Gallium, with an average content of about 15 μg g −1 in the Earth's crust, ranks at the forefront of strategic metals. However, the separation of gallium remains challenging due to the similar physical and chemical properties of gallium and other impurity ions. Herein, the tetradentate amidoxime-functionalized MIL-53(Al) nanofiber membranes (PAN/MIL-53-AO) are prepared to separate gallium, aluminum, vanadium ions and so on. The resultant membranes display 231.08 mg g −1 for Ga(Ⅲ) with high selectivity in static and dynamic adsorption. Specially, PAN/MIL-53-AO demonstrates excellent gallium regeneration rate of 84.25% after five cycles. According to DFT calculations, due to the tetradentate structure of MIL-53(Al)-AO, the amidoxime group binds to gallium ion with a lower binding energy (−29.46 eV). In conclusion, the experimental dates and theoretical calculations indicate that the excellent adsorption capacity is derived from the high binding ability of unique rhombic tetragonal coordination structure for gallium ion and the specific MIL-53(Al) cavity size for passage of gallium. Such performances outperform most state-of-the-art adsorption membranes. The special structure of MOF pores provides a novel approach for rapid synthesis of adsorption sites with high selectivity, with potential utilization in the selective adsorption of gallium ions.

New micro-unit composite fuels Al@AP with different mass ratios of Al and AP are designed, prepared, and added to solid propellants in place of the original aluminum powder . Through Thermogravimetric Analysis- Differential scanning calorimetry- Mass Spectrometry (TG-DSC-MS), laser ignition experiment, thermocouple temperature measurement, burning rate test, and combustion diagnostic, we study how Al@AP affects the ignition, combustion, and agglomeration properties of solid propellants. The results indicate that the increase of Al content of Al@AP can promote the advance of thermal decomposition of AP. As the AP content increases in Al@AP, the ignition delay time of Al@AP decreases by three times, and the mass burning rate increases by almost five times. At the same time, Al@AP significantly improves the burning rate and temperature gradient . When compare to the baseline propellant, Al@AP-containing propellants present a maximum increase in burning rate of 33% at low pressures and 19% at high pressures. In terms of agglomeration reduction, the number of large-size agglomerates in the CCPs of propellants containing Al@AP is reduced, the average particle size decreases by 78%, and the combustion efficiency increases to 99.34%. A mechanism is proposed to explain how the micro-unit composite fuel Al@AP alters propellant combustion and agglomeration. In summary, Al@AP provides excellent control over ignition, combustion, and agglomeration characteristics. This study provides guidance on the application and development of new aluminum-based composite fuels used in solid propellants.

The paper-based analytical platforms have been applied in biochemical detection and environmental monitoring due to their low cost and easy operation. Despite their advantages, the complexity of fabrication has limited their further application. Here, a simple and innovative approach using parylene C, a material commonly used in semiconductors, is reported to fabricate paper-based chips and construct a point-of-care testing (POCT) platform through smartphones. Parylene C is deposited on the filter paper through a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) clamp and forms a hydrophobic barrier. A three-channel paper-based chip was utilized to detect aluminum (Al) ions on a smartphone platform by the chromogenic method. The color change after Al 3+ detection is represented with △E which was photographed and calculated by app on smartphone. The detection limit is 0.05 mg/L and the detection range is from 0.05 mg/L to 10 mg/L which indicates the application potential in the field of biochemical detection. This new paper-based sensing method and smartphone-based portable detection platform are simple, low-cost, fast, and highly sensitive, and provides a potential application for on-site, visual detection of ions and even other substances.

Recently, the coordinatively unsaturated metal-O Lewis acid-base pairs of metal oxides are found to be able to activate the C–H bond of light alkane efficiently. For the inert crystal Al 2 O 3 , we found that the surface oxygen vacancy amount of Al 2 O 3 can be controlled by pretreatment of CO reduction, and the nearby coordinatively unsaturated Al-O (Al cu -O) pairs can effectively catalyze propane dehydrogenation (PDH). The C 3 H 6 formation rate of γ/δ-Al 2 O 3 is in line with the concentration of oxygen vacancies. The experiments and DFT calculations illuminate the importance of oxygen vacancy on the surface of Al 2 O 3 for PDH reaction. The consumption of lattice oxygen reduces the one coordination number of the bonding Al, the formed Al cu -O as defective acid-base pairs, can be an effective way to tune the adsorption energy of the intermediates and the barriers of key steps (the first C H activation and H 2 formation) to enhance the performance of PDH through both site-dependent concerted and stepwise mechanisms.

Reactive materials consisting of aluminum (Al) and fluorine-containing oxidizers have been extensively developed owing to high energy density and potential applications in propellants and explosives. Herein, graphite fluoride (CF) as a new fluorine-containing oxidizer was introduced to construct nano-Al based reactive materials. Systematic investigation and comparison were executed on exothermic reaction behavior and combustion performance of nano-Al/CF and nano-Al/polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) based reactive materials. The energy output and exothermic peak of nano-Al/CF were approximately 2367 J/g and 641 °C, which were 300 J/g and 85 °C higher than those of nano-Al/PTFE, respectively. The effects of nano-Al/CF mass ratio and packing density on burning rates were examined to fully understand combustion reaction and flame propagation behavior. Nano-Al/CF exhibited excellent burning rate (1670 m/s), much higher than that of nano-Al/PTFE (930 m/s). More interestingly, flame splitting phenomenon including three distinct flame regions was observed on the critical position with the highest burning rate for nano-Al/CF with the mass ratios of 25/70 and 30/75. The burning rate of nano-Al/CF increased and then decreased with the packing densities ranging from 20.87% to 53.47% TMD. The dominating combustion reaction products (AlF 3 and C) were further determined to figure out the reaction mechanism. These results demonstrated that CF as fluorine-containing oxidizer to construct reactive materials has potential applications in propellants, explosives and pyrotechnics.

NH 2 -MIL-53(Al)/CdS p-n heterojunctions are fabricated via facile two-step hydrothermal method. The formation of p-n heterojunctions could form built-in field, which favors spatial charge separation. The resultant NH 2 -MIL-53(Al)/CdS p-n heterojunctions with narrowed band gap extend the photoresponse, and have a high specific surface area of 417.7 m 2 g −1 , and a narrow pore size of 8.8 nm. Under visible light irradiation, the photocatalytic efficiency for reduction of Cr(VI) and removal of refractory pesticide trichlorophenol is up to 99.23 and 98.85 %, respectively. The photocatalytic oxygen evolution is also as high as 563.6 μmol g −1 h −1 . The excellent photocatalytic activity can be ascribed to the efficient p-n heterojunctions accelerating charge transfer and favoring spatial charge separation, and the special mesoporous structure supplying adequate surface-active sites and facilitating mass transfer. This facile strategy opens up new insights for fabricating other p-n heterojunctions photocatalysts with efficient solar energy conversion.

An ingenious strategy to prepare in-situ formed SiC(Al, rGO) bulk polymer-derived ceramics (PDCs) from re-pyrolyzing SiC(Al, rGO) p /polyaluminocarbosilane-vinyltriethoxysilane-graphene oxide (PACS-VTES-GO, PAVG) blends is highlighted. Flexible PAVG modified by Al with highly cross-linked structure effectively improves molecular weight and formability of precursors. Rigid SiC(Al, rGO) p fillers provide high mechanical properties owing to their unique microstructure which is consistent with SiC(Al, rGO) bulk PDCs. β-SiC nanocrystals are well dispersed in amorphous SiO x C y /C free , and rGO exhibits good compatibility with SiO x C y /C free . Besides, possible Al 2 O 3 is beneficial to relaxing thermal stress at β-SiC nanocrystalline boundaries. Interestingly, introduction of Al could avoid coarsening of β-SiC grains to enhance elevated temperature resistance. Furthermore, effect of re-pyrolysis temperature on the formation and microstructure of SiC(Al, rGO) bulk PDCs was also investigated. Particularly, lightweight samples re-pyrolyzed at 1300 °C display optimal fracture toughness (3.32 MPa m 1/2 ), compressive strength (177.16 MPa) and flexural strength (51.25 MPa), high ceramic yield (94.46%) and low linear shrinkage (4.38%), by far superior to those of most PDCs. As treated via precursor infiltration and pyrolysis (PIP) route and heated by butane gun flame in air, such products possess stable structures under elevated temperatures and have potential emerging uses in aerospace components.

Oleaginous biomass conversion to liquid hydrocarbon biofuels has emerged as an effective solution to the energy crisis and environmental problems. In this process, the removal of oxygenated compounds will directly affect the effectiveness of subsequent biofuel applications. Herein, deoxygenation of oleic acid by catalytic cracking was conducted using five various elements (La, Ni, P, Zr and Ce) modified Al-MCM-41. The related characterizations were carried out for these catalysts, including N 2 physisorption, XRD, XPS, pyridine-FTIR and NH 3 -TPD techniques. The results showed the mesoporous structure of Al-MCM-41 was maintained after different modifications, and these catalysts greatly improved the hydrocarbons content and physiochemical properties of biofuels. The modified catalysts tended to facilitate the decarbonylation pathway and showed high selectivity to alkane and aromatic hydrocarbons. Besides, La/Al-MCM-41 presented excellent anti-coking activity. Ni/Al-MCM-41 showed both high dehydrogenation and deoxygenation activities. The Zr modification and Ce modification had a promotion effect in the deoxidizing activity of the catalyst, owing to the formation of oxophilic metal oxides. Noteworthily, P/Al-MCM-41 displayed the best deoxidizing performance due to its high Brönsted acidity, which caused the highest hydrocarbons content (82.30 %) and the lowest fatty acids content (around 0 %) of the biofuel. Moreover, the resulting biofuel had not only low oxygen content (3.88 wt.%) and acid value (5.47 mgKOH g −1 ) but also a high calorific value (44.50 MJ kg −1 ), which could be processed into green diesel. Hence, the catalytic cracking of fatty acid over P/Al-MCM-41 has excellent potential to produce high-quality renewable fuels.

Due to native deficiency of the interfacial mismatch between Al 2 O 3 and Al-melt, as well as micron-Al 2 O 3 segregation at matrix grain boundaries (GBs), achieving both high strength and fracture toughness has been the long-lasting challenge for Al-CuO composite fabricated by conventional casting. Herein, we report a novel manufacturing of Al-CuO composite via shift-speed ball-milling (SSBM) of Al-5 wt.% CuO powders and afterwards subjected to hot-pressing (HP) as well as heat treatment. Comprehensive characterization shows that in-situ generation of the two types of Al 2 O 3 with intragranular distribution, including δ*-Al 2 O 3 particles (~200 nm) and γ-Al 2 O 3 whiskers (length of ~150 nm, thickness of ~20 nm), was governed by a diffusion-assisted nucleation-regime ascribing to the intense thermal effect of Al-CuO reaction. The size and spatial distribution of Al 2 O 3 were emphasized to address their contribution to the high mechanical performance of the composite, which exhibits a tensile strength of ~481 MPa and fracture elongation of ~16.8 %. Meanwhile, the toughening mechanism of present Al-CuO composite was rationalized on basis of the "dislocation punched zone" and "plastic zone" affected by Al 2 O 3 . Both the theoretical analysis and fracture morphology support a reinforcements-matrix interface failure mechanism and the non-uniform distribution of Al 2 O 3 consisting alternant "rich/poor zones" can markedly contribute to the high toughness. The present findings may provide a promising strategy to achieve an intragranular distribution of nano-sized reinforcements in Al-metal oxides composites, which enables increasing strength and ductility of the metal matrix.

In this work, Mg/Al layered double hydroxides embedded phosphorylated cellulose microspheres (Mg/Al LDH@PCMs) were prepared first with solid-phase phosphorylation on CMs then in situ nano-assembly between Mg 2+ , Al 3+ and phosphate groups. Hence the synthesis degree of Mg/Al LDH was enhanced. The obtained Mg/Al LDH@PCMs were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), specific surface area test (BET), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), ζ potential, X-ray electron energy (XPS). The novel in situ nano-assembly method provided improved Mg/Al LDH load without compromising the porous structure of CMs, making Mg/Al LDH@PCMs suitable for water treatment. The Mg/Al LDH@PCMs adsorbed tetracycline hydrochloride (TC) with a kinetic pattern of pseudo second-order kinetic model, while isothermally fitted with the Freundlich isotherm model. The maximum theory adsorption capacity of Mg/Al LDH@PCMs q m was 25.107 mg g −1 with the Gibbs free energy ∆G = 7.523 kJ mol −1 under 298 K. The TC removal mechanism was deeply investigated via characterization results and also the batch experimental results, it was inferred that electrostatic attraction between LDH particles and the anion species mainly dominated the adsorption process. These properties make Mg/Al LDH@PCMs have a wide application prospect in the water purification field.

In this work, we developed a novel magnetic bimetallic Al/Fe (oxyhydr)oxide adsorbent through a facile and cost-effective method and explored its potential to adsorb fluoride in water. Its synthesis involved corrosion of natural magnetite in aluminium chloride solution, followed by titration with NaOH solution for in-situ synthesis of Al/Fe (oxyhydr)oxide-coated magnetite (Mag@Al2Fe). Characterization data indicated a uniform coating of Al/Fe (oxyhydr)oxide on magnetite, and the resulting composite possessed large specific surface area (∼90 m2/g) and good magnetic property. In batch adsorption experiments, the isotherm and kinetic data fitted well to the Langmuir model and pseudo-second-order model, respectively. The maximum adsorption capacity of Mag@Al2Fe is 26.5 mg/g, which was much higher than natural magnetite (0.44 mg/g). Moreover, this material retained high adsorption capacity toward fluoride within a wide pH range (3.0–8.0) and offered facile magnetic separation from water. Influence of competing ions was also evaluated which showed that the presence of Cl− and NO3− posed negligible interference, while HCO3− and SO42− had negative effects on fluoride adsorption. Thermodynamic investigations revealed that fluoride adsorption was exothermic and spontaneous. The observed increase in solution pH and formation of Al–F and Fe–F bonds (as indicated by XPS analysis) after fluoride adsorption suggested the major adsorption mechanism of ligand exchange. Besides, the adsorption/desorption cycle studies demonstrated the well-retained performance of Mag@Al2Fe for repeated application after regeneration by 0.5 mol/L NaOH solution. Facile synthesis, high defluoridation, lower cost, and quick separation of Mag@Al2Fe indicates its promising potential for drinking water defluoridation.

To investigate the effect of the addition of poly (vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) on nanothermites, Al/MoO3/PVDF energetic nanocomposites were prepared using electrospraying method. As a control group, Al/MoO3 was also designed. Then, both samples were tested by FE-SEM, XRD and TG-DSC. TG-DSC results showed that the Al/MoO3/PVDF energetic nanocomposites released more than 934.0 J g−1 with two obvious exothermic peaks. Compared with the control group of 800.7 J g−1 heat, it changed the thermal performance to some extent. There were Mo2C among the residues products after the reaction via XRD. The activation energy (Ea) was analyzed using the Kissinger method under different heating rates by DSC. The addition of PVDF reduced the Ea of the thermites. To explore the combustion performance, a preliminary experiment was designed. The Al/MoO3/PVDF energetic nanocomposites were easier to ignite and the burning was more durable, which was significant in solid propulsion and applications requiring extended combustion time.
