The processing of C6 sugars to alkyl levulinate (AL), a versatile biomass-derived building block, can be readily implemented via the straightforward acid-catalyzed reaction in alcohol medium while it remains a challenge to produce AL from C5 sugars in the one-pot procedure over a monolithic catalyst. In this contribution, a budget and multifunctional natural lignocellulose welded Zr–Al bimetallic hybrid (ZrAl@CS-MSA) has been successfully constructed with crude corn stalk as a sustainable support. The becoming Lewis and Brønsted acid sites of ZrAl@CS-MSA catalyst guarantee a high AL yield of 54.3% from xylose via a one-pot process in a renewable n -butanol medium. Experimental findings revealed that the sulfonic group of ZrAl@CS-MSA plays a significant role in the xylose dehydration, furfuryl alcohol etherification and alcoholysis reactions while Zr species is in charge of the transfer hydrogenation of furfural. The Al species enclosed in ZrAl@CS-MSA can regulate its Brønsted and Lewis acidity, accelerating the etherification and alcoholysis reactions as well as alleviating the over hydrogenation of AL. This work opens a green, sustainable and reliable avenue for producing C5 sugar-based AL using natural lignocellulose-related multifunctional catalysts.

Lead halide perovskites have received extensive attention due to their excellent photoelectric and photonic properties. However, low stability is an obstacle to material production and optoelectronic applications. In this research study, CsPbBr3/Cs2SiF6:Mn4+ rivet nanostructured perovskites coated with ZnS and self-passivation layers have been synthesized. The rivet nanostructured perovskites are applied in tunable white light-emitting diode (WLED) devices and tunable flexible white electroluminescent (EL) devices. The red and green dual-wavelength tunable luminescence in the rivet nanostructured perovskites has been obtained via Cs ion sharing. Upon the addition of ZnS and a self-passivation aluminum layer coating on the surface of the rivet perovskites, the photoluminescence (PL) intensity and the stability increased by 588.7 and 323.6%, respectively. In addition, a series of spectrally tunable WLED devices with an InGaN blue LED chip and flexible white EL devices is fabricated using the CsPbBr3/Cs2SiF6:Mn4+/2ZnS/Al rivet nanostructured perovskites. The tunable WLED devices can produce standard white light and cold and warm white light. The tunable EL devices produce luminescence even at 60° bending. By studying the temperature-dependent PL spectra of CsPbBr3/Cs2SiF6:Mn4+/nZnS/Al rivet nanostructured perovskites, the energy transfer mechanism at cryogenic and room temperatures is analyzed. At the same time, the protection principle of the self-passivation coating on the CsPbBr3/Cs2SiF6:Mn4+ rivet nanostructured perovskites is discussed.

The up-conversion features of lanthanide-doped nanocrystals endow them with promising application potential in optical encoding, optical temperature sensing, bioimaging, diagnostics, and therapeutics. Here, tailoring the local structure to enhance the up-conversion luminescence intensity was achieved through chemical substitution with Al in KYbF4: Er3+ up-conversion nanoparticles (UCNPs). Moreover, the as-explored KYb0.98-xAlxF4: 0.02 Er3+ exhibits a superior temperature-dependent up-conversion performance. Herein, the relative sensitivity of the 2H11/2/4S3/2 thermally coupled levels (TCLs) and 4F9/2/4S3/2 non-thermally coupled levels (NTCLs), particularly below the room temperature, was evaluated. This indicates the potential application of the as-explored UCNPs with improved up-conversion performance as an optical temperature sensor for low temperature detection.

The Al coatings were electrodeposited on the Cu substrate from AlCl3-EMIC ionic liquid (AlCl3:EMIC = 2:1 molar ratio) containing three cyanopyridine additives with different positions of the substituent group on the pyridine ring, which were 2-cyanopyridine, 3-cyanopyridine, and 4-cyanopyridine. The effects of cyanopyridine additives on the deposition potential, morphology, brightness, and corrosion properties of Al coatings were investigated. It was considered that the deposition potential of Al shifted to more negative overpotentials, the quality of Al coatings was promoted, and the corrosion property was improved by the cyanopyridine additives to a varying degree. Especially in the presence of 4-cyanopyridine, the flattest mirror bright Al coating was obtained, which had the smallest homogeneous nanocrystal grain size and strongest Al (200) crystallographic orientation. The average roughness Ra value was as low as 31 nm compared to that in the absence of cyanopyridine additives, which was 417 nm. Furthermore, the corrosion current density of the bright Al coating was three orders of magnitude lower than the rough Al coating, which resulted from the dense nanocrystal structure.Keywords:bright Al;electrodeposition;ionic liquids;cyanopyridine;additives

The main problem for the application of hydrogen generated via hydrolysis of metal alloys is the low hydrogen generation rate (HGR). In this paper, active Al alloys were prepared using a new coupled method-melting-mechanical crushing-mechanical ball milling method to enhance the HGR at room temperature. This method contains three steps, including the melting of Al, Ga, In, and Sn ingots with low melting alloy blocks and casting into plates, then crushing alloy plate into powders and ball milling with chloride salts such as NiCl2and CoCl2were added during the ball milling process. The microstructure and phase compositions of Al alloys and reaction products were investigated via X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersed X-ray spectroscopy. The low-melting-point Ga-In -Sn (GIS) phases contain a large amount of Al can act as a transmission medium for Al, which improves the diffusion of Al to Al/H2O reaction sites. Finer GIS phases after ball milling can further enhance the diffusion of Al and thus enhance the activity of Al alloy. The hydrogen generation performance through hydrolysis of water with Al at room temperature was investigated. The results show that the H2generation performance of the Al-low-melting point alloy composite powder is significantly higher than the results reported to date. The highest H2generation rate and H2conversion efficiency can reach 5337 mL·min−1·g−1for the hydrolysis of water with 1 g active alloy.Keywords:aluminum alloys;melting-crushing-ball milling;hydrogen generation performance;hydrogen storage

Aluminum–metal batteries show great potential as next-generation energy storage due to their abundant resources and intrinsic safety. However, the crucial limitations of metallic Al anodes, such as dendrite and corrosion problems in conventional aluminum–metal batteries, remain challenging and elusive. Here, we report a novel electrodeposition strategy to prepare an optimized 3D Al anode on carbon cloth with an uniform deposition morphology, low local current density, and mitigatory volume change. The symmetrical cells with the 3D Al anode show superior stable cycling (>450 h) and low-voltage hysteresis (~170 mV) at 0.5 mA cm −2 . High reversibility (~99.7%) is achieved for the Al plating/stripping. The graphite | | Al-4/CC full batteries show a long lifespan of 800 cycles with 54 mAh g −1 capacity at a high current density of 1000 mA g −1 , benefiting from the high capacitive-controlled distribution. This study proposes a novel strategy to design 3D Al anodes for metallic-Al-based batteries by eliminating the problems of planar Al anodes and realizing the potential applications of aluminum–graphite batteries.

Aluminum (Al)-lithium (Li) alloys are ambitious candidates for application in energetic materials, however, the high reactivity of Al-Li compound and Li in alloys affects their thermal stability, which results in gradually lower active content and diminished performance, impeding their further application in energetics. In this study, the specific content of silicon (Si) was introduced into Al-Li alloy via the centrifugal atomization that allows in-situ assembly of Al , Li, and Si at the single particle level, thus resulting in more stable Al-Li-Si compounds instead of active Al-Li compounds and Li and enhancing their thermal stability. The results show that Al-Li-Si alloy powders are in a high degree of sphericity, which are composed of αAl and AlLiSi. Compared to Al-Li alloys, Al-Li-Si alloys initiate the oxidization at a higher temperature (∼600 ℃) since the existence of more stable Al-Li-Si compounds than Li in Al-Li alloys, which indicates a higher thermal stability. Al-Li-Si alloys also show high heat release and combustion efficiency similar to Al-Li alloys. In the meanwhile, Al-Li-Si alloy-based composites maintain almost the same combustion properties compared to Al-Li/PTFE energetics, along with prolonged combustion duration. Therefore, Al-Li-Si alloy powders are promising candidates for application in energetic materials considering their higher thermal stability and tunable combustion properties.

Rapid, sensitive, specific and stable detection of mycotoxin in food remains an extremely crucial issue. Herein, a magnetic-fluorescent immunosensing platform for the detection of zearalenone (ZEN) was proposed. The platform utilized Au nanoparticles (AuNPs) heterogeneous fluorescent metal–organic framework (MIL-53(Al)@AuNPs) labeled with ZEN-bovine serum albumin (ZEN-BSA) as signal probe and ZEN mono-antibodies coupled with magnetic NPs (MNPs-mAbs) as capture probe. Specifically, the heterogenization of AuNPs on the MIL-53(Al) surface improved its biocompatibility, and facilitated the loading of ZEN-BSA conjugates. The MNPs-mAbs could rapidly capture the target ZEN, simplify the immunoassay process and further improve the detection efficiency. The established competitive magnetic-fluorescent immunosensing platform had a wider linear response to ZEN in the range of 0.001–100 ng/mL with a lower limit of detection (LOD) at 0.0035 ng/mL, and could finish the whole detection process within 20 min, showing great potential for rapid and sensitive detection of food contaminants.

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 .

Recently, biochar-related phosphate sorbents have been extensively investigated and achieved significant progress; however, there is still much room for enhancement on capturing performance and recovery of powdery ones after sorption. Herein, a new kind of adsorbent, in which biochar/Mg-Al spinel encapsulated in carboxymethyl cellulose-La hydrogels with cationic polymeric layers, was fabricated, aiming for integrating multi-advantages of each component for enhanced phosphate capture. Batch static experiments were correlated to the phosphate adsorption performance of the adsorbent. The maximum phosphate adsorption capacity of the adsorbent was 89.65 mg P/g at pH = 3. The Langmuir isotherm model and the pseudo-second-order kinetic model fitted well with the adsorption behavior of the adsorbent. More importantly, this composite adsorbent that integrated with biochar, Mg-Al spinel, cationic polymeric components exhibited favorable selectivity over coexisting anions (Cl - , SO 4 2- , HCO 3 – and NO 3 – ) and performed good reusability after five consecutive cycles. By virtue of the bead-like feature, fixed-bed column experiments demonstrated that the Thomas model fitted the breakthrough curves well under varied experimental conditions. The adsorption mechanism of phosphate on the designed composite adsorbent with multi-components could be described as the electrostatic attraction, ligand exchange and inner-sphere complexation, which might account for the efficient phosphate capturing performance.

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.

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.
