and g-C 3 N 4 could also improve the carrier separation rate and increase the carrier lifetime. This work is expected to solve the problem of organic wastewater treatment and lay the foundation for subsequent research on photocatalysis. Graphical abstract
