In spite of the advantages of CaO refractories, such as high refractoriness, potential to produce pure steel molten, and high alkaline corrosion resistance, their application has been limited due to its poor hydration resistance. Introducing additives to improve the hydration resistance of lime is a novel method. The influences of Mg(OH) 2 and sintering temperatures on the sintering and hydration resistance of CaO aggregates that were produced by thermal decomposition were investigated in this paper. The purpose of this work was to produce high-purity CaO raw material with high density, low porosity, well grain growth, and good hydration resistance economically. The sintered samples were characterized by bulk density, apparent porosity, surface appearance, and microstructure. The results indicated that (1) Mg(OH) 2 promoted the grain growth of CaO, reduced the apparent porosity, and improved the density of the specimens. The hydration resistance of the samples was increased. (2) Increasing the sintering temperature improved the hydration resistance of the specimens obviously in the experiment. (3) Grain size of CaO was more uniform with the increment of Mg(OH) 2 content, and the density of the compacts was improved.

To address the growing demand for efficient and stable energy storage in the context of green energy, in this study, an acid etching method was employed to in-situ grow Ni(OH) 2 nanosheet arrays on a nickel foam (NF) substrate. Subsequently, negatively charged Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene nanosheets were electrophoretically deposited onto the Ni(OH) 2 /NF surface to result in a MXene/Ni(OH) 2 /NF composite electrode material. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) observations revealed the homogeneous dispersion distribution of nanosheets on the material surface. The composite material exhibited high electrical conductivity and good hydrophilicity by rapid water infiltration within 150 ms. Furthermore, the Motte-Schottky effect establishes a distinctive pathway for electron transfer , which leads to the creation of electron vacancies or ‘holes’ on the MXene surface. This phenomenon significantly boosts MXene's electrochemical activity and enhances its affinity for OH − ions in the electrolyte, which consequently improves the performance of electrochemical capacitors . Electrochemical tests verified that the prepared MXene/Ni(OH) 2 /NF electrode displayed an areal specific capacitance of 0.223 mAh cm −2 at a current density of 1 mA cm −2 . The electrode displayed excellent rate performance with a capacity retention rate of 71 % when the current density was increased by five times. In addition, the assembled asymmetric capacitor with MXene/Ni(OH) 2 /NF electrode demonstrated an excellent cycling stability with only a 16.38 % capacity loss after 5000 cycles. It also exhibited the remarkable specific capacitance and long-term stability by achieving a high energy density of 43.68 Wh kg −1 and a power density of 424.96 W kg −1 . These results highlight the electrode's exceptional performance in terms of energy storage and power delivery.

A facile strategy for the preparation of composites with homogeneous distribution of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) in Ni(OH) 2 was proposed. The electrostatic attraction between positively charged Ni(OH) 2 monolayer nanosheets and negatively charged MWCNTs was utilised to self-assemble the composites. The results of electrochemical measurement on the composite containing 30 wt% MWCNTs indicated that the homogeneous composition of MWCNTs in composite significantly reduced the electrical resistance and promoted the electrochemical utilisation of Ni(OH) 2 . As a result, the composite presented high electrochemical performance: having specific capacitance of 1568.8 F g −1 at low current density of 2.4 A g −1 and keeping a relatively high specific capacitance of 781.8 F g −1 at high current density of 81.7 A g −1 . Based on the results in this works, it is hoped that the adopted strategy could provide a promising idea for the preparation of composites with homogeneous distribution of individual components.

The reduce of the silicon concentration to low level (<5 mg·L −1 ) from the reverse osmosis brine wastewater is challenging and desirable for the maintain the membrane life and performance, as well as the wastewater treatment costs. This work focuses on the removal of silicon from the reverse osmosis brine wastewater by adding FeCl 3 into the plant wastewater for simultaneous Fe(OH) 3 formation and silicon adsorption. The effects of pH, FeCl 3 dosing concentration, reaction time, and temperature on the silicon removal ratio were investigated. It was demonstrated that the silicon removal ratio could reach up to 94% and its residual concentration was 3.2 mg·L −1 , which met the require of water quality in the reverse osmosis system. These results showed that Fe(OH) 3 could effectively be formed by adding FeCl 3 and realize the efficient silicon removal from the reverse osmosis brine wastewater, even when chloride ion (Cl - ), sulfate anion ( S O 4 2 - ) and nitrate ion ( N O 3 - ) were present. Moreover, the adsorption thermodynamics, kinetics and isotherms during the process of the adsorption of silicon from the wastewater by Fe(OH) 3 were studied. The calculated adsorption capacity of silicon could reach 612.74 mg·g −1 , which was much larger than those of reported adsorbents. These results showed that the silicon removal process was spontaneously exothermic and mainly controlled by the physical adsorption and the monomolecular layer adsorption. This simple and cost-effective method could be used for the silicon removal from different kinds of Si-containing wastewater.

When tested in a three-electrode configuration, the WS 2 /Ni(OH) 2 nanofiber-based electrode exhibits a high specific capacity of 354 C g −1 at a current density of 1 A g −1 . The hybrid storage device, in which WS 2 /Ni(OH) 2 nanofibers and graphene are used as the positive and negative electrodes, respectively, exhibits a high energy density of 34 Wh kg −1 at a power density of 940 W kg −1 and a high capacity retention of 83% after 4000 cycles at 4 A g −1 . The as-synthesized 3D Ni(OH) 2 /WS 2 nanofibers provide a way for the WS 2 nanostructure to optimize its viability and potential in constructing a high-performance energy storage device.

Hydrogen production from water electrolysis offers a highly promising and sustainable route to solve the energy crisis. However, it is severely limited by the sluggish kinetics of the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) occurring on the anode. Herein, employing carbon dots functionalized with benzene sulfonate groups (BS-CDs) as a distinctive inductor, a Co(OH)2catalyst featuring abundant defects was synthesized for an enhanced OER. The highly hydrophilic nature of BS-CDs exerts a significant interfacial induction effect on the growth dynamics of Co(OH)2, fostering the formation of elevated crystal defects and a substantial quantity of oxygen vacancies. The resulting BS-CDs/Co(OH)2catalyst requires an overpotential of only 340 mV to achieve a current density of 10 mA cm−2in alkaline media, demonstrating markedly improved OER activity compared to pristine Co(OH)2and N-CDs/Co(OH)2induced by amine-modified CDs. Furthermore, the structural integrity of the catalyst is maintained, with a current retention rate of 92% observed following a 20 h stability assessment. This work provides a novel approach for developing cost-effective transition metal catalysts that exhibit exceptional catalytic efficiency and excellent stability for the OER.

Treatment of wastewater containing low-concentration yet highly-expensive rare earth elements (REEs) is one of the vital issues in the REEs separation and refining industry. In this work, the interaction and related mechanism between self-supported flowerlike nano-Mg(OH)2 and low-concentration REEs wastewater were investigated. More than 99% REEs were successfully taken up by nano-Mg(OH)2. Further analysis revealed that the REEs could be collected on the surface of Mg(OH)2 as metal hydroxide nanoparticles (<5 nm). An ion-exchange model was proposed as a critical factor for both guaranteeing the reaction speed and maintaining the self-supported structure of the materials. In addition, a method was developed to further separate the immobilized REEs and the residual magnesium hydroxide by varying the solution pH. In a pilot-scale experiment, the REEs from practical wastewater were immobilized effectively at a high flow rate. We anticipate this work can provide a good example for the recycling of valuable REEs in practical industrial applications.

Nanohybrids fabricated with upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) and gold nanoparticles (NPs) hold great promise for near-infrared photothermal therapy (NIR-PTT) and upconversion fluorescence imaging. However, the obstacles of poor solubility in water and finite hydrophilic modification method for UCNPs limit their application in biological fields. Herein, we report a novel UCNP@Al(OH)3/Au nanohybrid mediated by a highly hydrophilic and biocompatible Al(OH)3 layer to realize a synergistic targeted PTT and fluorescence imaging capability to U87MG tumor-bearing mice under NIR light irradiation. The modification with Al(OH)3 layers can improve the water solubility of UCNPs. And cytotoxicity assays and hemolysis assay showed that the modification with Al(OH)3 layers makes UCNPs have low cytotoxicity and good biocompatibility. In addition, the Al(OH)3 layers are thin enough to allow fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) between UCNPs and gold NPs to occur, giving the NPs a good PTT effect for tumor-bearing mice. Meanwhile, as the pH-sensitive Al(OH)3 layers decompose in acidic tumor microenvironments with Au NPs detached from their surface, the FRET effect no longer occurred, subsequently leading to the fluorescence intensity of naked UCNPs being recovered for good imaging effects. The study suggests that Al(OH)3 mediation layer as a promising hydrophilic nanoplatform can potentially be used for the preparation of superior hydrophilic NPs and pH-stimulated drug release carriers for theranostic application in vivo.

In order to lower the energy barrier and improve the energy efficiency for hydrogen production by splitting water, highly efficient OER catalysts are required. Here, we report the electrodeposition of Ni(OH) 2 /NiOOH in the presence of urea showing the improved electrocatalysis for the hydrogen production in KOH electrolyte. By potential scanning, the Ni(OH) 2 colloid in alkali solution was transformed into the deposited Ni(OH) 2 /NiOOH. The presence of urea facilitates to deposit Ni(OH) 2 /NiOOH with higher electron transfer than the absence of urea, leading to a higher electrocatalytic OER. As supporting electrolyte , KOH exhibits better performance on the electrodeposition of Ni(OH) 2 /NiOOH and their OER electrocatalysis than NaOH. The work shows the potential application using cheap, non-precious metal-based electrocatalysts to overcome the well-known bottlenecks limiting power density of hydrogen fuel cell and energy efficiency of splitting water.

Ammonia (NH3) is a common air pollutant and is a biomarker for kidney disease. Therefore, the preparation of ammonia gas sensors with high sensitivity, good selectivity and low operating temperature is of great importance for health protection. Using the in situ electrostatic self-assembly approach, a chemoresistive gas sensor based on Co(OH)2/Ti3C2Tx hybrid material was created in this study. The prepared samples were characterized by XRD, XPS, TEM, BET and other testing methods for structure, surface topography and elements. These samples were fabricated into sensors, and the gas sensing properties of the materials were investigated under different test conditions. The results show that the gas response value of the C/M-2 sensor is up to about 14.7%/100 ppm, which is three times the response value of the sensor made of pure MXene to NH3. In addition, the Co(OH)2/Ti3C2Tx hybrid sensors exhibit excellent repeatability, high sensitivity under low concentration (less than 5 ppm), fast response/recovery time (29 s/49 s) and long-time stability, which indicates their promising utility in the IoT field.

Hierarchical macro-mesoporous Ni(OH)2 were prepared by hydrothermal treatment of Ni(NO3)2 with dicyandiamide. This Ni(OH)2 nanostructure can be transformed to mesoporous NiO via calcination at 300°C. The structure, morphology and textural properties of the as-synthesized Ni(OH)2 and NiO were characterized. The electrochemical property and electrochemical sensing performance toward glucose detection were investigated. Owing to the unique macro-mesoporous structure, the Ni(OH)2 nanostructure could provide amperometric sensing of glucose with wide linear range (0.01–8.3 mM), high sensitivity of 243 μA mM cm−2 and low detection limit of 1 μM. Moreover, this glucose sensor also exhibited excellent stability, good selectivity and reproducibility.

Ni(OH)2 has low production cost and high theoretical specific capacity, while on account of the poor electronic conductivity, it shows inferior electrochemical performance including cycling stability and rate capability. This work focuses on a composite material that is in situ grown Ni(OH)2 nanosheets on reduced graphene oxide (rGO), and employing the fewer-defect rGO to build a three-dimensional conductive network provides outstanding conductivity. The specific capacitances (Cm) of the Ni(OH)2/rGO (NHG) electrode are 2776 F·g–1 at 2 A·g–1 and even 1570 F·g–1 at 50 A·g–1, demonstrating remarkable rate capability. It indicates that the combination of the nano grown Ni(OH)2 and rGO conductive substrate shortens the ion diffusion path and increases the electron transfer rate; hence, the composite rate capability has been significantly improved. The composite materials and active carbon were combined to be an asymmetric supercapacitor, which had a high energy density of 39.24 Wh·kg–1 at 1962 W·kg–1. After 10,000 cycles at 5 A·g–1, the capacity retains 91.4%.
