Three samples, LiNi 0.5 Mn 1.5 O 4 , LiNi 0.4 Mn 1.4 Co 0.2 O 4 , and LiNi 0.4 Mn 1.4 Cr 0.15 Co 0.05 O 4 , were prepared by sol–gel method and characterized by powder X-ray diffraction, Fourier transformed infrared spectroscope, scanning electron microscopy, Brunauer–Emmett–Teller surface area, four-probe resistance, cyclic voltammetry, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and charge–discharge test. It is found that the co-doped sample LiNi 0.4 Mn 1.4 Cr 0.15 Co 0.05 O 4 exhibits an improved performance compared with the Co-doped sample LiNi 0.4 Mn 1.4 Co 0.2 O 4 and the undoped sample LiNi 0.5 Mn 1.5 O 4 , especially at elevated temperature. At 25 °C, the discharge capacity of LiNi 0.4 Mn 1.4 Cr 0.15 Co 0.05 O 4 is 130 mAh g −1 at 0.1 C and 103 mAh g −1 at 10 C. At an elevated temperature (55 °C), its 1 C discharge capacity is 136 mAh g −1 and maintains 95.6 % of its initial capacity after 100 cycles. Compared with the reported results of LiNi 0.4 Mn 1.4 Co 0.2 O 4 and LiNi 0.475 Mn 1.475 Co 0.05 O 4 , the co-doped sample LiNi 0.4 Mn 1.4 Cr 0.15 Co 0.05 O 4 , with least content of Co, 0.05, possesses not only the high C-rate capacity but also the structural stability. The mechanism on the electrochemical performance improvement of LiNi 0.5 Mn 1.5 O 4 by the co-doping was discussed.

Enlarging the dispersed micropores of metal-organic frameworks to the well-ordered mesostructure can enhance the accessibility of acidic sites for reactants resulting in the improvement of selectivity. With the regulation of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide/Cr3+ and ClSO3H sulfonation, a series of mesoporous MIL-101(Cr)-SO3H (MMSs) with multiple pore sizes and acidic properties were synthesized and explored to further facilitate the furfuryl alcohol (FA) ethanolization to ethyl levulinate (EL) for the first time. The optimal catalytic activity of 83.8% EL yield at full FA conversion demonstrated that the appropriate mesopore size, acidic density, and accessible −SO3H sites contributed to the superior performance of the MMS(0.3)-0.15. The turnover frequency value (14.8 h–1) obtained with MMS(0.3)-0.15 was comparable to the commercial Nafion NR50 (18.3 h–1) and much higher than the classical Amberlyst-15 (1.9 h–1), confirming the predominant catalytic performance. Furthermore, two coexistent reaction paths with 2-ethoxymethylfuran and 4,5,5-triethoxy-pentan-2-one as intermediates indicated the possibility of producing EL from FA.

Defective metal organic frameworks have emerged as promising catalysts for CO2 conversion owing to their tunable active sites and exceptional catalytic activities. Despite their potential, achieving high defect densities through simple and scalable methods remains a major challenge. To address this, we developed an innovative low-temperature calcination strategy (300 °C, 10 min) to introduce abundant ligand defects into MIL-101(Cr) while maintaining crystallinity, thereby exposing additional Cr3+ Lewis acid sites to participate in epoxide activation. The resulting defective MIL-101 demonstrates remarkable catalytic efficiency in CO2 cycloaddition, achieving a >99% yield under mild conditions (80 °C, 0.1 MPa) within 6 h, significantly surpassing that of pristine MIL-101 (52%). Furthermore, the catalyst exhibited outstanding recyclability, retaining full activity over multiple reaction cycles. In addition to synthetic simplicity, this work provides fundamental insights into the critical role of defects in promoting epoxide activation and ring opening, establishing a sustainable pathway for CO2 utilization under mild conditions and the energy-efficient production of cyclic carbonates.

A one-step synthesis of visible light responsive diatomite/g-C3N4 composite material was prepared by impregnation-calcination method. The products were characterized by Scanning electron microscope, X-ray diffractometer, Ultraviolet diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectrometer, and Photoluminescence spectrometer. The SEM results showed that g-C3N4 was successfully attached onto the surface of the diatomite. Also the composite materials were more light-responsive compared with the single phase material. The composite materials had a maximum degradation efficiency up to nearly 91.79%. The significant improvement in photocatalytic performance was due to the porous structure of diatomite, increase of contact area of carbon nitride.

Rutile TiO2pigments codoped with chromophore ion Cr3+and various charge-balancing ions (i.e., counterions species of Sb, Nb, W and Mo) were prepared by a solid-phase reaction method. The effects of the counterions and calcination temperatures on the phase structure, color-rendering and spectroscopic properties, microstructure, and stability of the synthesized pigments were investigated in detail. The results showed that the introduction of 5–10% counterions improved the solubility of Cr3+in the TiO2lattice to form the single-phase rutile pigments calcined at 1100 °C for 2 h. The 10% Cr-doped pigment showed a dark brown color. Depending on the content and type of counterions, the color of the codoped pigments was tailored from yellow to reddish or yellowish-orange to black with different brightness and hue. The influence mechanism of counterions was ascribed to the lattice distortion and variation in the charge balance condition. It was found that the addition of Sb, Nb, or Mo resulted in a remarkable improvement in the NIR reflectance of pigments. The grain growth was inhibited with the codoping of Cr/Sb and Cr/Nb to achieve the nano-sized pigments. In addition, the prepared pigments exhibited good acid and alkali corrosion resistance as well as excellent stability and coloring performance in transparent ceramic glazes.

Hexavalent Chromium (Cr(VI)) in water is a public health concern and has been a challenging research subject in environmental field for many years. Herein, a novel composite material consisting of amorphous iron sulfides supported on hydrotalcites (FeS/HTs) was synthesized by “calcination-reconstruction-calcination” process, which enables homogeneous distribution of iron and sulfur on the surface of hydrotalcites (HT). The composite (mass ratio of FeS/HT was 1/2) could effectively remove over 98% of Cr(VI) within 10 min. A pseudo-second-order kinetic model and a Langmuir isotherm model were well fitted the sorption data with a maximum removal capacity of 206.2 mg/g. The superior adsorption capacity of FeS/HTs could be attributed to the combination of the advantages of abundant adsorption sites on HT and powerful reduction properties of iron sulfides. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis suggested the adsorbed Cr(VI) on the surface and interlayer of FeS/HTs had been reduced to Cr(III) by reductant iron and sulfur. This study demonstrated that FeS/HTs has potential application prospects in Cr(VI) removal.

Herein, we report on a novel two-dimensional (2D) material application, which shows that an accordion-like layered Ti 3 C 2 nanomaterial (MXene) with an excellent adsorption capacity of Cr(VI) from aqueous solution was prepared by etching Al layer from Ti 3 AlC 2 phase in hydrofluoric acid (HF) solution. Ti 3 C 2 nanopowders were well characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and the physical property of as-obtained samples was studied by UV–Vis diffuse reflectance spectra (DRS). After HF treatment, Ti 3 AlC 2 not only has a phase transition from one crystal to another, but surprisingly, its microstructure is also undergoing an obvious change. Ti 3 C 2 with product of change possesses an accordion-like multilayer structure, and a relatively higher specific surface area (SSA) than untreated Ti 3 AlC 2 . Then, accordion-like Ti 3 C 2 with a high SSA provides abundant active sites for pollutant removal and functionalization. Accordion-like Ti 3 C 2 nanomaterial exhibits a stable adsorption capacity, and 1 g as-prepared accordion-like Ti 3 C 2 powders can remove about 80 mg potassium dichromate. Therefore, the results suggest that 2D MXenes are promising as an effective nanoadsorbent in heavy metal removal from the wastewater.

Here, a novel magnetic nitrogen-rich biochar (MNRB), synthesized by attaching Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 -NH 2 particles with core-shell structure on crab shell derived/nitrogen-rich biochar (NRB), was used as absorbent and reductant to remove hexavalent chromium in aqueous systems. Characteristics of the material demonstrated that the MNRB was rich in nitrogen-containing functional groups and that the Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 -NH 2 magnetic particles with a diameter of approximately 150 nm were successfully added on the MNRB surface by strong ether linking (C-O-C). The maximum removal capacity of MNRB was 152.9 mg·g −1 , which was considerably higher than most reported magnetic biochar. Study of the removal mechanisms revealed that the Cr(VI) removal by MNRB involved three steps: (1) adsorption of Cr(VI) anions by protonated functional groups; (2) reduction of Cr(VI) anions to Cr(III) cations by electron-donor groups; and (3) chelation of Cr(III) cations by amine groups. The easy regeneration, satisfactory reusability, and remarkable performance in batch tests reflected the high potential of MNRB for treating Cr(VI)-contaminated water.

To combat the increasingly serious water pollution caused by heavy metal ions , the development of efficient adsorbents is of great significance. In this study, a novel composite adsorbent for Cr(VI) removal was smartly designed using environmentally friendly materials such as tannic acid (TA) and polyethyleneimine (PEI) for surface modification of g-C 3 N 4 nanosheets through covalent assembly of polyphenols and amines. The obtained (PEI-TA)-g-C 3 N 4 composite was capable of efficiently and quickly adsorbing Cr(VI) in water, with a maximum adsorption capacity of 769.23 mg/g at 308 K (35 °C), which was much higher than most reported Cr(VI) adsorbents. Notably, (PEI-TA)-g-C 3 N 4 could reduce highly toxic Cr(VI) to low toxic Cr(III) and effectively adsorb it. The Cr(VI) adsorption process was a spontaneous thermal adsorption process that conformed to the pseudo-second-order kinetic model and Langmuir isotherm model. In addition, the excellent photothermal performance of (PEI-TA)-g-C 3 N 4 further accelerated the adsorption of Cr(VI). Moreover, the strong anti-interference ability of (PEI-TA)-g-C 3 N 4 composite against anions and other metal ions enabled it to effectively remove Cr(VI) in complex environments, expanding its practical application scenarios. The polymer coatings rich in phenolic hydroxyl- and amine-rich formed on the large surface area of g-C 3 N 4 and the protonation of the amino groups are the keys for (PEI-TA)-g-C 3 N 4 composite to have ultra-high adsorption performance and strong anti-interference ability towards Cr(VI). The designed strategy of this metal-free and environmentally friendly composite with ultra-high removal of Cr(VI) capability from wastewater provides new ideas for developing green, inexpensive, and efficient adsorbents.

Anionic dyes contaminate water and severely disrupt aquatic ecosystems, urgently demanding effective treatment solutions for safety. This study explores the synthesis of unsaturated MIL-101(Cr) and its exceptional performance in removing anionic dyes from polluted water systems. The synthesized MIL-101(Cr) exhibits medium Lewis’s acid and strong Brønsted acid sites, a high specific surface area (>3000 m 2 /g), and a Zeta potential of 30 mV, contributing to its strong adsorption capability. Adsorption studies reveal Langmuir isotherm model fitting, with maximum adsorption capacities of 4231, 1266, and 568 mg/g for Acid Blue 92, Congo Red, and Acid Blue 90, respectively. The chemisorption process follows pseudo-second-order kinetics and is spontaneous and exothermic. MIL-101(Cr) demonstrates chemical and water stability, maintaining over 80% removal efficiency after five recycling cycles. This research provides valuable insights into treating anionic dye-contaminated wastewater using MIL-101(Cr) as an efficient adsorbent.

The ZrCo alloy, considered an ideal candidate material for hydrogen (or its isotope) storage to replace uranium in the ITER, faces challenges due to its susceptibility to hydrogen-induced disproportionation, which leads to a diminished cycling life. To address this, we investigated the substitution of V and Cr for Zr and Co. Our study reveals that this substitution not only refines the grain size and expands the lattice constant but also significantly enhances the kinetics of hydrogen absorption. Notably, the Zr 0.95 V 0.05 Co 0.85 Cr 0.15 alloy demonstrates a remarkable 98.8 % reduction in the time required to absorb 90 % of its full capacity compared to ZrCo. This alloy also exhibits superior isotope effects under H 2 and D 2 environments, along with lower enthalpy and entropy for dehydrogenation, contributing to a reduced dehydrogenation temperature and enhanced resistance to disproportionation. After 50 cycles of hydrogen absorption and desorption, the hydrogen storage capacity of Zr 0.95 V 0.05 Co 0.85 Cr 0.15 alloys decreases by only 5.7 %, significantly outperforming other reference samples and demonstrating its exceptional anti-disproportionation capability. These results indicate that the Zr 0.95 V 0.05 Co 0.85 Cr 0.15 alloy exhibits the best resistance to hydrogen-induced disproportionation. Moreover, post-50 cycling analysis confirms that the phase of the alloy is still dominated by the ZrCo phase, indicating its excellent structural stability. Our findings offer valuable insights into optimizing ZrCo-based alloys for enhanced hydrogen storage performance and cycling stability, providing potential references for advancements in hydrogen isotope storage materials design.

This study developed a novel adsorbent for Cr (VI) removal from wastewater by grafting N-[(dimethylamino)methylene]thiourea (TUFA) onto lignin. The resulting TUFA-functionalized lignin adsorbent AL was comprehensively characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Batch adsorption experiments systematically evaluated the influence of solution pH, contact time, temperature, initial Cr (VI) concentration, and adsorbent dosage. AL exhibited high adsorption capacity (593.9 mg g−1at 40 °C), attributed to its abundant nitrogen and sulfur-containing functional groups. Kinetic analysis revealed that the adsorption process followed pseudo-second-order kinetics. Equilibrium isotherm data were best described by the Langmuir model, indicating predominant monolayer chemisorption. Thermodynamic parameters demonstrated that Cr (VI) adsorption onto AL is spontaneous, endothermic, and entropy-driven. The adsorption mechanism involves membrane diffusion and intra-particle diffusion processes. This work successfully synthesized a stable, effective, and low-cost adsorbent (AL) using an amine agent incorporating both nitrogen and sulfur functional groups, offering a promising approach for treating Cr (VI)-contaminated wastewater.
