To reduce the coke formation, a novel Al/Si/Cr/Ce composite ceramic coating was prepared on the surface of the Cr 25 Ni 35 Nb alloy substrate by pack cementation. The microstructure, phase composition, surface morphology and element distribution of substrate and coating were characterized by X-ray diffractometer (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). The results reveal that the outer layer of the coating forms a protective layer with a high proportion of AlN and Cr 3 Si and trace amounts of Ce. The inter-diffusion layer is mainly aluminide coating (AlNi and AlFe) and transition layer contains a small amount of AlN. The anti-coking performance of the coating was assessed using naphtha steam cracking. To study coking behavior, the morphology and microstructure of the coke layer were analyzed and characterized by SEM and Laser Micro-Raman Spectrometer. The coke layer on uncoated sample has a higher focal density and is more likely to spall and peel off when subjected to coking experiment. A large number of filamentous and granular cokes appear on the surface of the uncoated sample, whereas only less granular cokes appear on the surface of the coated sample, and the coke on the uncoated sample has a more disordered and amorphous carbon structure. The coating significantly inhibited the growth of filamentous coke and reduced coke accumulation.

Transition metals with 3d unoccupied orbitals have superior catalytic activity, but inherent high spin suppresses their adsorption capability, leading to sluggish polysulfide conversion kinetics for Li–S batteries. Herein, we provide Fe–O–Si bridge bonds to manipulate eg filling and induce a high-to-medium spin transition of Fe3+ sites, which enhances polysulfide adsorption and facilitates sulfur redox reaction kinetics. The resultant cathodes exhibit outstanding performances under high sulfur loading, which can deliver a high battery specific energy of 1061 mA h·g–1 even after 100 cycles in Li–S pouch batteries. This work provides new insights into the kinetic and multi-step conversion mechanism of the sulfur redox reaction process, helping in the understanding and design of spin-dependent catalysts.

A novel SiC–Si coating with a high amount of net-like distributed Si was fabricated on the graphite substrate by liquid silicon infiltration (LSI) method to improve the oxidation-resistant performance. The mass gain of this LSI coating after 300 h oxidation at 1873 K was only 3.018%, suggesting an excellent static antioxidant property at 1873 K. The detailed oxidation mechanism of this LSI coating was explored in this work. It was found that the high amount of Si with the net-like distribution in this LSI coating promoted the passivation growth of SiO 2 glass layer and prevented the SiO 2 glass from crystallizing into cristobalite. In addition, the Si in this coating retarded the active oxidation and enhanced the coating stability. In contrast, the infiltration (VSI) SiC–Si coating presented an apparent mass loss, and the pack cementation (PC) SiC coating showed the catastrophic failure. The oxidation mechanisms of these two coatings were also discussed against the backdrop of the LSI coating with high antioxidant performance.

Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is characterized by pathological angiogenesis, inflammation, and retinal neurodegeneration, leading to vision loss. Current therapies, such as anti-VEGF agents, face challenges of low bioavailability and frequent invasive injections. Connexin43 (Cx43), a gap junction protein, plays a key role in DR progression through its modulation of inflammation and vascular dysfunction. A thermosensitive hydrogel composite was developed to encapsulate siRNA targeting Cx43 (si-Cx43) nanoparticles (NPs) and anti-VEGF (Avastin). The hydrogel was characterized for gelation, injectability, and degradation. In vitro studies evaluated the cytotoxicity, anti-angiogenic effects, and permeability regulation in hyperglycemic retinal cells under hyperglycemic conditions. In vivo therapeutic efficacy was assessed in a diabetic retinopathy rat model. si-Cx43-NPs demonstrated high siRNA encapsulation efficiency and stability, effectively silencing Cx43 expression in retinal endothelial cells. The hydrogel exhibited excellent injectability, temperature-sensitive gelation, and controlled degradation. In vitro, si-Cx43-NPs@Avastin-hydrogel significantly suppressed VEGF expression, reduced angiogenesis, and restored cell permeability under hyperglycemic conditions. In vivo , the hydrogel composite reduced neovascularization, inflammation, and apoptosis, restoring retinal structure and function more effectively than either single-agent treatment alone. Biocompatibility studies confirmed minimal toxicity and favorable degradation. The si-Cx43-NPs@Avastin-hydrogel provides a synergistic and minimally invasive therapeutic strategy for DR by targeting angiogenesis, inflammation, and neuroprotection with sustained drug delivery.

The silicone thermoplastic elastomer is highly attractive in various areas for good mechanical strength and aging resistance. However, its intrinsically high flammability limits its practical applications. Meanwhile, as a typical polymer material, its irreversible cross-linking structure makes it difficult to recycle and reprocess; a great deal of discarded silicone materials can pose a waste of resources and environmental problems. Herein, it is of great significance to prepare an intrinsic flame retardant (FR) and reprocessable silicone polyurethane (STPU). In this study, we introduce phosphorus-containing compounds (MDP) and a dynamic phenylborate ester (HDPM) bond into traditional silicone’s molecular chain structure by in situ polymerization method, which endows the material with excellent flame retardance and reprocessing properties, respectively. The resulting STPU shows a limited oxygen index (LOI) value of 26.1% and reaches at VTM-0 rating. Furthermore, by regulating the decomposition and reconstruction of the phenylborate ester structure, STPU remain the initial tensile strength and keep 87.58% of tensile strain after twice reprocessing. This high-performance sustainable STPU materials hold great promise for fire safety behavior and reutilization in practical application.

As green renewable resources, wood and its composites are widely used in the construction field, which puts forward higher requirements for their flame-retardant performance. In this study, a high-temperature hydrothermal crystallization method for in situ constructing an epoxy crosslinked Si–Al zeolite-like structural wood composite (W ZLC ) was reported. Under the action of amine guiding agents and epoxy resin, the zeolite-like catalytic structure constructed in poplar wood comprised negative electrocatalytic sites, which can efficiently catalyze the formation of the carbon layer and endow W ZLC with excellent flame retardant, smoke-suppression, and self-extinguishing properties. Compared with the untreated wood (W N ), the thermal stability of the treated wood (W ZLC ) was greatly improved, and the amount of volatile organic compounds released during the decomposition process was significantly reduced. The heat release rate, total heat release, smoke production rate, and total smoke production of W ZLC1 decreased by 50.23%, 44.14%, 45.21%, and 28.46%, respectively. Particularly, CO and CO 2 yields of W ZLC significantly decreased by 92.26% and 92.02%, respectively, indicating that the Si–Al zeolite-like catalytic structure displayed excellent catalytic flame retardant properties, which can effectively decrease the thermal decomposition rate and combustion risk of the W ZLC . This method uses less flame retardants to achieve a good flame retardant and smoke suppression effect, thereby reducing the risk of environmental pollution caused by too many flame retardants.

Mg 1+ x Co 1− x SiO 4 ( x = 0–0.2) microwave dielectric ceramics were prepared via a solid-phase reaction method. X-ray diffraction (XRD) data revealed a single-phase structure for these ceramics, with no phase changes with increasing Mg content, and Mg 1+ x Co 1− x SiO 4 ( x = 0–0.2) possessed an olivine structure. X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns were refined via the Rietveld method to obtain crystal structure information. P–V–L bond theory was applied to analyze the crystal structure changes. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images highlighted a dense and uniform surface grain distribution with scarce pores. Raman spectroscopy was employed to characterize the impact of lattice vibrations on the Q×f factor. Excellent microwave dielectric properties were exhibited by the MgCoSiO 4 ceramics sintered at 1250 °C for 4 h (ε r = 7.17, Q×f = 46120 GHz, and τ f = −61.7 ppm/°C) and the Mg 1+ x Co 1− x SiO 4 ( x = 0.05–0.2) ceramics sintered at 1400 °C (ε r = 6.9, Q×f = 118575 GHz, and τ f = −47.7 ppm/°C).

The control of multiple heavy metals (HMs) pollution in solid wastes, especially the co-contamination of As and other heavy metal cations, is of great importance to ecological and environmental health. To address this problem, the preparation and application of multifunctional materials have attracted wide attention. In this work, a novel Ca-Fe-Si-S composite (CFSS) was applied to stabilize As, Zn, Cu, and Cd in acid arsenic slag (ASS). The CFSS exhibited synchronous stabilization ability for As, Zn, Cu, Cd and owned strong acid neutralization capacity. Under simulated field conditions, the acid rain extracted HMs in ASS successfully decreased below the emission standard (GB 3838–2002-IV category in China) after incubated by 5% CFSS for 90 days. Meanwhile, the application of CFSS promoted the transformation of leachable HMs into less accessible forms, which was conductive to the long-term stabilization for HMs. There was competitive relation among the three heavy metal cations, following the stabilization sequence of Cu > Zn > Cd during incubation. And the stabilization mechanisms of HMs by CFSS were proposed as chemical precipitation, surface complexation, and ion/anion exchange. The research will be greatly conducive to the remediation and governance of field multiple HMs contaminated sites.

Graphene is the strongest material ever identified. However, the fabrication of graphene-based bulk materials from graphene powders presents a significant challenge. Here, a new strategy to fabricate high performance graphene based bulk materials by introducing silicon nanoparticle is proposed. Consequently, ultra-high compressive strength and high flexural strength are achieved, measuring as high as 1102 MPa and 455 MPa, respectively. The compressive strength at the microscale even reaches a remarkable 5.17 GPa. The superior strength of the bulk material is primarily attributed to the Y-type carbon structure and Si-C bonds. The Y-type carbon structures in graphene, produced by the self-propagating high-temperature synthesis (SHS) method, and the Si-C covalent bonds formed at the interface between graphene and SiC contribute to a tight linkage of graphene sheets , thereby preventing slippage of graphene sheets. In addition, the microstructure evolution process of Si-SHS-graphene bulk material is clarified. With the introduction of silicon nanoparticles, the oxidation resistance of graphene based bulk materials is substantially improved, the weight loss is around 6% after oxidized at 1000 °C. This study carries extensive implications for understanding the impact of Y-type carbon structures and the effect of Si-C bonds in graphene-based bulk materials.

In this work, a novel Ca-Fe-Si-S composite was prepared from thermal desorption residue through FeSO 4 impregnation-pyrolysis. The characteristics and modification process of the composite were specified through a series of analytical methods. And stabilization experiments were conducted to investigate the performance of prepared materials. The optimal Ca–Fe–Si–S composite was obtained at impregnation ratio of 10%, pyrolysis temperature of 900℃ and pyrolysis time of 60 min. The modification process included the dissolution of calcium hydroxide, the formation of gypsum and ferrous silicate, the dehydration of gypsum, the reduction decomposition of calcium sulfate, the decomposition of calcium carbonate and the solid reaction at high temperature. The obtained optimal Ca–Fe–Si–S composite was a multifunctional material mainly composed of high contents of Ca, Fe, Si, S, which corresponding to FeS, CaS, Ca 2 SiO 4 , Ca 3 Al 2 (SiO 4 ) 3 , Ca 3 Fe 2 (SiO 4 ) 3 , Ca 5 (SiO 4 ) 2 SO 4 . The application of 5% optimal Ca–Fe–Si–S composite successfully lowed the leaching concentrations of As, Zn, Cu, Cd in arsenic slag to meet the discharging standard. Meanwhile, the non-specifically bound and specifically bound of As totally decreased by 3.72%, and the acid extractable species of Zn, Cu, Cd reduced by 11.20%, 29.37%, 2.76% respectively. The distribution of stable species for heavy metals significantly increased as united results of surface complexation, chemical precipitation and ion/anion exchange reactions between the prepared composite and heavy metals. The findings of this research provide an effective material for the simultaneous stabilization of multiple heavy metals.

The determination of vitamin B6 (VB6) in food, health products, and pharmaceuticals is of great significance because it plays a crucial role in maintaining health and is a necessary condition for dietary intake. Therefore, the study uses L-Histidine, citric acid, potassium permanganate, and tetraethyl silicate as carbon source and Mn, Si source to prepare Mn, Si-CQDs by a hydrothermal method. The characteristics of the Mn,Si-CQDs are studied by TEM, XPS, FTIR, XRD, and UV-vis spectrum, Mn,Si-CQDs are spherical and well dispersed in aqueous solution, with an average particle size of 5 nm. The effect of different pH and storage time on the fluorescence intensity of Mn, Si-CQDs indicates that Mn, Si-CQDs have good fluorescence stability. The fluorescence of Mn, Si-CQDs can be selectively quenched by VB6 without being affected by interfering other substances, within the range of 0.05-20 μg/mL, The quenching degree ratio of Mn, Si-CQDs , F 0 /F, shows a good linear relationship with the concentration of VB6 (F 0 /F=0.19311+0.03723C (R 2 =0.99882)), with a detection limit of 0.037 μg/mL. The recovery rates were 94.21∼98.80% by the spiked recovery experiments, indicating the high sensitivity and selectivity of the Mn,Si-CQDs . During the antibacterial test, the Mn,Si-CQDs exhibite good antibacterial effects on Staphylococcus aureus, Penicillium, Escherichia coli and Saccharomyces cerevisiae .

As the anode material of lithium-ion battery, silicon-based materials have a high theoretical capacity, but their volume changes greatly in the charging and discharging process. To ameliorate the volume expansion issue of silicon-based anode materials, g-C 3 N 4 /Si nanocomposites are prepared by using the magnesium thermal reduction technique. It is well known that g-C 3 N 4 /Si nanocomposites can not only improve the electronic transmission ability, but also ameliorate the physical properties of the material for adapting the stress and strain caused by the volume expansion of silicon in the lithiation and delithiation process. When g-C 3 N 4 /Si electrode is evaluated, the initial discharge capacity of g-C 3 N 4 /Si nanocomposites is as high as 1033.3 mAh/g at 0.1 A/g, and its reversible capacity is maintained at 548 mAh/g after 400 cycles. Meanwhile, the improved rate capability is achieved with a relatively high reversible specific capacity of 218 mAh/g at 2.0 A/g. The superior lithium storage performances benefit from the unique g-C 3 N 4 /Si nanostructure, which improves electroconductivity, reduces volume expansion, and accelerates lithium-ion transmission compared to pure silicon.
