Integrating energetic materials with a microelectromechanical system (MEMS) to achieve miniaturized integrated smart energetic microchips is promising. The potential applications include actuation in lab-on-a-chip devices, ignition in automobile airbags, propulsion and attitude control of micro-/nano-satellites, and miniaturized electro-explosive devices. In this work, a new type of MEMS-compatible energetic arrays was in situ realized on a copper substrate, which comprised a new energetic coordination polymer (ECP; Cu1.5C2N8O2·H2O) with tunable nanostructures and a nano-aluminum (nano-Al) covering layer. The composition, morphology, and energetic characteristics of the energetic arrays can be easily tuned by adjusting the reaction time. The maximum heat release of 1850.2 J/g in thermal analysis and the intense flame in open burning experiment proved its excellent exothermic and combustion performance. A closed-bomb experiment further revealed that the ECP@nano-Al energetic arrays supported on Cu(OH)2 nanorods had a peak pressure (5.5 MPa) and a pressure duration (0.5 s) more than twice those of nanoscale Al/CuO powder because of the introduction of gas elements (e.g., C, H, and N). A preliminary impulse experiment was also conducted through the torsion pendulum method. The displacement of the torsion pendulum in the micrometer scale proved the potential application of the energetic arrays in micropropulsion systems. Overall, this work can serve as a reference for the synthesis and applications of ECPs.

Layered double hydroxides acts as an effective inorganic nano-fire retardant, which is capable of releasing water, carbon dioxide and diluting the concentration of combustible gases when encountering flames, thus providing fire protection. Here, zinc-aluminum layered double hydroxides (Zn-Al/LDH) is uniformly anchored on the reduced graphene oxide (RGO) surface by a simple hydrothermal strategy in order to further enhance the barrier effect of the char layer. The obtained Zn-Al/LDH anchored reduced graphene oxide (Zn-Al/LDH@RGO) hybrids were added to waterborne epoxy resin and their fire resistance properties were measured by large plate combustion test, furnace storage test and thermal weight loss test. The results showed that the incorporation of nano-fillers effectively enhanced the fire resistance of the composite coatings . Among them, Zn-Al/LDH@RGO -based fireproof coatings presented better fire performance due to the active flame retardant mechanism of Zn-Al/LDH and the high barrier property of RGO nanosheets . In contrast, the composite coating with 1.5% of Zn-Al/LDH@RGO hybrids had the lowest backside temperature of 154.3 °C. Besides, the Zn-Al/LDH@RGO/EP (1.5%) coating also exhibited the highest expansion height (16.5 mm), expansion rate (12.13) and the highest char residue rate (32.2%), indicating its highest fire retardant performance.

Solution salinity is critical for the inhibition effect of sodium hexametaphosphate on different mineral surfaces, further affecting the separation of minerals in aqueous solution. In this work, the effect of K + and Ca 2+ on adsorption of sodium hexametaphosphate (SHMP) and hydrophobically modified polyacrylamide , poly(AM-NaAA-C 16 DMAAC) (HMPAM), on alumina surface (i.e., kaolinite Al-OH surface) were investigated using quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM-D). The deposition layer on alumina surface with the effect of adding 1 mM SHMP in 10 mM of CaCl 2 solution were examined by glancing angle X-ray diffraction (GAXRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The 100 mM KCl solution promoted the adsorption of both HMPAM and SHMP on alumina surface, which would be mainly caused by the molecular configuration change. The more flexible and coiled configuration of HMPAM and SHMP in 100 mM KCl solution could be helpful for increasing the adsorption sites on alumina surface. Moreover, the intermolecular hydrophobic interaction between the alkane chains of HMPAM would lead to the multilayer adsorption of HMPAM instead of adsorbing directly onto alumina surface. Alternatively, 1 mM and 10 mM CaCl 2 solutions lead to a lower adsorption amount of HMPAM on alumina surface, which is most likely caused by the suppressed electrostatic attraction and condensed conformation of HMPAM. The adsorption layer of SHMP formed on alumina surface could prevent the adsorption of HMPAM through different mechanisms in KCl and CaCl 2 solutions at different concentrations. Interestingly, scattered micro-spheres were found to adsorb on alumina surface with 1 mM SHMP in 10 mM CaCl 2 solution, mainly in forms of calcium hydrogen phosphate hydrate. Our work provides fundamental insights into the effect of adding dispersant (e.g., SHMP) and polymer flocculant (e.g., HMPAM) during selective flocculation of kaolinite , with helpful guidance for clay-involved mineral processing.

Multifunctional textiles combining ultraviolet protection, thermal insulation and superhydrophobic and aromatic performance were successfully prepared using an aluminum-doped zinc oxide (AZO)-embedded lemon microcapsule and SiO2 dual-layer coating. AZO-loaded lemon microcapsules with average diameter of 1.5 µm were obtained via interfacial polymerization. Results showed that the high concentration of the AZO-embedded lemon microcapsule contributed to enhancing the waterproof property, aromatic performance, and visible and near-infrared light transmittance. The lemon content was up to 2.789 mg/g (weight of essence:weight of fabric). The water contact angle was high at 153.35°, exhibiting an outstanding superhydrophobic performance. The light transmittance decreased as the amount of AZO-embedded lemon microcapsule increased. The ultraviolet protection factor value reached 88.78 when the dosage of the AZO-embedded lemon microcapsule was 6%. Given the above research results, the cotton fabric coated with the AZO-embedded lemon microcapsule and SiO2 dual-layer composite coating would have potential applications in the water/oil purification field and functional protective fabrics.

The development of alternative to silicon carbide (SiC) holds great promise in energy and environmental related catalysis because the harsh preparation process and high cost limit its large-scale application. In this work, the core-shell structured ZnAl 2 O 4 @Al ceramic-metal composites (Zn-Al-T) are prepared from low cost metallic Al powder by a facile and environment-friendly approach to replace silicon carbide for Co-based Fischer-Tropsch synthesis (FTS, a typical strong exothermic heterogeneous catalytic reaction). The composition, thermal conductivity, surface chemical properties and pore configuration of the ZnAl 2 O 4 @Al composites can be easily modulated by controlling the calcination condition. Among Zn-Al-T composites, the Zn-Al-650 and Zn-Al-750 samples demonstrate optimum coupling of physicochemical properties, i.e., robust chemical stability, meso -macropore structure (wide mesopore and high macroporosity) and high thermal conductivity. Thus, the excellent FT performance (low CH 4 selectivity and high selectivity to C 5+ ) was obtained on the Co/Zn-Al-650 and Co/Zn-Al-750 catalysts. The heat transfer experiments were conducted on a special tubular fixed-bed reactor (I.D. = 22 mm) under near-industrial conditions. At similar reaction rates, the effective radial thermal conductivity coefficient (k eaff ) in the Co/Zn-Al-650 catalyst bed is 3–4 times and 1–2 times that in the Co/Al 2 O 3 and Co/SiC catalyst beds respectively, resulting in a more uniform temperature distribution in Co/Zn-Al-650 catalyst bed. In addition, the ZnAl 2 O 4 @Al composite has wide application prospect in strong exothermic/endothermic catalytic system owing to its high thermal conductivity, adjustable physico-chemical properties, facile preparation method and low cost.

N egative temperature coefficient (NTC) ceramics based on simple ZnO were prepared and investigated in present work, where slight amount of Al- and La- ions were added as semiconductor dopants, and Cu-ions were selected as the sintering agent and property modificator. All the prepared ZnO-based ceramics have a wurtzite structure and show typical NTC characteristic. For various contents of Al-, La- and Cu- ions in ZnO-based ceramics, ρ 25 can be adjusted from 0.65 kΩ cm to 3.28 MΩ cm, and B values were obtained in range of 2500 K to 5850 K. The ageing treatment at 125 °C for 600 h in air revealed that the ZnO-based ceramics have high thermal stability with the resistance shift < 2%.

Recently, there is an urgent demand to remove oil and organic solvents with low surface tension from oily wastewater, which promotes the application of interface biomimetic materials in oil/water separation. In our work, a novel Ni Al LDHs coated superhydrophobic and superoleophilic stainless steel mesh (SS-SSM) with efficient oil/water separation performance was successfully prepared. The 3D flower-like structure intercalated by LDHs monocrystalline flakes was anchored on metallic wires in urea solution by a hydrothermal method and decorated with low surface energy molecules. The as-prepared mesh exhibited perfect superhydrophobicity with water contact angle of 156° and sliding angle of 5°, thus achieving self-cleaning property. In addition, the separation efficiency for a series of oil/water mixtures of the coated mesh was studied, which was up to 98% for most sample oils. More importantly, even treated under severer conditions such as ultrasonic , abrasion and chemical etching solution, the as-prepared meshes possessed good reproducibility in terms of contact angles and separation efficiencies. It is expected that the designed mesh could provide a b brand-new method for superhydrophobic surface coating , making it a potential functional material for self-cleaning, anti-corrosion, fluid drag reduction and oil/water separation.

NiCo 2 O 4 has been selected as an oxidizer to realize the nanothermite film for the first time in this study. The NiCo 2 O 4 /Al core-shell nanowires (NWs) thermite film has been fabricated using a facile hydrothermal-annealing synthesis method and a controllable magnetron sputtering process. The as-obtained NiCo 2 O 4 /Al NWs thermite film shows a uniform structure and distribution on the substrate, with a favorable interfacial contact between the bimetallic oxide and the fuel at the nanoscale . It is found that the quantity of Al plays a key role in the total heat release magnitude. The maximal heat release of the NiCo 2 O 4 /Al nanothermite film has reached 2076.0 J/g at the optimal Al deposited thickness of 450 nm with the obtained optimum Al/NiCo 2 O 4 molar ratio of 4.9. Moreover, this design strategy is highly compatible with microelectromechanical systems (MEMs) and it can be applied to realize other nanothermites composed by bimetallic oxide and fuel.

The hydrophilicity and flammability of fiberboards have limited their real-life applications. In this study, a facile strategy for preparing the multifunctional coatings with superhydrophobicity and flame retardancy on medium density fiberboards (MDFs) has been investigated. The superhydrophobic and flame-retardant coating on the MDF surface was obtained by depositing polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) and 1H, 1H, 2H, 2H-perfluorodecyltrichlorosilane (FDTS)-modified Mg/Al layered double hydroxide (LDH) particles step by step. The as-prepared coating exhibited superhydrophobic properties with a water contact angle (WCA) of ~155° and good self-cleaning properties. Furthermore, the limiting oxygen index (LOI) value of the superhydrophobic MDFs increased by 60.4% as compared to that of the pristine MDFs, showing improved flame retardancy. The peak heat release rate (PHRR) and total heat release (THR) of MDFs decreased after coating with PDMS@FDTS-Mg/Al LDH, suggesting that the superhydrophobic coating decreased the fire growth speed and risk of fire hazard of MDFs. This coating with multiple functions opens a new avenue for the protection and functionalization of MDFs.Keywords:medium density fiberboard;Mg/Al LDH;FDTS;superhydrophobicity;flame retardancy

Hexachlorobenzene (HCB) contamination of soils remains a significant environmental challenge all over the world. Reductive stabilization is a developing technology that can decompose the HCB with a dechlorination process. A nanometallic Al/CaO (n-Al/CaO) dispersion mixture was developed utilizing ball-milling technology in this study. The dechlorination efficiency of HCB in contaminated soils by the n-Al/CaO grinding treatment was evaluated. Response surface methodology (RSM) was employed to investigate the effects of three variables (soil moisture content, n-Al/CaO dosage and grinding time) and the interactions between these variables under the Box-Behnken Design (BBD). A high regression coefficient value (R2= 0.9807) and lowpvalue (<0.0001) of the quadratic model indicated that the model was accurate in predicting the experimental results. The optimal soil moisture content, n-Al/CaO dosage, and grinding time were found to be 7% (m/m), 17.7% (m/m), and 24 h, respectively, in the experimental ranges and levels. Under optimal conditions, the dechlorination efficiency was 80%. The intermediate product analysis indicated that dechlorination was the process by stepwise loss of chloride atoms. The main pathway observed within 24 h was HCB → pentachlorobenzene (PeCB) → 1,2,3,4-tetrachlorobenzene (TeCB) and 1,2,4,5-TeCB. The results indicated that the moderate soil moisture content was crucial for the hydrodechlorination of HCB. A probable mechanism was proposed wherein water acted like a hydrogen donor and promoted the hydrodechlorination process. The potential application of n-Al/CaO is an environmentally-friendly and cost-effective option for decontamination of HCB-contaminated soils.Keywords:nanometallic Al/CaO;ball milling;dechlorination;response surface methodology
