Alloy based composite fuel has been widely studied for its higher combustion effect and energy release, compared with traditional metal fuels. The doping of organometallic salt was the key to facilitating the mass and heat transfer process in propellant combustion. In this study, the Al-Li particles were stabilized through tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane hydrochloride (TH) firstly, and the copper perfluorooctanoate Cu(PFO) 2 was obtained through a double displacement reaction and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FT-IR), Ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy (UV-vis), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and thermogravimetric analysis and differential scanning calorimeter (TG-DSC) tests. Owing to the characteristics of easy film formation, the Cu(PFO) 2 could be attached to the passivated Al-Li@TH surface through the solvent evaporation method with good hydrophobicity. The thermal oxidation and combustion characteristics were evaluated by TG-DSC and ignition test for the Al-Li@TH@Cu(PFO) 2 and propellants. The Al-Li@TH@5Cu(PFO) 2 propellant had a better burning rate of 1.21 mm·s -1 , a shorter ignition delay time of 0.67 s, a higher combustion temperature of 1411.26°C and smaller combustion residue distribution with an obvious micro-explosion effect and more stable combustion. The existence of AlF 3 also proved that the release of corrosive gases produced by Cu(PFO) 2 decomposition, which could effectively promote the rupture of Al-Li alloy shell. Besides, the activation energy of Al-Li@TH@5Cu(PFO) 2 and AP could be reduced to 139.37 kJ·mol -1 with a better catalytic effect. The combustion mechanism had also been analyzed through the combustion phenomena and residue composition. The exploration of propellant combustion could offer a promising avenue for applying Al-Li alloys in various propulsion systems.

Si-based anodes are limited in their widespread application mainly because of their significant volume expansion during cycling. In this study, the hollow Si thin film anode (H-Si-0.1) was prepared using ZIF-8 as a sacrificial template, followed by etching with 0.1 M hydrochloric acid (HCl). The hollow Si was coated with dual Al layers on its inner and outer surfaces, forming the Al/H-Si-0.1/Al composite thin film anode. The hollow structure provides buffering space to accommodate volume change and facilitates the formation of a gyrification-like structure on the film anode during cycling, significantly enhancing cycling stability. Moreover, the hollow structure creates efficient diffusion pathways for lithium ions, improving ion transport. The dual Al layers provide mechanical support for the structural stability of the anode and suppress side reactions. The Al/H-Si-0.1/Al thin film anode provides a high reversible capacity of 2098 mA h g −1 at 0.5 A g −1 . It exhibits a specific capacity of 1512 mA h g −1 at 5 A g −1 after 300 cycles, achieving a capacity retention of 94.56 %.

Alkaline Al-air batteries (AABs) are gaining increasing attention for large-scale energy storage systems due to their attractive intrinsic safety and cost-effectiveness. Nonetheless, future development of AABs is substantially hampered by water-induced self-corrosion processes on the Al anode. In this work, we introduce an amino acid derivative, namely Nα-Boc-N1-formyl-L-tryptophan (NBLT), into 4 M NaOH electrolyte to construct a unique layer that can effectively regulate the surface microstructure of Al anode. The findings of the experiments show that NBLT can be used as a reliable corrosion inhibitor. The effectiveness of the inhibitor increases with NBLT concentration, reaching a maximum of 73.9% at 1.5 mM. In comparison to the pristine condition, there is a significant increase in anode utilization from 31.8% to 82.9%, capacity density from 947.9 to 2469.1 mAh g−1, and energy density from 1261.6 to 3384.6 Wh kg−1. Theoretical calculations indicate that the carboxyl moieties present in the NBLT molecule establish coordination bonds with the Al atoms, thereby exerting a dominant role on the formation of the self-assembled barrier. The present investigation paves an effective strategy to inhibit reactions between anodes and electrolytes for advanced AABs.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA) infection poses a significant threat to human health and the economy, with the issue of drug resistance becoming increasingly severe. How to quickly, accurately, and inexpensively detect PA and differentiate live bacteria from dead ones is crucial for clinical follow-up treatment. To this end, we have developed a biosensor based on fluorescent metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) (Eu 3+ @MIL-53(Al)) and specific-phages for PA detection, where the Eu 3+ @MIL-53(Al) prepared by one-pot method exhibits excellent fluorescence properties. By covalently binding specific phages isolated from hospital wastewater to the EuMOF surface, we constructed a fluorescent biosensor capable of detecting PA within 15 min, with a sensitivity threshold of 2 CFU/mL. Notably, this biosensor demonstrates high specificity, accurately quantifying live PA in complex bacterial mixtures and distinguishing live from dead bacteria. Its practical application has been validated in clinical blood and stool samples. As a novel platform for clinical microbial monitoring, the Eu 3+ @MIL-53(Al)-phage biosensor not only holds substantial economic potential but also carries significant public health implications.

This paper prepared aluminum@polytetrafluoroethylene (Al@PTFE) composite fuels with different PTFE contents and evaluated the effect of PTFE content on the thermal and combustion characteristics via multiple characterization methods. The scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and thermogravimetry–differential scanning calorimetry (TG-DSC) results showed that the PTFE was well coated on the surface, and the higher the PTFE content, the faster the oxidation reaction rate. Al@PTFE_8% fuel demonstrated more stable thermal performance and higher weight gain. Al@PTFE_15% had a weak endothermic peak at 337.2 °C, while the other two fuels did not appear. The nanosecond pulsed laser-induced plasma ignition (LIPI) test showed that compared to pure Al counterpart, Al@PTFE fuels could effectively shorten the ignition delay and promote the energy release, for Al@PTFE_8% with a reduction of 41.9% in ignition delay and an increase by 17.1 % in combustion temperature. The self-sustaining burn time decreased as the PTFE content increased. The gas-phase combustion of Al@PTFE fuels were more pronounced, and their AlO spectral signal intensity were stronger. The Al@PTFE combustion residues showed lots of cracks and holes, and the mass fraction of O was increased from 22.96 % (Al) to 30.53 % (Al@PTFE_8%). The proposed combustion mechanism reveals that PTFE destroyed the alumina film that hindered combustion, significantly promoting the combustion of Al particles. This study provides guidance for laser-induced plasma ignition of this material under ultrahigh heating rates.

Upcycling retired lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) into value-added electrocatalysts represents a promising strategy for tuning the trash into treasure. Herein, an effective approach is reported to convert the LIB anode residues into electrocatalysts that enhance the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). The residues are utilized for synthesizing reduced graphene oxides (rGO) with Mn nanoparticles anchored by N and S dopants (Mn/NS-rGO). A Pt/C-comparable ORR performance is achieved in alkaline media, with the onset and half-wave potentials of 1.01 and 0.87 V, as well as the excellent durability. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations reveal that Mn sites, coordinating with N and S dopants, simultaneously optimize the intermediate adsorption and charge distribution, which in turn facilitates ORR. The solid-state Al-air batteries are assembled by using Mn/NS-rGO as the cathode catalyst, showing the power density of 103.8 mW cm − 2 , which successfully charge a cell phone and power LED lights under flexible working conditions.

This study investigated the effect of aluminum oxide (Al 2 O 3 ) additives on the properties of NaF-AlF 3 -SiO 2 melts. The liquid-phase line temperature was determined through thermal analysis, while the solubility and volatilization loss of silicon dioxide (SiO 2 ) were evaluated using the rotating quartz disk method and volatilization experiments. The dissolution mechanism of Al 2 O 3 in the melt was explored through thermodynamic analysis and experimental validation. The results indicated that Al 2 O 3 addition significantly decreased liquid-phase line temperature, enhanced SiO 2 solubility, and reduced volatilization losses. These findings provide a theoretical basis for optimizing the electrolysis process of Al–Si alloys, which contribute to improved melt performance, enhanced energy efficiency, and reduced volatilization losses, thereby promoting increased efficiency in industrial applications.

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.

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

Bi-functional catalysts consisting of platinum on aluminosilicate MCM-41 materials with Si/Al ratios between 10 and 30 were prepared via direct mixed-gel synthesis. The catalysts were tested in the hydrocracking of bio-alkanes, produced from biodiesel hydrodeoxygenation and composed of n-hexadecane and n-octadecane, for the production of bio-jet fuel. The effects of temperature, pressure, weight hourly space velocity (WHSV), and H 2 /n-paraffin weight ratio on bio-alkanes conversion and product distribution were examined. The conversion was found to be dependent on the acid strength of the catalyst supports which were proportional to the Al content. However, the catalyst selectivity decreased with the increasing Al content. The optimal Si/Al ratio, temperature, pressure, WHSV, and H 2 /n-paraffin weight ratio were determined to be 20, 330 °C, 2 MPa, 1 h −1 , and 0.20, respectively. Under these conditions, the bio-alkanes conversion and kerosene/gasoline ratio in the product reached 65.62% and 1.96, respectively.

Hierarchical nanoporous Al–SiO2 particles were prepared in this study by dissolving template method. The hierarchical nanoporous Al–SiO2 particles with hollow structure were analyzed by transmission electron microscope (TEM), energy dispersive spectrometer
(EDS), scanning electron microscope (SEM), nitrogen adsorption stripping curves and Barrett-Joyner-Halenda (BJH) pore size distribution curves. Hierarchical nanoporous Al–SiO2/Ni–Mo composite electrodes were prepared by composite deposition of hierarchical nanoporous
Al–SiO2 particles onto electroplating bath of Ni–Mo. Results showed that the specific surface area for the hierarchical nanoporous Al–SiO2 sample was 396 m2/g, with pore volume being 1.37 cm3/g and mesoporous pore size being 3.3
nm. The hydrogen evolution electrocatalytic activities for the composite electrodes reached the optimal value when the concentration of the hierarchical nanoporous Al–SiO2 in the electroplating bath was 2 g/L, indicating that their “foam” structure did not only
enhance the electrode surface area but also effectively improved the electrocatalytic properties of aluminum and showed that the electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution by the hierarchical nanoporous Al–SiO2/Ni–Mo composite electrodes had more advantages than that of the
Ni–Mo electrodes alone.

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.
