Both AlCl 3 and pyrrole are simultaneously added to the non-aqueous 1 M LiPF 6 /EC + DMC electrolyte and their combinatorial effects on the electrochemical performance of Li electrode are systematically studied. A composite protective film of Li–Al alloy and lithium pyrrolide is demonstrated on the Li surface. XRD, EDS, XPS and FTIR are applied to characterize the film. AC impedance, cathodic polarization and galvanostatic charge/discharge cycling tests are performed to evaluate the electrochemical behaviors of the film. It is indicated that the composite protective film formed on Li metal surface in 0.1 M AlCl 3 and 0.1 M pyrrole containing electrolyte is dense and tight with high stability in the electrolyte, and gives rise to a low interface resistance and a greatly improved cycling efficiency of the lithium metal electrode.

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

Electrolytic recovery of pure aluminum is a conventional method for the recycling of waste aluminum alloys, which is very important to economic development and environmental protection. However, the conventional electrolytic recovery process suffers from several inherent problems, which restricts the further development of this technology. In this study, an air- and moisture-stable 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide ionic liquid was applied in the dissolution of aluminum chloride. The upper phase of the resulting mixture was used as a low-temperature electrolyte in the electrolytic recovery of pure aluminum. The results of cyclic voltammetry and linear sweep voltammetry showed that aluminum could be electrodeposited from the electrolyte and that the main impurity elements of the aluminum alloy could also be stripped off by the electrolytic method. Based on these measurements, the electrolytic recovery process was conducted at 0.2−0.6 V and 303.2−373.2 K. Scanning electron microscope micrographs showed that smooth, compact and well-adherent deposits were obtained at 0.4 V from 303.2 to 323.2 K. In this situation, the preferred crystallographic orientation of these deposits was the (200) plane. Meanwhile, the mass content of aluminum in all deposits was higher than 99.6% according to the purity characterization. This study may be useful for the further application of ionic liquids in the low-temperature recycling of waste aluminum alloys.

The soft ionic nature, tunable lattice structure, variable component, and solution processability make metal halide perovskite (MHP) materials good candidates as high-entropy materials. Although composition regulation of the X site can be easily achieved by mixing two types of halogens, it remains challenging to prepare high-entropy MHP (HEMHP) with three types of halogens due to the large octahedral factor (μ) difference of [PbX6]4–. Fundamental research is explored to synthesize HEMHP incorporating Cl–, Br–, and I– via μ regulation engineering, which breaks the limitation of a 6% Cl/I ratio in perovskite to achieve 116%. Doping AlCl3 in CsPbBrI2 could successfully reduce the μ differences for [Pb1–aAlaX6](4–a)–, shorten the Pb–X bond length, and enhance the Pb–X bond energy via the Al–X covalent bond. Therefore, the crystal distortion and halogen ion migration could be inhibited to form a homogeneous HEMHP, such as Cs1.18Pb0.92Al0.08(Cl0.13Br0.51I0.36)2.45L–0.81, Cs1.12Pb0.88Al0.12(Cl0.25Br0.49I0.26)2.53L–0.71, and Cs1.06Pb0.85Al0.15(Cl0.29Br0.46I0.25)2.43L–0.78. Such μ regulation engineering method is feasible and universal to use other metal ions (Zn2+, Mn2+, and In3+) to synthesize single-phase HEMHP. Furthermore, the optical band gap and emission peak wavelength for HEMHP and MHP are linearly dependent on their lattice distances, which is the intrinsic characteristic for composition-depended perovskite.

The effects of nicotinic acid (NA) on the electrodeposition of Al-Mn alloy have been investigated in aluminum chloride-1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium ionic liquids (AlCl 3 -BMIC) containing 0.15 mol·L −1 MnCl 2 (AlCl 3 -BMIC-MnCl 2 ). The electrochemical behaviors of the AlCl 3 -BMIC-MnCl 2 electrolyte have been studied here using cyclic voltammetry and potentiodynamic polarization. The addition of NA obviously increased the nucleation overpotential of Al-Mn alloy and inhibited the reduction reaction of Al(III) and Mn(II). The resultant surface morphologies, composition, and roughness of the Al-Mn alloy coating were revealed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM), and atomic force microscopy (AFM). It was found that these additives strongly affect the morphology, composition, roughness, and crystal structure of the Al-Mn alloy coating. With the addition of NA, the content of Mn decreased, and Al-Mn alloy coatings became more uniform and smoother. The crystal structure of Al-Mn coatings was also examined by X-ray diffraction (XRD), where it was found that the phase composition of the deposits depends on the quantities of additives. For electrolyte containing little or no NA additives, the resulting alloy is amorphous structure. With NA additives up to 6·mmol L −1 , the Al-Mn coating changed into a mixture phase of amorphous and crystalline structure.

Aluminum (Al) inhibits osteoblast-mediated bone formation by oxidative stress, resulting in Al-induced bone disease. Melatonin (MT) has received extensive attention due to its antioxidant and maintenance of bone health effect. To evaluate the protective effect and mechanism of MT on AlCl 3 -induced osteoblast dysfunction, MC3T3-E1 cells were treated with MT (100 μM) and/or AlCl 3 (8 μM). First, MT alleviated AlCl 3 -induced osteoblast dysfunction, presenting as the reduced apoptosis rate as well as increased cell viability, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, and type I collagen (COL-1) level. Then, MT significantly attenuated AlCl 3 -induced oxidative stress, presenting as the reduced reactive oxygen species and 8-hydroxy-2′-deoxyguanosine levels as well as increased glutathione level and superoxide dismutase activity. Finally, MT protected MC3T3-E1 cells against p53-dependent apoptosis and differentiation suppression, as assessed by Caspase-3 activity, protein levels of p53, Bcl-2-associated X protein (Bax), B cell lymphoma gene 2 (Bcl-2), cytosolic Cytochrome c, Runt-related transcription factor 2 (Runx2), and Osterix, as well as the mRNA levels of Bax, Bcl-2, Runx2, Osterix, ALP, and COL-1. Overall, our findings demonstrate MT attenuates AlCl 3 -induced apoptosis and osteoblastic differentiation suppression by inhibiting oxidative stress in MC3T3-E1 cells.

Rechargeable aluminum-ion batteries (AIBs) offer a compelling alternative to lithium-ion systems due to aluminum's abundance, high theoretical capacity, and cost advantages. However, conventional AlCl 3 -based electrolytes suffer from leakage, corrosiveness, and extreme moisture sensitivity, which degrade Coulombic efficiency and cycling stability. This study addresses these issues by developing a polyamide-based gel polymer electrolyte (PAGPE) incorporating a low-cost AlCl 3 /guanidine hydrochloride (Guan) ionic liquid analogue electrolyte. The PAGPE, formed by blending polyamide (PA6) with the AlCl 3 /Guan electrolyte, enhances thermal stability, moisture resistance, and electrochemical performance. In Al-graphite cells, the gel electrolyte achieves high rate capability, long-term cycling stability, and nearly 99 % Coulombic efficiency. The PAGPE also significantly mitigates corrosion and moisture-induced degradation compared to its liquid counterpart. Furthermore, when applied to aluminum-sulfur (Al-S) batteries, the gel electrolyte effectively suppresses the polysulfide shuttle effect. Oxidation-type Al-S cells deliver ∼600 mAh g −1 , while reduction-type cells reach ∼1000 mAh g −1 , both with high efficiency and improved cycling behavior. These results demonstrate the feasibility of Guan-based PAGPEs as robust, scalable electrolytes for next-generation aluminum-based energy storage systems.

Aluminum coating was expected to be used for corrosion protection of 300M steel. Al coating was prepared using the galvanostatic electrodeposition from AlCl 3 /acetamide (1.3:1) system for the corrosion protection of 300M steel. This process was conducted at varying current density (2–8 mA·cm −2 ) and electrodeposition time (1 and 2 h). The chronopotentiometry revealed that the size of Al nucleus was proportional to the inverse of overpotential. Thus, the morphology of Al coating was characterized by scanning electron microscope and optical surface profiler. The results indicated a decrease in Al grain sizes and the roughness fluctuation with increasing current density. Moreover, the corrosion resistance of Al coatings was evaluated in a 3.5 wt% NaCl solution using the potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy test. It was illustrated that corrosion current density decreased by 57.8 % at 6 mA·cm −2 with the electrodeposition time increasing from 1 to 2 h, while the value decreased by 75.9 % with the current density raising from 5 to 6 mA·cm −2 for 2 h. Al coating electrodeposited at 6 mA cm −2 for 2 h represented the highest corrosion resistance with the charge transfer resistance of 5695 Ω·cm 2 , while the value of 300M steel was 914 Ω·cm 2 . Finally, X-ray diffraction pattern suggested that corroded coatings compositions included Al 2 O 3 , AlO(OH) and AlCl 3 ·6H 2 O. The study was considered to provide a promising method using AlCl 3 /acetamide to electrodeposit Al coatings for protecting 300M steel from corrosion.

The application of AlCl3-amide deep eutectic solvent (DES) prompted research into its physicochemical properties and ionic structures. In the present study, first, the viscosity, density, conductivity, and electrochemical behavior of AlCl3–N-methylformamide (AlCl3–NMF) DES were determined at 303–363 K. Then, types of complex ions and the bonding form in AlCl3–NMF were elucidated by Raman spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and quantum chemical calculations. Finally, four chemical reactions between Al species and their thermodynamic data were clarified at 303–373 K. The results indicated that AlCl3–NMF exhibited satisfactory physical properties. Thus, AlCl3–NMF DES could be applied in various fields. The electrochemical study showed the reduction or oxidation behavior of Al (III) or Al. The complex species existing in AlCl3–NMF were identified as AlCl4–, Al2Cl7–, AlCl3L, and Al2Cl6L (“L” stood for NMF). Especially, Al species coordinated with NMF through carboxyl oxygen to generate AlCl2L2+, with an energy of −6.16 eV. Furthermore, [AlCl2NMF2]+[Al2Cl7]− exhibited weaker hydrogen bonding compared with [AlCl2NMF2]+[AlCl4]− in the system. Finally, thermodynamic calculations showed that the formation of the above Al species in AlCl3–NMF was exothermic within the temperature range of 303–373 K.

The preparation of suitable SiC fiber (SiC f )/Al precursors is crucial for the fabrication of SiC f -strengthened Al alloys . In this work, a SiC f /Al precursor was prepared by pulse current deposition in a molten LiCl–KCl–AlCl 3 melt. The electrochemical deposition of Al 3+ was separately investigated on the Mo wire, Cu wire, SiC f , and Cu-coated SiC f electrodes. The intermediate Cu layer can eliminate the Li generated by the underpotential deposition on the carbon layer outside SiC f . In addition, open circuit chronopotentiometry was performed to confirm the reduction processes of Al 3+ on the Cu wire and Cu-coated SiC f , and the results indicate that Al 3+ exhibits similar reduction processes on the two electrodes. The deposited Al layer possibly formed Al–Cu alloys with the intermediate Cu layer on SiC f , which was beneficial to the connection between the Al layer and SiC f substrate. Scanning electron microscopy was employed to investigate the morphology and microstructure of the prepared SiC f /Al fiber. After the pulse current was optimized, a compact and even layer of Al was deposited on SiC f .

An aluminum-ion asymmetric supercapacitor was assembled utilizing a cathode made of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) in an ionic liquid 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride ([EMIm]Cl)-based electrolyte. Two types of energy-storage mechanisms, that is, electrochemical double-layer capacitance (adsorption/desorption of AlCl 4 − on the surface) and limited intercalation pseudocapacitance (intercalation/deintercalation of AlCl 4 − in the graphite layer) at low current density, were observed and characterized. Meanwhile, the specific capacitance and cyclic stability of this supercapacitor were also evaluated by using galvanostatically charging–discharging. The result demonstrates that the specific capacitance decreases with increasing current density, which corresponds to the two types of energy-storage mechanisms of this device. The corresponding retention rate of this device after 3500 cycles at current density of 0.4 A g −1 was 82.4 %, which shows good cyclic stability.
