To address the need for reducing carbon emissions and enhancing the sustainable utilization of non-fossil resources, a one-step calcination strategy has been developed to fabricate hierarchical carbon aerogels from balsa wood. The resulting wood-derived carbon aerogels (WCA) were functionalized with Mg(OH)2to boost their environmental remediation potential. Comprehensive characterization using XRD, FT-IR, XPS, and SEM confirmed that the optimized WCA/Mg(OH)2composite (WCAMg) retained a three-dimensional hierarchical porous structure, and Mg(OH)2nanosheets were attached to it. The adsorption performance of WCAMg composites towards Cd2+was systematically investigated through controlled experiments, which focused on three critical variables (Mg(OH)2loading content, initial Cd2+concentration and solution ionic strength). The functionalized WCAMg demonstrated a maximum Cd2+adsorption capacity of 351.1 mg g−1—a tenfold improvement over pristine WCA. Combined with exceptional adsorption efficiency, this biomass-derived composite offers an eco-friendly, cost-effective solution for heavy metal ion remediation. Its scalable fabrication from renewable resources aligns with sustainable water treatment objectives, presenting the advantage of pollution mitigation.

Olivine-type LiMnxFe1−xPO4 (LMFP, 0 < x < 1) is poised to supplant LiFePO4 cathode materials with a ∼20% energy-density increase for Li-ion batteries (LIBs). However, its intrinsic low conductivities and MnO6 octahedral unit-cell Jahn–Teller distortion limit its power capability and cycling life. Herein, we report a Mg/Ni dual-doped and carbon-coated LMFP micro-sized secondary sphere with greatly enhanced reaction kinetics and superior structure stability. Ni2+ reduces the average valence state of Mn ions to alleviate Jahn–Teller distortion by participating in charge compensation during charging while improving electronic conductivity together with carbon coating. Mg2+ with a smaller ion radius (65 pm) significantly widens the Li-ion transfer channel by extending Li–O bonds. The as-obtained LMFP cathodes increase reversible specific capacity by about 2.4 times at 5C compared with a pristine sample, reaching 115 mA h g−1. In a pouch-type full cell, 92% of its initial capacity is still maintained after 2000 cycles at 1C, demonstrating its attractive potential for practical application in high-power and long-life LIBs.

In this study, Mg ions incorporated phytic acid (PA) and zoledronic acid (ZA) of metal-organic complex coating was built on Mg substrate. This coating aims to fulfill the corrosion controlling and differential regulation on osteoblast vs. osteoclast responses simultaneously. PA and ZA molecules were co-immobilized on the alkaline pretreated Mg by a facile one-step dip-coating method. Such immobilization process was executed by the chelation reaction between PA/ZA molecules and in-situ released Mg ions. This coating showed a homogeneous structure with metal-organic like framework. The electrochemical corrosion resistance and long-term degradation behavior of coated samples were remarkably improved. Consequently, the well-controlled Mg ion release, as well as the osteo-compatible PA molecule, promoted the proliferation of pre-osteoblast cells (MC3T3-E1). Moreover, this coating significantly suppressed both the proliferation and differentiation of osteoclast cells owing to the nature of ZA. This metal-organic complex coating offers a promising modifying strategy for Mg-based orthopedic implants for osteoporotic fracture healing.

The Mg(NH 2 ) 2 -2LiH composite system is a promising vehicle-mounted hydrogen storage material, but its application is limited due to serious thermodynamic and kinetic barriers. Adding additives can effectively optimize their hydrogen absorption and desorption kinetics and thermodynamic performance. In this work the comprehensive hydrogen storage performance of Mg(NH 2 ) 2 -2LiH with extremely small nano rare earth borides is improved, and a series of characterization methods and density functional theory (DFT) calculation systems was combined to study its hydrogen storage improvement mechanism. The research results show that the method of adding 5 wt% molten salt to prepare nano CeB 6 (24.5 nm) can significantly reduce the initial hydrogen absorption/release temperature of Mg(NH 2 ) 2 -2LiH from 110/130 to 45/90 °C, inhibit the generation of ammonia by-products, and improve hydrogen purity. Under low-temperature hydrogen absorption conditions at 120 °C, the improved sample can absorb 2.81 wt% hydrogen gas, with a hydrogen absorption capacity more than 3.5 times of the unmodified sample. The amount of hydrogen released at 150 °C reaches 3.35 wt%, which is more than twice that of the pristine sample, demonstrating excellent hydrogen absorption and release kinetics performance. After 10 consecutive hydrogen cycles, 4.64 wt% hydrogen can still be released, and the cycle retention rate can be increased from 85% before improvement to nearly 100%, demonstrating good reversibility. Mechanism studies show that nano CeB 6 can effectively weaken the Mg–N and N–H bonds of Mg(NH 2 ) 2 and inhibit the polycrystalline transformation of the hydrogen evolution product Li 2 MgN 2 H 2 at high temperatures. It can also provide nucleation active sites for hydrogen absorption and desorption in the material, making the system possess superior hydrogen absorption and desorption performance and cycling stability. This study provides new insights into the role of rare earth borides in Mg(NH 2 ) 2 -2LiH hydrogen storage materials, both experimentally and theoretically.

The magnesium based metal hydrogen storage composite system Mg(NH 2 ) 2 -2LiH has a theoretical hydrogen storage capacity of 5.6 wt.% and is a promising hydrogen storage material for vehicles. However, its application is limited due to serious thermodynamic and kinetic barriers. Introducing efficient catalysts is an effective method to improve the hydrogen storage performance of Mg(NH 2 ) 2 -2LiH. This article investigates for the first time the use of nano rare earth oxide CeO 2 (∼44.5 nm) as an efficient modifier, achieving comprehensive regulation of the hydrogen storage performance of Mg(NH 2 ) 2 -2LiH composite system through oxygen vacancy driven catalysis. The modification mechanism of nano CeO 2 is also systematically studied using density functional theory (DFT) calculations and experimental results. Research has shown that the comprehensive hydrogen storage performance of the Mg(NH 2 ) 2 -2LiH-5 wt.% CeO 2 composite system is optimal, with high hydrogen absorption and desorption kinetics and reversible performance. The initial hydrogen absorption and desorption temperatures of the composite system were significantly reduced from 110/130°C to 65/80°C, and the release of by-product ammonia was significantly inhibited. Under the conditions of 170°C/50 min and 180°C/100 min, 4.37 wt.% of hydrogen can be rapidly absorbed and released. After 10 cycles of hydrogen release, the hydrogen cycle retention rate increased from 85% to nearly 100%. Further mechanistic studies have shown that the nano CeO 2− x generated in situ during hydrogen evolution can effectively weaken the Mg–N and N–H bonds of Mg(NH 2 ) 2 , exhibiting good catalytic effects. Meanwhile, oxygen vacancies provide a fast pathway for the diffusion of hydrogen atoms in the composite system. In addition, nano CeO 2− x can effectively inhibit the polycrystalline transformation of the hydrogen evolving product Li 2 MgN 2 H 2 in the system at high temperatures, reducing the difficulty of re-hydrogenation of the system. This study provides an innovative perspective for the efficient modification of magnesium based metal hydrogen storage composite materials using rare earth based catalysts, and also provides a reference for regulating the comprehensive hydrogen storage performance of hydrogen storage materials using rare earth catalysts with oxygen vacancies.

Mg alloy is an excellent biomaterial due to its ideal mechanical properties , bio-degradability and bio-compatibility. However, high local pH, subcutaneous gas pockets and compromised mechanical integrity caused by high degradation rate restrict its clinical application. The purpose of this study is to improve the anti-corrosion properties of 5β-TCP/Mg-3Zn scaffold using poly-dopamine/gelatin (PDA/G) composite coatings through an easy, convenient and cheap dipping method. We found that dopamine (C 8 H 11 NO 2 ) slowed down corrosion by forming thin, surface-adherent PDA films on the scaffold surface. Gelatin formed a dense organic membrane cover on the rough surface which results from the processing of PDA membrane to seal the macrocracks and protect it from corrosion. As compared to bare 5β-TCP/Mg-3Zn alloy, electrochemical tests showed that the corrosion current density ( i corr ) decreased from 5.24 × 10 −3 A/cm 2 to 1.41 × 10 −3 A/cm 2 , indicating improved anti-corrosion properties. The soaking results indicated that pH values of immersion solution, as well as the volumes of released hydrogen, were 9.83 and 9.25, 20 mL and 15 mL for bare and coated alloy, respectively, indicating that the composite coating enhanced the anti-corrosion property of Mg alloy. The in vitro cytotoxicity test showed that 10%, 50% and 100% concentration of the immersion solution were safe for cellular applications. The in vivo test showed that serum magnesium concentration for PDA/G was lower than that of the bare sample. In addition, the materials and coatings were nontoxic to muscle and other vital organs, including heart, liver, kidney, and muscle. Moreover, the PDA/G composite coating showed a better anti-corrosion property in vivo than the bare sample and displayed a longer service time. These results suggest that coating of 5β-TCP/Mg-3Zn scaffold with PDA/G slowed down the corrosion rate of Mg alloy.

Chlorinated phenols are priority pollutants that require efficient low-temperature removal technologies. Here, we synthesize a series of spinel-type MAl 2 O 4 (M = Co, Mg, Zn, Cu) supports and deposit 1 wt% Pd via incipient-wetness impregnation to evaluate their hydrodechlorination (HDC) performance toward 4-chlorophenol under ambient aqueous conditions (30 °C, 0.2 MPa H 2 ). Catalytic screening shows that the identity of the divalent A-site cation strongly modulates activity: Pd/Co-Al achieves 91.8 % conversion with > 98.3 % selectivity to phenol, outperforming Pd/Ni-Al (84.7 %) and the remaining analogues. Pd/Cu-Al exhibits almost no conversion (<5.0 %), while Pd/Mg-Al and Pd/Zn-Al give moderate conversions (ca.55.4–58.7 %). Detailed characterization by XRD, N 2 -physisorption, H 2 -TPR, XPS and STEM reveals that the superior performance of Pd/Co-Al is rooted in (i) strong metal–support interactions that stabilize a balanced Pd 2+ /Pd 0 surface ensemble, (ii) coherent lattice matching at Pd(1 1 1)/CoAl 2 O 4 (311) interfaces that suppress particle growth, and (iii) high spinel thermostability that mitigates leaching and coking. A 30 h continuous-flow test confirms stable operation without activity loss. This work elucidates how subtle variations in spinel composition dictate Pd electronic structure and interfacial geometry, providing design principles for next-generation HDC catalysts.

Magnesium (Mg) alloys are widely used in bone fixation and bone repair as biodegradable bone-implant materials. However, their clinical application is limited due to their fast corrosion rate and poor mechanical stability. Here, the development of Mg–2Zn–0.5Ca–0.5Sr (MZCS) and Mg–2Zn–0.5Ca–0.5Zr (MZCZ) alloys with improved mechanical properties, corrosion resistance, cytocompatibility, osteogenesis performance, and antibacterial capability is reported. The hot-extruded (HE) MZCZ sample exhibits the highest ultimate tensile strength of 255.8 ± 2.4 MPa and the highest yield strength of 208.4 ± 2.8 MPa and an elongation of 15.7 ± 0.5%. The HE MZCS sample shows the highest corrosion resistance, with the lowest corrosion current density of 0.2 ± 0.1 µA cm −2 and the lowest corrosion rate of 4 ± 2 µm per year obtained from electrochemical testing, and a degradation rate of 368 µm per year and hydrogen evolution rate of 0.83 ± 0.03 mL cm −2 per day obtained from immersion testing. The MZCZ sample shows the highest cell viability in relation to MC3T3-E1 cells among all alloy extracts, indicating good cytocompatibility except at 25% concentration. Furthermore, the MZCZ alloy shows good antibacterial capability against Staphylococcus aureus .

Mg-bearing MTW silicalite zeolite, MgSi-ZSM-12, was straightforwardly synthesized by involving an unusual acidic pre-gelation system and engaged as the task-specific support for loading the Au nanoparticles (NPs). The resulting Au/MgSi-ZSM-12 catalyst showed stably excellent activity for the oxidation of HMF into FDCA in the presence of atmospheric dioxygen (O 2 ) without externally adding any liquid base, affording a yield of 87 % and turnover number (TON) of 331 based on the surface Au sites. Superior basicity was evidenced by embedding Mg species into the all-silica zeolitic skeleton, which enables strong, weak, and near-zero affinity towards aldehyde, alcohol, and carboxyl groups, respectively, thus, allows rapid and high-uptake adsorption of HMF, but negligible adsorption of FDCA. This unique feature of the Mg-bearing all-silica zeolite support together with its synergy with the active sites of Au NPs is revealed to accelerate the production of FDCA under the base-free mild condition.

To substitute fossil resources, it is necessary to investigate the conversion of biomass into 1,2-propanediol (1,2-PDO) as a high-value-added chemical. The Pt/deAl-Beta@Mg(OH)2catalytic system is designed to obtain a higher 1,2-PDO production yield. The optimal yield of 1,2-PDO is 34.1%. The unique shell-core structure of the catalyst demonstrates stability, with a catalytic yield of over 30% after three times of use. The primary process path from glucose to 1,2-PDO, glucose-hexitol-1,2-PDO, is speculated by the experiments of intermediate product selectivity. The alkaline catalytic mechanism of the reaction process is elucidated by studying catalyst characterization and analyzing different time courses of products. The introduction of Mg(OH)2improves the target yield by promoting the isomerization from glucose to fructose and retro-aldol condensation (RAC) conversion, with pseudo-yield increases of 76.1% and 42.1%, respectively. By studying the processes of producing lactic acid and 1,2-PDO from glucose, the glucose hydrogenolysis flow chart is improved, which is of great significance for accurately controlling 1,2-PDO production in industrial applications. The metal, acid, and alkali synergistic catalytic system constructed in this paper can provide a theoretical basis and route reference for applying biomass conversion technology in practice.Keywords:1,2-propanediol;alkaline modification;core–shell catalyst

Micromotors have gained considerable attention in the field of environmental remediation owing to their self-propulsion motion that can efficiently accelerate the mass transfer and mixing in solution. Herein, we reported a novel Ag/Mg(Ni)Al-layered double hydroxide (LDH) Janus micromotor derived from lotus pollen for dynamic removal of organic pollutant from water. The as-prepared three-dimensional (3D) flower-sphere micromotor was composed of free-standing Mg(Ni)Al-LDH nanosheets half-deposited with Ag nanoparticles. Under the recoil force caused by the oxygen bubbles those were generated via the decomposition of H 2 O 2 catalyzed by Ag nanoparticles, Ag/Mg(Ni)Al-LDHs micromotors could move rapidly with a speed of 115.4 ± 10.3 μm s −1 (≈ 2.2 body lengths s −1 ) in 5 wt% H 2 O 2 . Furthermore, the maximum Congo red (CR) adsorption capacity of Ag/MgAl-LDH micromotor was up to 350.16 mg g −1 , which was 1.33 times greater than the MgAl-LDHs (non-micromotor). Meanwhile, the adsorption rate was significantly accelerated compared to the non-micromotor counterparts. The results show that the enhanced adsorption capacity of micromotor benefited from the combination of 3D porous microstructure with high surface area (209.7 m 2 g −1 ), electrostatic attraction and self-propelled movement.

In this study, single-phase high-entropy ceramics (HECs) with the composition (Co,Mn,Fe,Zn,Ni,Mg,Al,Cr) 3 O 4 were successfully synthesized using five different types of spinel raw materials. The resulting material demonstrates excellent performance in the negative temperature coefficient (NTC) thermistor field. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis confirmed the structure as a cubic spinel with a single Fd-3m space group. The electron microscope image reveals the growth of ceramic grains with increasing sintering temperature, with a uniform distribution of all elements. After 1800 h of accelerated aging at 150 °C, the Δ R / R 0 value was only 0.41 %, indicating the ceramic's exceptional structural stability. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS) analysis reveals that electrical conductivity are mainly governed by electron hopping between Mn 3+ and Mn 4+ ions in the octahedral sublattice sites. Impedance spectroscopy further shows that grain boundary resistance is the dominant contributor to the total resistance. This study provides new insights into the synthesis of single-phase HECs materials and proposes strategies to enhance material stability for future applications.
