Three phosphates Rb2Zn3(P2O7)2 and Cs2M3(P2O7)2 (M = Zn and Mg) were successfully synthesized by a high-temperature solution method. Their structures were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, which shows that the three structures all display three-dimensional [M3P4O20]14− (M = Zn and Mg) frameworks composed of isolated P2O7 dimers and MO4 (M = Zn and Mg) tetrahedra with Rb+/Cs+ cations located in the space of the frameworks to balance charges. But owing to the cationic size effect, they are not iso-structural. Rb2Zn3(P2O7)2 crystallizes in the non-centrosymmetric P21 space group, whereas Cs2M3(P2O7)2 (M = Zn and Mg) crystallize in the centrosymmetric P21/c space group. And Rb2Zn3(P2O7)2 exhibits a second harmonic generation (SHG) response as large as that of KH2PO4 (KDP). Combining electronic structure and SHG density calculations, we studied the effects of ZnO4 tetrahedra on the SHG response of Rb2Zn3(P2O7)2. Furthermore, a structural comparison is also carried out in Rb2Zn3(P2O7)2 and Cs2M3(P2O7)2 (M = Zn and Mg).

We report the C substitution effects in MgB 2 bulks on the lattice parameters, FWHM, and critical current density ( J c ) as a function of doping level. It is shown that using carbon-coated boron powder can effectively control the grain growth of MgB 2 during the whole sintering process. Accompanied by the rapid cooling process, the final average grain size can be restrained within merely 50 nm, and the J c value of the sample can be significantly improved at high field. On top of that, adding Cu is also considered a key factor in improving the current carrying property of the graphene-doped sample throughout the whole field, which can be attributed to the formation of the MgCu 2 alloy phase.

Magnesium alloy with good application potential has a poor corrosion resistance, so it is essential to develop a new corrosion inhibitor and investigate the inhibition mechanism for magnesium alloy. In this work, three vapor phase corrosion inhibitors (VCIs) were used for AZ31B magnesium alloy under a simulated ocean–atmosphere environment, and the inhibition behaviors and mechanisms were studied. The inhibition performances of the three VCIs were evaluated by Digital Still Camera, electrochemical tests and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) combined with X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) was used to further explore the inhibition mechanism. Compared to benzoic acid and ammonium benzoate, o-phthalic anhydride can provide the best protection for AZ31B magnesium alloy. The i corr was reduced from 11.18 μ A cm − 2 (blank) to 0.65 μ A cm − 2 and the ( R f + R ct ) was increased from 1478.1 Ω cm 2 (blank) to 3129.8 Ω cm 2 with o-phthalic anhydride as VCI. O-phthalic anhydride combined with Mg 2 + to form different complexes with different molecular weights, which developed a more compact protective film on the AZ31B surface. Overall, the o-phthalic anhydride can be utilized as an excellent VCI for AZ31B magnesium alloy in a simulated ocean–atmosphere environment.

Contrary to the traditional strengthening route by adding multiple & high-dosage alloying elements, we here explored extremely compositional and phase-constituent “simplification” in rare earth (RE) containing biodegradable magnesium alloys for better biocompatibility. An ultra-lean Mg-0.1Pr alloy with a multiscale microstructure has been developed through casting and extrusion, which showed well-balanced performances that match the commercial Mg-based orthopedic products. Compared to the first clinically approved WE43 magnesium alloy, the complex RE addition (7 wt.%) in WE43 is simplified into one single RE (0.1 wt.%) with its content having a 70-fold reduction in the newly developed alloy, while without impairing mechanical properties (tensile strength: 285.6 MPa). This also leads to a mild degradation rate, a good cell & tissue compatibility and osteogenic capacity both in vitro and in vivo . The simplified Mg-0.1Pr alloy exhibits excellent local and systemic biocompatibility in the femoral condyle of rats during a 16-month long-term follow-up, with this period approximately covering the entire life cycle of the implant. In addition, the Mg-0.1Pr alloy exhibits a significantly lowered RE transfer and accumulation in rats compared to other Mg-RE alloys, which possibly alleviates the RE metabolic burden to main organs. Pr is neither accumulated in the corrosion product layer nor in the surrounding bones. This work provides a new solution to maintain the high performance of Mg-RE alloys with extremely compositional “plainification”, which should further benefit for the safety and reliability of RE-strengthened biodegradable metals in the long-term.

BaTiO 3 -1.6MnO 2 - x Er 2 O 3 ceramics (abbreviated as BMT- x Er) and BaTiO 3 -1.6MnO 2 -3Er 2 O 3 - x MgO ceramics (abbreviated as BEMT- x Mg) were prepared under a reducing atmosphere by solid-state synthesis method in this work. The effects of Er/Mg co-doping on phase transformation, microstructure, dielectric properties, and defect were systematically investigated. Research shows that Er-doping reduces the Curie temperature and increases the dielectric constant of BaTiO 3 ceramics at low temperatures. Mg-doping refines the grain size and makes the grain size distribution more uniform, which is an important reason for the enhanced bias stability. The substitution of Mg at the B-site generates additional oxygen vacancies which capture free electrons and simultaneously forms defect dipoles. The anti-reducing properties are improved by reducing the carrier concentration. The synergistic effect of co-doping forms defect dipoles such as [ Mg Ti ″ ‐ 2 Er Ba ∙ ] , [ Mg Ti ″ ‐ V O ∙ ∙ ] and [ 2 Er Ti ′ ‐ V O ∙ ∙ ] to enhance dielectric relaxation behavior which is considered to be the reason for the improved dielectric temperature stability. When x = 0.4, optimized dielectric ceramics are obtained with ε 25°C = 1820, tanδ = 0.009, resistivity of 1.0 × 10 11 Ω·cm, which meets the EIA X7R standard (−55 °C - 125 °C, TCC ≤ ± 15 %).

Although Mg alloy-based hydrides have been considered as promising solid-state materials due to their high capacity and low cost, the high dehydrogenation temperature of ∼ 300℃ severely limited their practical application. Herein, a series of Mg-based quaternary alloys of Mg 85 Ni 5 Cu 5 M 5 (M = Al, Zn, Co, La) hydrides were prepared by a combination of meltspinning and ball milling process, demonstrating an efficient approach to promoting the hydrogen storage properties. Among them, the Mg 85 Ni 5 Cu 5 La 5 hydride (H-Mg 85 Ni 5 Cu 5 La 5 ) as the most excellent one starts to release hydrogen from 175℃, 125℃ lower than that of MgH 2 . Especially, the peak hydrogen release temperature of H-Mg 85 Ni 5 Cu 5 La 5 was remarkedly reduced from 347℃ to 253℃, compared with MgH 2 . Additionally, the H-Mg 85 Ni 5 Cu 5 La 5 presented an impressive initial hydrogen capacity of 4.2 wt% with a high-capacity retention of 92.6 % over 10 dehydrogenation cycles. In/Ex-situ XRD analyses proved that the synergistic effects of in-situ formed metallic Ni and LaH 2 catalytic phases during the milling and ab/desorption processes can simultaneously enhance the ab/desorption kinetics of Mg/MgH 2 . That is, the LaH 2 can act as a hydrogen pump to promote the dehydrogenation of hydrides, while the Ni is beneficial to accelerate the dissociation of metal-hydrogen atoms and the formation of hydrogen molecules on the surface of Mg alloy. These findings highlight the potential of multicomponent Mg-based alloys for practical use in solid-state hydrogen storage systems through in-situ formed catalytic phases.

Li-rich layered oxides (LRLOs), with the advantages of high specific capacity and low cost, are considered as candidates for the next-generation cathode of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). Unfortunately, sluggish kinetics and interfacial degradation lead to capacity loss and voltage decay of the material during cycling. To address these issues, we propose a Ni/Mg dual concentration-gradient modification strategy for LRLOs. From the center to the surface of the modified materials, the contents of Ni and Mg are gradually increased while the content of Mn is decreased. The high Ni content on the surface increases the proportion of cationic redox, elevating the operating voltage and accelerating reaction kinetics. Moreover, the doped Mg on the surface of the material acting as a stabilizing pillar suppresses the migration of transition metals, stabilizing the layered structure. Therefore, the material with the Ni/Mg dual concentration-gradients delivers a superior electrochemical performance, exhibiting a suppressed voltage decay of 2.8 mV per cycle during 200 cycles (1 C, 2–4.8 V) and an excellent rate capability of 94.84 mAh/g at 7C. This study demonstrates a synergic design to construct high-performance LRLO cathode materials for LIBs.

Electrolyzing seawater presents a promising strategy to address the energy crisis. The optimally sulfur-doped S 0.45 -MnCr layered double hydroxide (LDH) catalyst demonstrates exceptional hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) performance in alkaline seawater at 50 °C, requiring overpotentials of only 57.9 mV and 245.4 mV to achieve 10 and 500 mA cm −2 , respectively. For overall seawater splitting, it requires only 1.72 V to deliver 100 mA cm −2 . When used as a cathode in a magnesium-seawater batteries (MSBs), it delivers a power density of 7.80 mW cm −2 . Sulfur doping simultaneously triggers the formation of highly active MnCO 3 during synthesis. Characterization confirms that sulfur doping promotes chromium leaching, thereby enlarging the electrochemical active surface area (ECSA). In situ XRD analysis at various potentials verifies the formation of additional active MnCO 3 species during HER, consistent with the activity enhancement observed in chronopotentiometric measurements. This work offers novel insights for designing bifunctional catalysts for direct seawater electrolysis.

In this paper, we report on the fabrication of MXenes sandwiched by carbon nanospheres (MXenes@C) and their application as an electrode for magnesium-ion storage. The heterostructure synthesis is realized via electrostatic interactions between negatively charged 2D MXene nanosheets and positively charged 3D carbon nanospheres. This approach effectively opens up the interlayer and prevents the restacking of MXene nanosheets, thus promoting the electrolyte transport and shortening the ion diffusion path. Through ex situ X-ray diffraction characterization and density functional theory computations, the magnesiation/demagnesiation mechanism and Mg-migration kinetics of the tailored Ti3C2Tx@C nanospheres are elucidated. Using Ti3C2Tx@C as a cathode for magnesium-ion batteries, a remarkable reversible specific capacity (198.7 mA h g−1 at 10 mA g−1), outstanding rate capability (123.3 mA h g−1 at 200 mA g−1), and impressive cycling stability (∼85% capacity retention after 400 cycles) are achieved. This method can also be applied to other MXenes, such as V2CTx, to prepare a sandwich-structure with nice rate performance and cycle life. The synthesis of MXene@C nanospheres using a simple self-assembly method offers new and feasible avenues to develop promising Mg-storage materials with excellent capacity and long cycle life.

A glassy carbon electrode (GCE) modified with Mg-Al-SDS hydrotalcite-like clay (SDS-HTLC) was used for the sensitive voltammetric determination of 2-nitrophenol (2-NP) utilizing the oxidation process. The results indicate the prepared modified electrode has an excellent electrocatalytic activity toward 2-NP oxidation, lowering the oxidation overpotential and increasing the oxidation current. Under optimal conditions, the oxidation current was proportional to 2-NP concentration in the range from 1.0×10 −6 to 6.0×10 −4 M with the detection limit of 5.0×10 −7 M by DPV ( S / N =3). The fabricated electrode was applied for 2-NP determination in water samples and the recovery for these samples was from 95.6 to 103.5%.

Mg/Zr/Nb tri-doping jointly stabilizes Ni-rich layered cathodes under harsh operating conditions. • Tri-doping reduces Li + /Ni 2+ mixing and stabilizes the transition-metal layer and oxygen framework. • MZN-NCM delivers excellent cycling stability at room temperature, high temperature, and high cutoff voltage. • Mg/Zr/Nb co-doping improves charge transfer and Li + diffusion, enhancing the durability of Ni-rich cathodes. Ni-rich layered cathode materials (LiNi x M 1-x O 2 , x ≥ 0.8) offer high capacity and high energy density, but their cycling stability severely suffers from Li + /Ni 2+ cation mixing, H2-H3 phase-transition strain, interfacial side reactions, and sluggish Li + transport, especially under harsh conditions such as elevated temperature and high cutoff voltage. In this work, a Mg/Zr/Nb tri-doping strategy is proposed to construct Li(Ni 0.9 Co 0.05 Mn 0.05 ) 0.97 Zr 0.01 Mg 0.01 Nb 0.01 O 2 (MZN-NCM) cathode for synergistic stabilization under different operating conditions. The results show that Mg/Zr/Nb co-doping regulates the Ni valence distribution, reduces Li + /Ni 2+ cation mixing, enhances the stability of the transition-metal layer and oxygen framework, and suppresses interfacial side reactions and CEI degradation during cycling. MZN-NCM retains 90.1% of its capacity after 100 cycles at 25 °C and 89.8% at 60 °C, compared with only 59.8% and 41.7% for Pristine-NCM, respectively. Under a high cutoff voltage of 4.5 V, MZN-NCM also maintains a higher capacity retention of 87.7% after 100 cycles. Moreover, kinetic and interfacial chemical analyses indicate that multielement doping improves both charge-transfer behavior and Li + diffusion, enabling a synergistic enhancement of structural stability, interfacial stability, and ion transport. This work demonstrates that Mg/Zr/Nb synergistic doping is an effective material-design strategy for extending the applicable operating conditions of Ni-rich cathodes.

Heavy metal contamination in industrial wastewater remains a critical global environmental concern. In this study, an Al/Mg/Zr-MOF (AMZ-MOF) was synthesized via a solvothermal method and systematically evaluated for Cr (VI) removal from aqueous solutions. Comparative analysis demonstrated that AMZ-MOF exhibited superior Cr (VI) removal efficiency relative to pristine Zr-MOF, Mg/Zr-MOF, and Al/Zr-MOF. The synthesized AMZ-MOF composite was subjected to comprehensive characterization using FESEM, TEM, XRD, BET, FTIR, and XPS analyses. The study systematically investigated the influence of key operational parameters, including contact time, temperature, pH, and initial Cr (VI) concentration, on the composite’s sorption behavior. AMZ-MOF demonstrated exceptional performance, achieving a maximum Cr (VI) sorption capacity of 185.2 mg/g. Remarkably, the sorbent exhibited rapid initial uptake kinetics, reaching adsorption equilibrium within 120 min. Mechanistic insight was gained through adsorption isotherm and kinetic modeling, revealing that the process is best described by the Langmuir isotherm and the Pseudo-Second-Order kinetic model, suggesting monolayer adsorption onto a heterogeneous surface and chemisorption as the rate-limiting step, respectively. Further FTIR and XPS analyses corroborated the proposed sorption mechanism, clarifying the key functional groups and surface interactions involved in Cr (VI) removal. The proposed adsorbent demonstrated excellent reusability over five adsorption–desorption cycles, underscoring its stability and practical potential for Cr (VI) remediation.
