The co-precipitation method allows rapid and large-scale preparation of highly active Mg–Al spinel precursors, but the crystalline growth of precursors affects the activity of the calcined powders. In the study, the stirring is introduced to inhibit the crystal growth during aging. The effects of stirring during aging on the grain growth of precursors, the phase composition and morphology of calcined powders and the optical transmittance of ceramics were comparatively investigated. It is found that the rod-like morphology obtained by static aging would be retained after calcination, resulting in the formation of a small number of pores in the HIPed ceramics. The stirring effect inhibits the growth of the precursor and molds it into granular-like particles, resulting in spherical-like particles of approximately 50 nm after calcination. The transmittance of stirred aging in the near-infrared wavelength band is also above 80 % (1000–1500 nm) and the maximum transmittance of 84 % can be achieved at 1300 nm wavelength.

Ammonia selective catalytic reduction (NH 3 -SCR) of nitrogen oxides (NO x ) is a widely adopted method for controlling NO x emissions. However, achieving superior low-temperature activity while maintaining high N 2 selectivity over a broad temperature range remains a major challenge. In this study, a novel mesoporous manganese–titanium–aluminum (Mn-Ti-MA-S) composite oxide catalyst was synthesized by a modified evaporation-induced self-assembly method. The incorporation of Mn and Ti into mesoporous alumina (MA) framework significantly optimized the redox-acidic properties of the Mn-Ti-MA catalyst, with Mn in a highly dispersed state with fully exposed microcrystalline structures. Subsequent sulfur treatment further transformed the Lewis acid sites into Brønsted acid sites, shifting the reaction pathway from a Lewis acid site-dominated to Brønsted acid site-dominated mechanism. This strategy successfully overcame the conventional trade-off between low-temperature activity and high-temperature N 2 selectivity in NH 3 -SCR catalysts. Consequently, the optimized Mn-Ti-MA-S catalyst exhibited excellent catalytic performance, achieving both NO x conversion and N 2 selectivity above 90 % over a wide temperature range (104–400 °C). This work highlights a synergistic strategy that integrates redox and acid sites engineering with reaction pathway regulation, enabling the development of highly efficient NH 3 -SCR catalysts.

As microplastic pollution in aquatic ecosystems continues to rise, research on wastewater treatment methods designed to address microplastics has gained significant attention. To reduce the power consumption of electrocoagulation, this study presents an approach using Ti–Al electrode under pulsed current conditions to address polystyrene (PS) microplastic contamination in wastewater. After selecting the appropriate electrode materials and shapes, we conducted a comprehensive investigation into the effects of various operational parameters—such as initial solution pH, electrolyte concentration, current density, pulse frequency, and pulse duty cycle—on PS removal efficiency. Under optimal conditions (electrode spacing of 1 cm, current density of 4 A·m −2 , pulse duty cycle of 40%, pulse frequency of 500 Hz, initial solution pH of 7, and electrolyte concentration of 0.05 mol·L −1 ), the removal efficiency of PS reached 93.24%, with a power consumption of 0.00977 kWh·mg −1 . Analysis of the resulting flocs revealed that free radicals generated during the electrocoagulation process disrupted the microplastic surfaces and facilitated the formation of Ti and Al flocs, which ultimately removed the microplastics through a combination of adsorption, electro-neutralization, and capture mechanisms. This study demonstrates the effectiveness of Ti electrode electrocoagulation for treating microplastic-laden wastewater and provides valuable insights for advancing microplastic treatment technologies. Practitioner Points Using pulse current electrocoagulation to remove polystyrene microplastics from wastewater. Titanium electrodes outperforms traditional electrodes ()in terms of efficiency and energy consumption. The mechanism for removing polystyrene microplastics using titanium electrodes in pulse current electrocoagulation was proposed. Titanium electrode electrocoagulation is effective in removing microplastics from wastewater and provides a reference for actual wastewater treatment. Graphical Titanium complexes such as Ti 4+ , Ti 3+ , Ti (OH) 2 + , and Ti (OH) 3 + generate during the electrocoagulation process, while alongside aluminum complexes like Al 3+ , Al (OH) 2+ , and Al (OH) 2 + generate. These positively charged species engage in charge neutralization with negatively charged microplastic particles. In addition, [Ti (OH) 4 ] n and [Al (OH) 3 ] n flocculants remove polystyrene particles via adsorption, net trapping, and rolling actions owing to their increased surface functional groups and larger specific surface area.

In this study, Ti 3 C 2 T x layers with an average lateral size of approximately 8.3 μm were prepared. The LLM composite membranes synthesized from these layers not only possessed long and narrow mass transfer channels but also further prevented the generation of internal non-selective defects. Additionally, a strategy of compositing these Ti 3 C 2 T x layers and Al(OH) 3 was adopted. The strategy contributed to expanding the interlayer distances of the composite membranes and adjusting the in-plane stacking order, thereby facilitating the construction of mass transfer channels characterized by high permeance within the membranes. This resulted in the preparation of LLMA membranes. Among these LLMA membranes, the LLMA-1:7 composite membranes displayed outstanding performance in the sieving process. Their permeances were more than 10 times higher than those of the LLM membranes (with a thickness of 1 μm). Also, the rejection ratio for CV dye could even exceed 99 %, and the operational stability was also significantly improved. These advantages enabled them to avoid some of the shortcomings commonly found in two-dimensional (2D) separation membranes to a certain extent. In summary, the LLMA-1:7 composite membranes designed in this study demonstrated superior overall performance, compared to the majority of the previously reported 2D membranes. This research is expected to establish a solid foundation for the application of 2D MXene membranes in the field of water treatment.

The efficient transformation of glucose into 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF) is crucial for sustainable bio-refinery processes, but achieving high production efficiency remains challenging. In this study, we presented the preparation of Al-containing metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), specifically MIL-53(Al), MIL-53(Al)-NO2, and MIL-53(Al)-NH2, using different ligands as catalysts to enhance the production of 5-HMF from glucose. Comprehensive characterization provided valuable insights into the properties of the synthesized MOFs. The synthesized MOFs exhibited varied MIL-53(Al) states, morphologies, and thermal stabilities based on the different ligands employed, which in turn affected their catalytic performance. Among the Al-containing MOFs synthesized, MIL-53(Al)-NH2 demonstrated remarkable catalytic capabilities for the conversion of glucose to 5-HMF. This MOF achieved an impressive 5-HMF yield of 53% and a reaction selectivity of 54%. The catalytic efficiency was further enhanced by leveraging the synergistic effect of MIL-53(Al)-NH2 in combination with Amberlyst-36, resulting in a 5-HMF yield of 59% and a reaction selectivity of 60%.

Cu–Al soft soldering plays a crucial role in the fabrication of Cu–Al composites. In this study, a new rosin-type flux for Cu–Al direct soldering was synthesized, and G-1 (Sn42Bi58 paste) and G-2 (Sn64.7Bi35Ag0.3 paste) soft soldering pastes were prepared. The results of flux physicochemical tests are as follows: density 1.11 g/cm 3 , pH 5.2, viscosity 32 Pa s, and non-corrosive to the copper plate. These are in line with the requirements for soldering applications. The wettability test results show that G-1 and G-2 displayed good wettability on the Cu and Al plates. This is in line with the standard Cu–Al soft soldering paste. The mechanical property test showed that G-2 had better mechanical properties than G-1, with a tensile strength of 112.57 MPa. SEM revealed that the IMC (intermetallic compound) layer of G-1 was flatter than that of G-2. This is closely related to the fact that the Ag in Sn64.7Bi35Ag0.3 powders can reduce the enrichment of metallic Bi and refine the grains.

The poor dispersity of graphene in epoxy (EP) coating is harmful to exerting its barrier effect, and the protective efficiency of onefold coating has some difficulty to meet the ever-increasing demands of corrosion protection on Al alloy. Herein, a multilayer protection system (FG-SH-EP) coating was composed of a top superhydrophobic (SH) coating and a bottom amino-functionalized graphene/epoxy (FG-EP) coating. The as-designed multilayer protection system shows good water-repellent (the water contact angle is over 150°). The lowest-frequency impedance of FG-SH-EP is increased by an order of magnitude, because SH surface strengthens the water resistance for early safeguard and FG builds tortuous diffusion path for corrosion media towards physical barrier effect. Additionally, the anti-wear ability of FG-SH-EP is improved by about four times compared to single EP coating. The excellent anti-corrosion/wear behaviors of FG-SH-EP are attributed to the synergistic protection effect of SH-EP and FG-EP. This work is helpful to promote the application of multilayer strategy in alloy protection field.

Aluminium doped strontium titanate, SrTiO3(Al), is considered as the most promising candidate photocatalyst for water splitting; however, it suffers from fast recombination of photogenerated charges and little photocatalytic activity for overall water splitting. Precious metals, such as RhCrOx, are always needed as cocatalysts to enhance the photocatalytic performance. Herein, nitrogen doped graphene quantum dots (NGQDs) were prepared and applied as a hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) cocatalyst of SrTiO3(Al)/CoOx for photocatalytic overall water splitting. The designed NGQDs/SrTiO3(Al)/CoOx is highly active for overall water splitting achieving a H2 evolution rate of 18.8 μmol h−1 and an O2 evolution rate of 9.0 μmol h−1, respectively. The NGQDs and CoOx are dispersed on the different crystal facets of octagonal SrTiO3(Al), which is beneficial to the spatial separation of photogenerated electrons and holes. The strong interaction between NGQDs and SrTiO3(Al) via Ti–O–C chemical bonds enhances the charge transfer and separation. Moreover, the pyrrole N species within NGQD networks act as active sites for the hydrogen evolution reaction.

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.

Al has been considered as a promising Li-ion batteries anode. However, the volume expansion always makes the electrode in an unstable structure. Meanwhile, the natural Al 2 O 3 passivation layer may lead to a large voltage dip, which could interrupt the lithiation process and result in a limited capacity. Herein, we report a neat avenue to activate the commercial Al pellet electrode by replacing the Al 2 O 3 layer with Sn at room temperature. Not any acid or tedious process is needed. Benefiting from the elimination of Al 2 O 3 and high electrochemical-activity of Sn, the obtained Al@Sn pellet electrode delivers a reversible capacity of 959.5 mAh g −1 at 0.1 A g −1 , which is larger than that (395.7 mAh g −1 ) of the commercial Al pellet electrode and approaches the calculated theoretical capacity. Notably, the voltage dip is muchly lowered to 0.03 V from 0.1 V. When graphene oxide (GO) was further attached for relieving the volume expansion, the as-prepared Al@Sn@GO pellet electrode presents astonishing Li-ion storage properties both in half and full batteries. This work demonstrates that the cooperation of the Al 2 O 3 elimination and matrix addition is successful in promoting the Li-ion storage properties of Al anode, presenting an attractive vision for the development of practical Al-based anodes.

The aqueous-based Zn-ammine complex solutions represent one of the most promising routes to obtain the ZnO electron transport layer (ETL) at a low temperature in inverted organic solar cells (OSCs). However, to dope the ZnO film processed from the Zn-ammine complex solutions is difficult since the introduction of metal ions into the Zn-ammine complex is a nontrivial process as ammonium hydroxide tends to precipitate metal salts due to acid-base neutralization reactions. In this paper, we investigate the inverted OSCs with Al-doped-ZnO ETL made by immersion of metallic Al into the Zn-ammine precursor solution. The effects of ZnO layer with different immersion time of Al on film properties and solar cell performance have been studied. The results show that, with the Al-doped-ZnO ETL, an improvement of the device performance could be obtained compared with the device with the un-doped ZnO ETL. The improved device performance is attributed to the enhancement of charge carrier mobility leading to a decreased charge carrier recombination and improved charge collection efficiency. The fabricated thin film transistors with the same ZnO or AZO films confirm the improved electrical characteristics of the Al doped ZnO film.Keywords:organic solar cell;inverted structure;electron transport layer;Al-doped-ZnO

In recent years, in the field of tinplate production, it has become a trend to use lower tin coating mass to lower production costs. However, the preparation of low Sn-coated steel must face two significant problems: toxic chromate post-treatment and low corrosion resistance. In this work, we developed an Mn-Al-P chemical conversion coating using a process sequence-adjusted tinplate of 0.5 g/m 2 tin coating mass as an alternative to the chromate treatment. Meanwhile, by adjusting the subsequence of the reflowing process and the post-treatment process, the wash water and electricity consumption were effectively reduced. The influence of reflowing time on the microstructural appearance, phase composition, surface element distribution, and corrosion resistance of this new brand tinplate was studied. Moreover, the composition was determined by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and further discuss the formation mechanism of this coating. The results show that this mutielement coating could effectively fill tin-free zones on the surface of the tinplate and improve the corrosion resistance when the reflowing time is properly set up to 3.5 s after the process adjustment. However, continually extending the reflowing time would cause the phosphate coating to fall off, leading to the corrosion resistance deterioration. The coating was mainly made up of a series of amorphous phosphate compounds and metal oxides, which was suitable for a tinplate with low tin coating mass.
