In this work, we demonstrate the first use of NiCoP nanosheet array on Ti mesh (NiCoP NA/Ti) as an efficient catalyst for hydrolysis of NaBH 4 in alkaline media . This catalyst shows a low activation energy of 52.68 kJ/mol for NaBH 4 hydrolysis meanwhile the hydrogen generation rate can achieve 3016.79 mL/min/g (NiCoP) at 303 K, outperforming most reported Co-based noble-metal-free catalysts and some noble-metal catalysts. Remarkably, the catalyst exhibits high recyclability , durability and controllability for on-demand hydrogen generation in alkaline NaBH 4.

Graphical Anodes go bimetallic : On cycling of as-prepared 3D CoTiO 3 nanofibers, during the first lithiation process, along with the formation of a Li 2 O matrix, Ti IV and Co II species were converted/reduced to Li x TiO 2 nanoparticles (NPs) and metallic Co NPs, respectively, which suggested the electrochemical in situ formation of bimetallic transition-metal oxides (see figure). Bimetallic transition-metal oxides, which exhibit superior electrochemical properties compared with pristine single-metal oxides, have recently become a topic of significant research interest for applications in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). Herein, we report a simple and scalable electrospinning method to synthesize porous CoTiO 3 nanofibers as the precursor for nanostructured bimetallic transition-metal oxides formed electrochemically in situ. This strategy ensures uniform mixing and perfect contact between two constituent transition-metal oxides during the lithiation/delithiation process. Furthermore, CoTiO 3 nanofibers based on ultrafine CoTiO 3 nanocrystals are interconnected to form a nano/microstructured 3D network, which ensures the high stability of the in situ formed structure composed of bimetallic transition-metal oxides, and also fast ion/electron transfer and electrolyte penetration into the electrode. Electrochemical measurements revealed the excellent lithium storage (647 mAh g −1 at 0.1 Ag −1 ) and retention properties (600 mAh g −1 at 1 Ag −1 after 1200 cycles) of the CoO/TiO 2 electrode. Moreover, the electrochemical reaction mechanism was explored by using ex situ X-ray photoelectric spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry tests, which confirmed the two-phase reaction processes in the electrodes. These results clearly validate the potential of CoTiO 3 with a unique nano/microstructured morphology as the precursor for a bimetallic transition-metal oxide for use as the anode material for long-life LIBs.

Quantification of chromium in V–Cr–Ti ternary alloys, used as candidate structural materials for fusion reactors, is essential in view of its significant effect on the properties of these vanadium-based alloys. Various methods have already been used for the determination of chromium in common alloys, but most of these methods are based on complicated and expensive instruments or suffer from the serious matrix interference of vanadium. In this study, a simple, rapid and accurate spectrophotometric method was developed for the determination of chromium in V–Cr–Ti alloys without any prior separation and chromogenic agent. The alloy samples were dissolved in diluted sulphuric acid and concentrated nitric acid, and chromium was oxidized with persulphate in the presence of Ag(I) ions as a catalyst. After alkalization of the solution with sodium hydrate, greenish-yellow coloured chromate (CrO42−) ions were formed in the alkaline solution and had a maximum absorption peak at 374 nm. Beer's law was obeyed in the range of 0.15–12.0 μg mL−1 Cr(VI) at 374 nm and the molar absorptivity was 4.8 × 103 L mol−1 cm−1. All the variables were studied in order to optimize the analytical conditions. Vanadium and titanium seriously interfered with the determination of Cr(VI) and their interference can be eliminated by addition of ammonium tartrate. The proposed method is simple, fast, accurate and of low cost, and has been satisfactorily used for the determination of chromium in V–Cr–Ti alloys. The results are in good agreement with data given by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) and the relative standard deviation is found to be lower than 0.4%.

In this work, the hybrid material NH 2 -MIL-125(Ti)@TpPa-NO 2 was synthesized by grafting an amino-functionalized titanium-based metal–organic framework (NH 2 -MIL-125(Ti)) with 2,4,6-tri(4-pyridyl)-1,3,5-triazine-nitro (TpPa-NO 2 ) moieties. The resulting composite material exhibited remarkable removal efficiency owing to the synergistic effects derived from the combination of the NH 2 -MIL-125(Ti) and TpPa-NO 2 components. The material demonstrated excellent stability and recyclability, making it a promising candidate for the treatment of wastewater containing rhodamine-B (Rhd-B). Some characterization techniques were employed to elucidate the structural features and surface morphology of the hybrid material. The adsorption capacity of NH 2 -MIL-125(Ti)@TpPa-NO 2 for Rhd-B dye was evaluated, and the results revealed an exceptional removal efficiency of 99.96 % and a high adsorption capacity of 25.54 mg/g, highlighting the superior adsorption performance of the material. The adsorption process was found to follow Langmuir isotherm and pseudo-second-order kinetics, indicating that chemisorption is the predominant mechanism governing the uptake of Rhd-B dye onto NH 2 -MIL-125(Ti)@TpPa-NO 2 .

Lithium metal batteries have potentially high energy density, but severe uncontrolled lithium dendrites and unstable side reactions prevent large-scale applications. Serial three-dimensional porous poly (vinylidene fluoride) and copolymer membrane-based composite gel electrolytes are designed by introducing MIL-125 (Ti) and ethylene carbonate. Abundant lithium-ion transportation channels and homogeneous ion transport microregion are provided the new type porous fluoropolymer substrate. We also find that crystalline phase and dielectric properties of serial polymer membrane have significant impact on electrochemical performance for composite gel electrolytes. The mechanical and dielectric property of composite electrolyte enhanced by incorporating uniform and well distribution MIL-125 (Ti), which improve the electrolyte/electrode interface charge distribution and promote uniform lithium deposition, leading to lithium dendrite suppression. MIL-125 (Ti)/P(VDF-TrFE-CTFE) composite membrane shows the enhanced maximum strain of 181%, thermal stability (188°C) and corresponding composite gel electrolyte reflects higher ionic conductivity of 1.7 × 10 -3 S cm -1 and wider electrochemical window at room temperature than PVDF and PVDF-HFP composite electrolytes. Expectedly, quasi-solid state lithium metal battery of MIL-125 (Ti)/P(VDF-TrFE-CTFE) composite gel electrolyte exhibits higher discharge capacity (152.8 mAh g -1 ) at 240th cycle and 1 C, longer cycling life and better rate performance under large current density than PVDF and PVDF-HFP composite electrolytes.

Preparing metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) film in situ on the surface of the Ti-6Al-4V (TC4) titanium alloy is challenging owing to the dense and stable surface TiO 2 passive film. In this study, titanium-doped zirconium-based MOFs (Zr(Ti)-MOFs) film was constructed in situ on the TC4 alloy in one step at a low temperature and atmospheric pressure, with ZrCl 4 as the source of Zr metal ions. ZrCl 4 attacked and dissolved the TiO 2 film to form Zr-O-Ti bonds on the surface of TC4 to provide nucleation sites for further reactions. At the same time, Zr 4+ and dissolved Ti 4+ combined in solution to form Ti containing Zr-O cluster nodes, which aggregated and grafted to the Zr-O-Ti bonds on the substrate surface, and reacted with organic ligands (terephthalic acid) to form Zr(Ti)-MOFs film. The Ti 4+ dissolved from the TC4 participate in the Zr-MOFs formation, thereby changing the high temperature and high-pressure conditions required for the traditional preparation of Zr-MOFs (UiO-66). The in situ preparation of Zr(Ti)-MOFs on TC4 was achieved at 80°C under atmospheric pressure conditions. This study elucidated the growth mechanism of Zr(Ti)-MOFs on the TC4 surface, providing a reference for the design and in-situ preparation of multifunctional MOFs on the TC4 titanium alloy.

Tetravalent metal phosphates (M(HPO4)2, M = Zr, Sn, and Ti) have robust layered structures with interlayer d spacings over 7.5 Å, but show poor electrical conductivity. On the other hand, single-atomic-layered reduced graphene oxide (rGO) sheets exhibit a high electrical conductivity. In this work, the combination of rGO and M(HPO4)2 is explored for their potential as anode materials for lithium ion batteries (LIBs). Specifically, rGO/M(HPO4)2 composites are prepared, and their electrochemical performances are investigated systematically. In comparison with bare M(HPO4)2, the rGO/M(HPO4)2 composites exhibit larger specific capacity, higher rate capability, better cyclic stability, lower voltage for lithium ion insertion and extraction, and improved first Coulombic efficiency. We propose that the superior electrochemical performances of the composites are primarily contributed to the large interlayer space of M(HPO4)2 and the rGO sheets cladded on the surfaces of the layered M(HPO4)2. The attached rGO sheets bridge the layers together forming a network that is beneficial for the electron and ion diffusion within the composites, thus enhancing the discharge/charge rate capability of the composites. In addition, the attached rGO sheets provide extra anchoring sites for Li+; the specific capacity of the composites as anode materials is thus enhanced.

V–Ti magnetite tailings (VTMTs) contain various heavy metals , such as Fe, Mn, V, Co, and Ni. The groundwater pollution caused by the tailing metal release has become a local environmental concern. Although studies have demonstrated the influence of alternate flooding and drying cycles (FDCs) on metal form and mobility in minerals, little was known about whether FDCs affect the metal release of VTMTs and the transformation of released metals. This study investigated the metal release kinetics of VTMTs and the metal transformation under FDCs in the absence and presence of acid rain (sulfuric and nitric acids) and bio-secreted organic acids (acetic, oxalic, and citric acids). The results showed that FDCs promoted metal release whether or not acids were present. The maximum released concentrations of V, Mn, Fe, Co, and Ni were as high as 78.63 mg L −1 ,1.47 mg L −1 , 67.96 μg L −1 , 1.34 mg L −1 , and 0.80 mg L −1 , respectively, under FDCs and citric acids . FDCs enhanced the tailing metal release by increasing the metal labile fraction proportion. However, the concentrations of released Fe, Mn, V, Co, and Ni all gradually decreased due to their (co-)precipitation. These precipitates conversely inhibited the subsequent mineral dissolution by covering the tailing surface. FDCs also enhanced the tailings’ porosities by 2.94%–9.94%. The mineral dissolution, expansion and shrinkage, and changes in tension destroyed the tailing microstructure during FDCs. This study demonstrated the low metal pollution risk of VTMTs under FDCs, either in acid rain or bio-secreted organic acids. However, the increase in tailing porosity should be seriously considered as it would affect the tailing pond safety.

Photocathodic protection is a promotion strategy for the corrosion protection of metallic materials, and the selection of photocathodic materials is a critical factor in improving the performance of photocathodic protection of metallic materials. Herein, a Ti-P-V-O composite semiconductor photoelectrode with an adjustable porous structure was prepared by the micro-arc oxidation (MAO) method using titanium alloy (TC 4 ) as the matrix and ammonium metavanadate (NH 4 VO 3 ) as the additive. The photogenerated open circuit potential, instantaneous photocurrent density response value, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and Tafel curve of as-prepared Ti-P-V-O photo-electrodes were measured after coupling with 304SS to clarify the cathodic protection effect for 304 stainless steel (304SS). It is found that the as-prepared Ti-P-V-O coating photoelectrode has a more negative open circuit potential, a more significant photocurrent density response, more effective interface carrier transport ability, lower resistance, lower compounding efficiency of photogenerated electron/hole pairs, and more negative conduction band level, as compared with that of TiO 2 coatings. Moreover, the optimized Ti-P-V-O photoelectrode (Ti-P-V-O&300 V) exhibited the maximum negative shift of the corrosion potential (410 mV vs. SCE) for coupling with 304 stainless steel. This work presents a new strategy for constructing an efficient coating photo-electrode for photocathodic protection of metallic materials.

Background Pure titanium and titanium alloy implants have been widely utilized in dental implantology due to their excellent biocompatibility and favorable elastic modulus. However, the inherent bioinertness of titanium-based implant surfaces often results in suboptimal osseointegration with surrounding bone tissue. Consequently, surface modification is essential to enhance the osseointegrative capacity of titanium implants. Methods We fabricated hydroxyapatite-graphene oxide (HA-GO) coatings via electrochemical deposition and systematically compared four distinct protein loading methods. Ultimately, we developed a hydroxyapatite-graphene oxide/interleukin-4 (Ti@HA-GO@IL-4) coating on pure titanium substrates to investigate its physicochemical properties and biocompatibility. Results The composite coating was successfully fabricated on pure titanium substrates, inducing significant surface modifications including the incorporation of bioactive functional groups, enhanced hydrophilicity, and altered surface morphology. Comparative characterization revealed that the composite coating exhibited superior hydrophilic properties, improved mechanical compatibility with bone tissue, stable Interleukin-4 (IL-4) adsorption and sustained-release behavior, as well as excellent biosafety confirmed by proliferation and adhesion assays using mouse embryo osteoblast precursor (MC3T3-E1) cells, when compared to unmodified titanium controls. Conclusions Ti@HA-GO@IL-4 represents a composite coating material with exceptional physicochemical properties and biological performance. This material demonstrates efficient IL-4 loading capacity and sustained release characteristics, thereby effectively promoting osteogenesis. These findings provide valuable insights for developing bioactive functional materials to enhance implant osseointegration.

NH 2 -MIL-125(Ti) (NM) is a prototypical metal–organic framework (MOF) photocatalyst with visible-light responsiveness. However, its practical application in CO 2 reduction is significantly limited by fast charge carrier recombination and poor product selectivity. Constructing heterojunctions with appropriately matched semiconductors offers an effective strategy to overcome these limitations, where coupling material selection and precise interfacial engineering are key. ZnO, a stable n-type wide-bandgap semiconductor, not only possesses excellent electron mobility but also exhibits suitable conduction band alignment with NM, enabling favorable interfacial charge transfer. Moreover, ZnO can form an interfacial Ti–O–Zn bonding bridge with NM, facilitating directional electron transport and suppressing charge recombination. In this work, we employed atomic layer deposition (ALD) to construct uniform ZnO shells on NM with sub-nanometer precision, thereby finely tuning the ZnO loading and interface structure. A series of ZnO@NH 2 -MIL-125 (ZnO@NM) composites are obtained by controlling the ZnO loading, with the optimal sample showing the highest activity, yielding 13.30 μmol h −1 g −1 of CO and 5.47 μmol h −1 g −1 of CH 4 . Notably, CH 4 selectivity is significantly improved from 16 % to 29 %, and further increases to 31 % under gas-solid conditions. In situ Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations reveal that ZnO not only promotes directional interfacial electron transfer but also facilitates the hydrogenation of *CO to *CHO, thus enhancing CH 4 selectivity. This study demonstrates an ALD-enabled interface engineering strategy to construct MOF-semiconductor heterojunctions, offering mechanistic insights and design principles for advancing efficient and selective photocatalytic systems for carbon dioxide reduction.

The ecological impact linked to hydraulic fracturing, namely with the usage of water and the energy-intensive disposal of flowback fluids, has led to a thorough evaluation of alternative treatment approaches that are more environmentally friendly. The objective of this work was to create coralline-like anatase TiO2/α-Ni(OH)2particles using a hydrothermal approach. The purpose was to improve the efficiency of photocatalysis by increasing the number of oxygen vacancies. An ozone-assisted photocatalytic reaction was used to increase the composite photocatalyst’s degrading efficiency for fracturing flowback fluid. The fracturing flowback fluid’s chemical oxygen demand (COD) degradation efficiency was greatly increased following the introduction of the synergistic treatment system consisting of sedimentation, membrane separation, and ozone photocatalysis. This improvement led to a reduction of 98.42% during a processing time of 90 min, using a Ti/Ni mass ratio of 1:1. This collaborative method partially replaced traditional methods of evaporation concentration and electrochemical degradation, resulting in a 24.18% enhancement compared to individual material catalyst systems. These findings provide crucial insights for improving and optimizing external treatment techniques in shale gas fracturing operations.
