The printing and dyeing wastewater produced by different dyes, as well as different printing and dyeing processes, have different components. These wastewater have high toxicity, high organic concentration, and deep chromaticity. Ozone catalytic oxidation is a very promising technical method for wastewater treatment. In this paper, Mn/Mg/Ce ternary catalyst was prepared, and the ozone catalytic oxidation treatment of actual and simulated printing and dyeing wastewater was performed to study the performance of four different carrier catalysts, namely, molecular sieve (MS), silica gel (SG), attapulgite (ATP), and nano alumina (Al2O3), by simulated dynamic test. The effects of reaction time, pH, and catalyst dosage on methyl orange degradation were studied. The results showed that under the optimum treatment conditions (120 min, pH 11, and 12.5 g/L catalyst dosage), the degradation rate of methyl orange reached 96% and the removal rate of the chemical oxygen demand of printing and dyeing wastewater reached 48.7%. This study shows that the treatment effect of ozone catalytic oxidation on printing and dyeing wastewater is remarkably improved after catalyst addition. This study provides a new choice of ozone catalyst for the degradation of printing and dyeing wastewaters in the future.

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%.

In recent years, microbial pollution has become a serious environmental problem, and the release of microorganisms into the water environment seriously threatens human health. As environment-friendly and low-cost antibacterial agents, Mg(OH)2 nanoparticles (M-NPs) have garnered considerable attention for their small size, innocuity, no drug resistance, chemical stability and thermal stability. However, little is known about the physiological changes that bacteria undergo in the presence of M-NPs. In this work, the antibacterial mechanism of M-NPs synthesized by applying the coprecipitation method was investigated using Escherichia coli (E. coli) as a model system. The oxygen vacancies on the M-NP surface, which can produce reactive oxygen species (ROS, ·O2−, H2O2, and ·OH), were examined via O2-temperature programmed desorption (O2-TPD). Abnormality in three central metabolic pathways (energy, glucose and tricarboxylic acid cycle) induced by M-NPs was detected by analyzing the activity of respiratory chain dehydrogenase, gluconokinase (GK) and succinate dehydrogenase (SDH). The downregulated activity and gene expression levels of GK confirmed that M-NPs play an inhibitory role, and these physiological changes result in cell death. Thus, M-NPs have great potential in the field of preventing and controlling microbial pollution.

A Ni–Mg bimetal-doped Zn(O,S) photocatalyst has been synthesized, characterized, and tested for several photocatalytic applications. The hydrogen generation reaction, hydrogenation reaction for chemical transformation, detoxification of hexavalent chromium, and mixed dye (MB + RhB + MO) degradation under simulated solar-light illumination were confirmed. The essential characterization results indicated improved oxygen vacancy sites on the catalyst with enhanced photoresponse, better photocarrier separation, and facile charge transfer properties. A typical catalyst, NMZ-S10, was evaluated with a 1000-cycle CV test to demonstrate its long-term use for industrial application. Stable reusability experiments for the HER, PHR, PHC reaction, and PDM also supported the long-term application. The photocatalytic HER of NMZ-S10 could evolve hydrogen at a rate of 4000 μmol g−1 h−1. 30 ppm azobenzene-to-aniline conversion was completely done in 2 h of reaction. Detoxification of 30 ppm hexavalent chromium was conducted in 70 min of reaction. Finally, 10.5 ppm MB–RhB–MO mixed dye degradation was carried out in 1 h of reaction. The as-synthesized NMZ-S10 catalyst has demonstrated its capability to overcome energy and environmental issues promisingly. The great photocatalytic activities are discussed and elucidated with a plausible mechanism to rationalize the superb catalytic performance.

Magnesium (Mg) alloys can be regarded as the most promising biodegradable implant materials for orthopedic and stent applications due to their good biocompatibility and low Young's modulus which is near to that of natural bone. However, its applicability is hindered because it exhibits a high corrosion rate in the physiological environments. In this work, we fabricated Mg 66 Zn 30 Ca 4 /Fe bulk metallic glass composites via spark plasma sintering (SPS). We studied the influence of different contents of Fe on the properties of the composites. The results indicated that Fe was uniformly distributed on the surface of Mg 66 Zn 30 Ca 4 metallic glass (MG) as a second phase, which led to an improvement in the corrosion resistance and mechanical strength. The standard potential of Mg 66 Zn 30 Ca 4 /Fe bulk metallic glass (BMG) composites increased as compared to Mg 66 Zn 30 Ca 4 , while their mechanical strength improved from 355 MPa to 616 MPa. Furthermore, cytotoxicity was investigated via the CCK-8 assay and calcein-AM staining, which revealed that the extraction mediums diluted 6 times (EM × 6) of the Mg 66 Zn 30 Ca 4 and Mg 66 Zn 30 Ca 4 /Fe did not cause cell toxicity on day 3 and 5, while the EM × 6 of the Mg 66 Zn 30 Ca 4 showed cytotoxicity on day 1, 3 and 5. Thus, Mg 66 Zn 30 Ca 4 /Fe BMG composites exhibit significant potential for fabricating implants with good mechanical strength and corrosion resistance.

The utilization of renewable biomass cellulose in treating pollution of heavy metal ions (HMIs) is one of overarching and appealing strategies, because it simultaneously satisfies sustainable development and resolves ever-increasing environmental issue. In this regard, the composite cellulose@Mg(OH) 2 was prepared via a facile method and explored for its use as water treatment agent. It is demonstrated that the smaller and thinner hexagonal Mg(OH) 2 flakes are constructed onto the cellulose substrate by self-assembling; two components are chemically coupled via hydrogen bonds and Mg-O c (cellulose oxygen) dative bonds; what’s more, the coupling of cellulose with Mg(OH) 2 (1 0 1) facet is much more preferential than with (0 0 1) facet. The resultant composite material shows remarkable HMI removal performance: large capacities of 734.9, 595.8 and 1473.1 mg g −1 for Cd 2+ , Cu 2+ and Pb 2+ , respectively. Further assisted by good shaping property of the cellulose substrate, the composite is capable of being made into filter, which practically separates HMIs and purifies wastewater with high removal efficiency (99.99%) for Cd 2+ even after operating for 110 days and potable water can be obtained. The mechanism is delineated with removal models and characterizations of HMI-recovered products.

Magnesium alloys, the advanced lightweight structural materials, have been successfully applied in the manufacturing field. Unfortunately, their poor corrosion resistance restrains the potential wide applications. In this work, anti-corrosion coatings were fabricated via the in-situ growth of the corrosion inhibitors intercalated magnesium-aluminum layered double hydroxide (Mg–Al LDH) on AZ31 magnesium alloy and then post-sealing it by a super-hydrophobic coating. SEM, XRD, EDS, FTIR, XPS and contact angle test were conducted to analyze physical/chemical features of these coatings. Potentiodynamic polarization curves and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy were recorded to assess the anti-corrosion performance of prepared coatings. Surprisingly, Mg–Al LDH with molybdate intercalation and lauric acid modification achieves the excellent corrosion inhibition performance (99.99%) due to the multicomponent synergistic effect such as the physical protection of Mg–Al LDH, the corrosion inhibition of molybdate and super-hydrophobic properties of lauric acid. This work presents a scientific perspective and novel design philosophy to fabricate the efficient anti-corrosion coating to protect magnesium alloys and then expand their potential applications in other field.

As a powerful process intensification strategy, chemical looping shows a promising future to achieve an integrated CO 2 capture and utilization for reducing CO 2 emissions and energy-cost penalties. Herein, a bifunctional Ca-Fe-Mg material derived from layered double hydroxide (LDH) was synthesized and used in chemical looping reforming process for integrated CO 2 capture and utilization. Reactivity tests and detailed characterization techniques are performed to examine and explain the performance of this material. 900 °C is determined as a suitable reforming temperature, since more syngas production is obtained (2.5 times of at 800 °C). The presence of Ca induces a synergetic interaction between Ca and Fe to implement an enhanced performance of syngas contents and stable H 2 /CO ratio. The activity deactivation of the material derives from the phase transition of Ca 2 Fe 2 O 5 to MgFe 2 O 4 , crystal size variation and particle agglomeration. Compared to a reference coprecipitated material, LDH derived Ca-Fe-Mg material shows an enhanced syngas production, due to its highly dispersion of CO 2 sorption and reforming active sites. This work provides a new route to rationally design bifunctional material for integrated CO 2 capture and utilization.

Poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-chlorotrifluoroethylene) (PVDF-CTFE) is considered an ideal membrane material for the treatment of complex environmental water due to its exceptional thermal stability and chemical resistance. Thus, to expand its application in the field of nanofiltration (NF) membranes, in this study, N-methylglucamine (N-MG) was used to hydrophilically modify PVDF-CTFE, overcoming the inherent hydrophobicity of PVDF-CTFE as a porous substrate membrane, which leads to difficulties in controlling the interfacial polymerization (IP) reaction and instability of the separation layer structure. The –OH present in N-MG could replace the C–Cl bond in the CTFE chain segment, thus enabling the hydrophilic graft modification of PVDF-CTFE. The influence of the addition of N-MG on the surface and pore structure, wettability, permeability, ultrafiltration separation, and mechanical properties of the PVDF-CTFE substrate membrane was studied. According to the comparison of the comprehensive capabilities of the prepared porous membranes, the M4 membrane with the addition of 1.5 wt% N-MG exhibited the best hydrophilicity and permeability, indicating that it is a desirable modified membrane for use as an NF substrate membrane. The experiments showed that the rejection of Na2SO4 by the NF membrane was 96.5% and greater than 94.0% for various dyes. In the test using dye/salt mixed solution, this membrane exhibited a good separation selectivity (CR/NaCl = 177.8) and long-term operational stability.

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.

This study utilized a straightforward one-step method, melt extrusion , to blend polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) with 9,9-bis[4-(2-hydroxyethoxy)phenyl]fluorene (BPEF) to fabricate optically transparent polymer blends , utilizing Mg(TFSI) 2 as the catalyst for the ester exchange reaction. All polymer blends demonstrated excellent mechanical and optical properties , achieving high transparency (≥90 %) in the visible spectrum. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) results indicated that the blends formed a thermodynamically homogeneous system. Additionally, gel permeation chromatography (GPC) confirmed the occurrence of ester exchange reactions between PMMA and BPEF in both salted and unsalted blends. Very interestingly, without Mg(TFSI) 2 one hydroxyl group of BPEF is linked to PMMA side group through transesterification reaction, leading to a zero birefringence . Nonetheless, the inclusion of Mg(TFSI) 2 appears to facilitate the ester exchange reaction between both hydroxyl groups of BPEF and a single PMMA chain, which causes a cyclic ring structure. Such cyclic ring structure orients parallel to the planar plan, which then increases n // and also Δn.

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.
