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.

The development of thermally stable Pt-based catalysts with superior performance for propane dehydrogenation reactions remains a daunting challenge. In this study, a series of PtSn-Mg(Zn)AlO catalysts with different Zn and Pt contents were synthesized by the anion-exchange method for the propane dehydrogenation reaction. To investigate the influence of Zn on the reaction performance and the catalyst structure, the prepared catalysts were characterized with several analytical techniques, including XRD , TEM, HRTEM, H 2 -TPD and CO pulse chemisorption . A good propane conversion (initially higher than 55% and averaging 45.2% over a period of 2 h) and propene selectivity (higher than 99%) were obtained experimentally with PtSn-Mg(3Zn)AlO at 550 °C. The results demonstrated that Pt provided the active sites and that Zn was a promoter. The HRTEM and CO pulse chemisorption results indicated that the addition of Zn to the PtSn-MgAlO catalyst can stabilize the dispersion of metal particles and thus inhibit the sintering of Pt particles. Furthermore, the activities of the used catalysts were almost recovered through reaction-regeneration cycles with the burning-off of coke during five cycles.

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.

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.

An energy storage system based on a battery-type electrode and a capacitive electrode as a hybrid supercapacitor offers a promising way to construct devices with advantages of both rechargeable batteries and carbon-based supercapacitors. NiCoAl-LDH nanosheets uniformly grow onto micron-scaled MXene sheets to form a NiCoAl-LDH/V4C3Tx heterostructure with three-dimensional interconnected porous network microstructures by a hydrothermal method. NiCoAl-LDH/V4C3Tx composite electrodes show an excellent specific capacity of 627 C g−1 at a current density of 1 A g−1 in 1 M KOH. Especially, the NiCoAl-LDH/V4C3Tx electrodes exhibit a specific capacity of 300 C g−1 even at a high current density of 20 A g−1 in 1 M KOH, showing excellent rate performance. Hybrid supercapacitors, constructed with NiCoAl-LDH/V4C3Tx as the battery-type electrode and activated carbon (AC) as the capacitive electrode, show superior energy densities of 71.7 and 45.0 W h kg−1 at power densities of 830 and 20 000 W kg−1 in 1 M KOH, respectively. The excellent capacity retention rate is 98% for the hybrid device after 10 000 cycles at 20 A g−1 in 1 M KOH. The NiCoAl-LDH/V4C3Tx heterostructures can be used as promising electrode materials for low-cost hybrid supercapacitor devices.

We propose a new Cu–Al dual-ion battery that aqueous solution composed of LiCl, CuCl and AlCl 3 (LiCuAl) is used as the electrolyte, CuS is used as the cathode of aqueous aluminum ion battery for the first time and copper foil is used as the anode. The assembled Cu–Al dual-ion battery yields a reversible capacity of 538 mA h/g at 200 mA/g, and exhibits longterm cycling stability of over 200 cycles with 88.6% capacity retention at 1000 mA/g. Above excellent performance is inseparable from the three components of LiCuAl electrolyte and electrode materials. The Al-storage mechanism of CuS is proposed that the S–S bond in CuS lattice interacts with aluminum ions during the aluminum storage process. In addition, the charging and discharging process does not cause irreversible damage to the S–S bond, thus Cu–Al dual-ion battery with CuS as cathode shows great cycle stability.

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%.

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.

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.

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.

To achieve the low energy consumption and high strength joining between Ti and Ni, a novel joining method (rapid thermal explosion, TE) was developed for joining dissimilar metals using Ti-Al mixture powders as flux. The TE reaction temperature of Ti-Al flux was measured, and the microstructure and mechanical properties of Ti/Ni joint were investigated. The results reveal that the combustion temperature of the Ti-Al powder interlayer is 1103 °C, which is higher than the joining temperature, and an obvious self-exothermic phenomenon lasts 20 s. The intermetallic compound diffusion layers formed at both interfaces mainly owing to the diffusion of Al and the growth activation energy of diffusion layers near both interfaces are 79.68 kJ/mol and 38.26 kJ/mol, respectively. Based on the sheer strength and diffusion layer, the formation mechanism of Ti/Ni joints is metallurgical bonding through atomic diffusion and formation of the diffusion layer.

M 3+ controls phase evolution: Al/Ga form Cu-Co alloy; In 3+ leads to CuIn, CoIn 2 , In 2 O 3 separation. • Surface hydroxyls and bridged CO provide dual CHₓ sources for C 2+ OH formation. • Medium-strength basic sites and Cu + fraction, not total basicity, govern C 2+ OH selectivity. • Smaller M 3+ radius (Al 3+ ) strengthens metal-support interaction, enhancing dispersion and performance. The modulation of trivalent cations in layered double hydroxide (LDH)-derived catalysts provides an effective strategy for tuning the multifunctional active sites for higher alcohol synthesis. In this study, a series of layered CuCoM catalysts (M = Al, Ga, In) was synthesized via alkaline co-precipitation and evaluated for higher alcohols synthesis via CO hydrogenation. The results demonstrate that the introduction of M 3 + is essential for constructing the LDH precursor structure and significantly influences the phase evolution, morphology, textural properties, reducibility, surface basicity, and chemical states of the catalysts. Among the catalysts tested, CuCoAl exhibited the best overall performance, achieving a CO conversion of 35.60%, an ethanol selectivity of 39.97%, and a C 2 + alcohols selectivity of 73.47%. Structural characterization revealed that CuCoAl had the highest specific surface area and the most uniform dispersion of Cu and Co species, which favored the exposure of accessible active sites. CO 2 -TPD, XPS, and in situ DRIFTS results further indicated that CuCoAl contained abundant surface hydroxyl groups and a higher fraction of Cu + , which promoted the formation of formate species, facilitated non-dissociative CO insertion, and enhanced CH x generation through both formate hydrogenation and bridged CO dissociation on Co sites. The superior catalytic performance of CuCoAl is thus attributed to the synergistic effect of highly dispersed Cu-Co active sites, abundant surface hydroxyl groups, and optimized Cu + /Co interfacial functionalities. This study provides mechanistic insights into trivalent-cation regulation in LDH-derived CuCo catalysts and offers a rational strategy for the design of efficient catalysts for higher alcohol synthesis from syngas.
