A series of PtCuCeMgAl quintuple hydrotalcite-like compounds with different Ce contents were synthesized by one-pot method. After calcining and reduction, CeO 2 -modified Mg(Al)O-supported Pt–Cu alloy catalysts were obtained. To understand the effect of Cu and Ce, the structure and physico-chemistry properties of the catalysts were characterized and analyzed, and the catalytic behaviors were investigated in a direct dehydrogenation of propane to propene. The results show that the Pt 4+ , Cu 2+ , and Ce 3+ ions can be incorporated into the brucite-like layers and the Ce content significantly affects the interaction strength between Pt and Cu and the dehydrogenation performance of propane. Under the reaction conditions, the highest propane conversion (45%) with 89% selectivity to propene and a 40% propene yield were achieved with a 0.3 wt% Ce-modified PtCu/Mg(Al)O catalyst. The improved catalytic performance is related to the easy formation of Pt–Cu alloy phase, excellent resistance to sintering, and coke deposits of active components modified by CeO 2 .

Ferroan brucite with different Fe 2+ doping amounts (Mg 1-X Fe X (OH) 2 , x = 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.7 and 0.8) was synthesized for the removal of Congo red (CR) from wastewater. As the Fe 2+ content increased, the removal efficiency initially increased and then decreased, and Mg 0.6 Fe 0.4 (OH) 2 exhibited the maximum removal amount which was 2745.96 mg/g. The high removal ability of Mg 0.6 Fe 0.4 (OH) 2 was derived from the combined removal mechanism. The removal amount of CR was highly related to the amount of Fe 2+ in MgFe(OH) 2 and its existed state. The removal behaviors of M 0.7 Fe 0.3 (OH) 2 (M = Zn, Ni, Co) were also conducted to verify the function and university of Fe 2+ in the degradation process. The influence of M 2+ in M 0.7 Fe 0.3 (OH) 2 (M = Zn, Ni, Co) on the removal efficiency was explored by experimental study and calculation of the system energy and bond length change based on molecular simulation. This work provided an outstanding approach for preparation of high efficiency materials to purify organic wastewater. Graphical Abstract

The Li-Mg-B-H composite (2LiBH 4 + MgH 2 ) is acknowledged as a promising material for hydrogen storage due to its large hydrogen capacity (11.4 wt.%). However, the sluggish kinetics and poor reversibility make it difficult to be practically used. In this work, the hydrogen storage performances of 2LiBH 4 + MgH 2 have been significantly improved by a hybrid of bulk NbC and layered Nb 4 C 3 MXene (denoted as “Nb-C”). The 2LiBH 4 + MgH 2 + 6 wt.% Nb-C can release 8.5 wt.% H 2 within 30 min at 400°C and the dehydrogenated composite can absorb 9.3 wt.% H 2 within 30 min at 350°C and 7.5 MPa H 2 . The reversible dehydrogenation capacity maintains at 8.4 wt.% after 24 cycles, with a capacity retention ratio of 95.4%. By contrast, the undoped 2LiBH 4 + MgH 2 suffers from serious capacity degradation, with the capacity decreased dramatically to 3.5 wt.% after 3 cycles. Microstructural studies revealed that the doped composite has uniform particle and elemental distributions and possesses various multiphase interfaces of LiH/MgB 2 /NbC/Nb 4 C 3 , which is beneficial to hydrogen diffusion during the hydrogen uptake and release process. Theoretical studies by first principle calculation presented an extended bond length of the Mg-H and B-H bonds in the 2LiBH 4 + MgH 2 + NbC system, which may also explain the improved hydrogen storage properties of 2LiBH 4 + MgH 2 by addition of Nb-C. This work provides new insights into the role of transition metal carbides in regulating the Li-Mg-B-H hydrogen storage materials both experimentally and theoretically.

The design of environmentally friendly flame retardants to achieve the balanced flame retardancy and mechanical properties of poly(L-lactic acid) (PLA) is a critical challenge. Herein, inspired by the micropapillae adorned with hydrophobic wax crystals structure of lotus leaf, Mg(OH) 2 /Co-MOF/DOPO hybrids (MH@MOF- g -DOPO) were successfully constructed through in-situ growth of Co-MOF and chemical grafting of DOPO. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) revealed that the Co-MOF content in MH@MOF was approximately 27.3 wt%, while the grafted DOPO in MH@MOF- g -DOPO was about 19.5 wt%. Owing to the unique microstructure, the water contact angle of MH@MOF- g -DOPO reached to 113.7°, implying its hydrophobic surface. Subsequently, the as-synthesized MH@MOF- g -DOPO was used to prepare PLA composites, which exhibited significantly improved flame retardancy, as indicated by the LOI value of 30.2 %, UL-94 V0 rating, and the reduction on PHRR by 70.1 %. The flame retardant mechanism was attributed to the synergistic effects of multiple flame retardant units (MH, Co-MOF and P) in MH@MOF- g -DOPO hybrids. Furthermore, the flame retarded PLA/20MH@MOF- g -DOPO achieved the brittle-tough transformation via uniaxial pre-stretch process, thus displayed outstanding mechanical properties (good stiffness and excellent toughness). Notably, compared to the pristine undraw PLA, the Youngꞌs modulus, tensile strength and the elongation at break PLA/20MH@MOF- g -DOPO increased by 35 %, 38 % and 1957 %, respectively. This work proposes an innovative and efficient method to achieve the excellent balance on flame retardancy and mechanical properties of PLA composites, benefiting to promoting their real-world applications as functional polymer materials.

As one typically sustainable polymer material, poly(butylene succinate) (PBS) is highly necessary to improve its flame retardancy and simultaneously maintain satisfied mechanical performances. In this study, “three-in-one” novel flame retardant was synthesized through grafting organophosphorus onto Fe-MOF functionalized Mg(OH) 2 (labeled as MH@Fe-MOF-P), then it was introduced into PBS matrix to investigate its effect on flame retardancy and mechanical properties. The results indicated that PBS/20MH@Fe-MOF-P exhibited excellent flame retardancy, including that the LOI was 29.6%, the UL-94 rating reached to V0, and the peak of heat release rate (PHRR) decreased by 82.1%. The flame retardant mechanism was ascribed to the synergistic effect of Mg(OH) 2 , Fe-MOF and organophosphorus on delaying the decomposition and catalyzing the carbonization of PBS. Meanwhile, PBS/20MH@Fe-MOF-P presented better mechanical performances than PBS/20MH and PBS/20MH@Fe-MOF composites, resulting from the special structure of MH@Fe-MOF-P to achieve good dispersion of fillers and strong polymer-filler interface adhesion. This work provides a novel strategy to modify Mg(OH) 2 with high flame retardant efficiency, and also broadens the practical applications of PBS materials with balanced comprehensive performances.

The development of the new generation of smart near infrared (NIR) light sources is a problem demanding prompt solution with the increasing role of NIR spectroscopy in security, food, medical treatment, agriculture, and other fields. In this work, Cr 3+ doped ANb 2 O 6 (A = Zn/Mg) phosphors are successfully developed, which generate a NIR emission with a peak at 930 nm covering 750–1300 nm under excitation of 515 nm light. Thanks to the small Stokes shift, the internal quantum efficiency (IQE) values of the optimal samples of ZnNb 2 O 6 :Cr 3+ and MgNb 2 O 6 :Cr 3+ reach up to 70% and 62%, respectively. This ultra-broadband NIR emission originates from the simultaneous occupation of [AO 6 ] and [NbO 6 ] octahedrons by Cr 3+ , which is confirmed by the excitation wavelength-dependent emission spectra, low-temperature photoluminescence spectra (77 K), time-resolved photoluminescence (TRPL) spectra, and density functional theory (DFT) calculation. The thermal quenching mechanism of ANb 2 O 6 :Cr 3+ (A = Zn/Mg) is revealed from the aspects of thermal cross and thermal ionization. Benefiting from the excellent performance of ANb 2 O 6 :Cr 3+ (A = Zn / Mg) NIR phosphors, the combination of 520 nm LED chips, and as-prepared phosphors demonstrate the dramatic potential applications in night vision, non-destructive testing, biological tissue imaging, and spectral analysis.

Abstract A modified polyacrylamide gel route with urea used as fuel was used to synthesize the MFe 2 O 4 (M = Mg, Ca, Ba) iron oxides with high adsorption capacity for removal of Cd(II) from water treatment. The phase structure, functional group, porous structure and adsorption performance of MFe 2 O 4 (M = Mg, Ca, Ba) iron oxides were characterized by X-ray-diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscope (SEM), N 2 adsorption–desorption isotherm and 721 spectrophotometer. The result indicates that the phase forming temperature of MFe 2 O 4 , the content of carbonate ion in MFe 2 O 4 increases with the increasing of the radius of M-site metal ion. The E g value, BET surface area and adsorption capacity for removal of Cd(II) from water treatment decreases with the increasing of the radius of M-site metal ion. The experimental isotherm of MFe 2 O 4 (M = Mg, Ca, Ba) iron oxides were described by the Langmuir model. MgFe 2 O 4 iron oxide exhibits a best adsorption performance for removal of Cd(II) from water treatment by the adsorption process, with a maximum adsorption capacity of ca. 221.36 mg/g than that of other iron oxides. The present synthetic route could be possibly extended to synthesize other porous metal oxide materials with special porous structures for various applications.

Artemia egg shell loaded with nano-magnesium (shell-Mg) can be used to recover phosphorus from wastewater. The exhausted Artemia egg shell-Mg (denoted as shell-Mg-P) can be used as a slow-release fertilizer for phosphorus reuse. However, due to the coexistence of heavy metal ions in the environment, the application of slow-release fertilizer for phosphorus removal and reuse may have potential risks. In this paper, the potential risks of Pb 2+ , Cd 2+ , Zn 2+ and Cu 2+ in phosphorus wastewater and soil were studied from the formation and application process of shell-Mg-P. The result showed that shell-Mg adsorbed Pb 2+ , Cd 2+ , Zn 2+ and Cu 2+ in phosphate wastewater during the formation of shell-Mg-P and became shell-Mg-P-metal hybrid biomaterial . Although the experiment proved that the existence of heavy metal ions did not affect the phosphorus slow-release behavior of slow-release fertilizer, but the heavy metal ions in the shell-Mg-P-metal were also slow released. The pot experiment results confirmed that the slow-release phosphorus fertilizers (shell-Mg-P and shell-Mg-P-metal) in the soil polluted in low concentration of heavy metals can reduce the amount of heavy metals in whole wheat seedlings and promote wheat seedling growth. However, the application of slow-release fertilizers increased the translocation efficiency (T FR to SL ) of metal from root (R) to aboveground part (stem and leaves, SL), promoted the transportation of heavy metals from roots to the stems and leaves, and increased the safety risk of the wheat seedling edible. Therefore, besides the positive role of slow-release fertilizers in retaining heavy metals and reducing the amount of heavy metals in whole seedlings, the risk that it may aggravate the translocation of heavy metals to stems and leaves should be paid more attention, so as to ensure the safe and reliable application of slow-release fertilizers.

A novel physically blended polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) and polyacrylic acid (PAA) composite binder enhanced LiMn 2 O 4 /C (carbon black) film based electrode was successfully fabricated, and applied in an electrochemically switched ion exchange (ESIX) process for selective extraction of Li + from high Mg/Li ratio brine. The multifunctional composite binder system enabled the obtained LiMn 2 O 4 /C/PVDF- b -PAA film coated electrode to exhibit superior mechanical, hydrophilic and electrochemical properties compared with the LiMn 2 O 4 /C/PVDF film coated electrode. Based on the density functional theory (DFT) calculations, the ion exchange interaction between H + of –COOH groups in PAA and Li + facilitated the transport of Li + at the electrode interface, which enhanced lithium extraction performance of the film coated electrode. For treating the simulated brine (Mg/Li: ∼500), the intercalation capacity of Li + was about 15.1 mg g −1 , and the total extraction efficiency of lithium reached up to 62.8% after two electrochemical intercalation tests. Moreover, the film coated electrode displayed excellent selectivity towards Li + ions even in pre-treated actual brine (Mg/Li: ∼292.2). The Mg/Li mass ratio in the recovery solution could decrease to 0.46, and the calculated Li + /Mg 2+ separation coefficient reached as high as 631.08. In particular, the highly stable and scalable electroactive film could be prepared effectively, thus increasing its applicability. It is expected that such a LiMn 2 O 4 /C/PVDF- b -PAA film coated electrode could be a promising candidate for the selective extraction of Li + from high Mg/Li mass ratio brines.

In-situ assembly and pyrolysis axially coordinate S to first sphere of Fe in Fe/S-NC. • Axial S induces the charge asymmetry of Fe–N 4 in Fe/S-NC via electronic modulation. • Lowered d-band center via symmetry breaking optimizes ORR intermediate adsorption. • Mg-air and Zn-air batteries with the Fe/S-NC catalyst exhibit superior performance. Developing efficient electrocatalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is essential to boosting the practical performance of Mg-air and Zn-air batteries. However, conventional non-precious Fe-N-C catalysts, with their planar Fe–N 4 sites, exhibit overly strong adsorption toward oxygenated intermediates and thus severely limit their catalytic kinetics. In this study, we report an Fe/S-NC catalyst based on an iron phthalocyanine (FePc) framework, in which a single sulfur atom is axially coordinated directly to the iron site in the first sphere. The resulting asymmetric Fe–N 4 S 1 motif breaks geometric and electronic symmetry of the iron center and thereby accelerates ORR kinetics. Theoretical calculations reveal that electronic reconstruction induced by the axial sulfur effectively optimizes the d-band center of the iron site and weakens the binding strength toward oxygenated intermediates, thus significantly reducing the energy barrier and enhancing the adsorption-desorption thermodynamics. Benefiting from this well-defined structure, the Fe/S-NC catalyst delivers half-wave potentials of 0.88 and 0.63 V (vs. RHE) in 0.1 M KOH and 3.5 wt% NaCl, respectively, and outperforms commercial Pt/C when applied in Mg-air and Zn-air batteries. This work elucidates how electronic asymmetry boosts catalytic performance and provides theoretical guidance for designing high-performance ORR catalysts. Axially coordinated sulfur atoms induce an asymmetric charge distribution at the Fe–N 4 active sites via electronic modulation. This symmetry breaking downshifts the d-band center and refines the adsorption equilibrium of oxygenated intermediates, thereby significantly accelerating the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) kinetics and enhancing catalyst stability in both alkaline and neutral environments.

Carbon capture utilization and storage for reducing anthropogenic CO 2 emissions involve capturing CO 2 from industrial sources and injecting it into geological sinks such as oil reservoirs and depleted gas fields. To ensure environmental and public safety during carbon sequestration implementation, efficient CO 2 monitoring technologies must be developed to detect potential leaks at sequestration sites. Traditional CO 2 sensors used for monitoring these sites typically feature high costs and require specialized personnel for maintenance. This paper innovatively employs an immersion method to construct a surface acoustic wave (SAW) CO 2 sensor based on a polyethyleneimine-coated magnesium metal-organic framework (PEI@Mg-MOF-74) nanocomposite film. The PEI@Mg-MOF-74 SAW sensor exhibits ultra-high sensitivity across a CO 2 concentration range of 500–6000 ppm, with rapid response and recovery times of 11 s/6 s. Additionally, the sensor demonstrates excellent repeatability, selectivity, and long-term stability. Simultaneously, a graphene oxide/ Carboxymethyl Cellulose surface acoustic wave (SAW) humidity sensor was developed to address humidity-related issues. It exhibits ultra-high sensitivity of 14.29 kHz/% RH across a relative humidity range of 11–97% RH, coupled with rapid response and recovery times of 4 s/5 s. The SAW-based CO 2 sensor incorporates humidity compensation through the CSA-AdamW-CapsNet algorithm, and a wireless testing system based on the microcontroller was developed to enable wireless CO 2 and relative humidity measurement. This research provides theoretical foundations and technical prototypes for developing next-generation passive wireless smart sensing systems, holding significant application value in fields such as carbon dioxide capture and sequestration.

Electrically Switched Ion Exchange (ESIX) technology boasts advantages of high selectivity, low energy consumption, and environmental friendliness, and its core material, LiMn 2 O 4 , can efficiently separate lithium through unique lattice sieving and charge matching effect, yet it suffers from severe performance degradation in brine environments with ultra-high Mg/Li ratio. Currently, the microscopic mechanism responsible for this degradation remains unclear. In this study, we propose a “confined-capture-induced blocking” mechanism using experimental investigations, characterization techniques, and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Specifically, the strong Coulomb interaction between high-charge-density Mg 2+ and the O atoms at the entrances of the [111] channels (the Li + migration channels) of LiMn 2 O 4 results in blockage of the channel entrances, thereby blocking the intercalation of Li + . Based on this mechanism, we propose a targeted solution: adopting a dynamic adsorption mode with solution flow. This approach effectively mitigates the adverse effects of Li + concentration polarization and Mg 2+ enrichment near the electrode, which lead to an abnormally high Mg/Li ratio in static adsorption, thereby enhancing the adsorption capacity from 1.437 mg/g in static adsorption to 5.124 mg/g at a flow rate of 2 l/min. Subsequently, pilot-scale experiments further validate the effectiveness of this strategy. This research provides theoretical support, engineering evidence, and practical guidance for the development of lithium extraction technology from salt lakes with ultra-high Mg/Li ratio.
