A novel bifunctional thiophene-based Schiff base TS as a colorimetric and fluorescent turn-on sensor for rapid and simultaneous detection of Al 3+ and Zn 2+ ions with high selectivity and sensitivity has been developed. The sensor shows remarkable fluorescence enhancement response for Al 3+ and Zn 2+ over a broad pH range with good anti-interference capability, which accompanied with an obvious color change easily detected by naked eyes. Sensor TS can detect as low as 3.7 × 10 −9 M for Al 3+ and 3.0 × 10 −8 M for Zn 2+ , whereas respective association constants are 1.16 × 10 4 M −1 and 2.08 × 10 4 M −1 . With the help of fluorescence titration and Job's plot, the stoichiometric ratio of TS with Al 3+ /Zn 2+ was determined to be 1:1. The sensing mechanism of sensor TS with Al 3+ /Zn 2+ based on the chelation-enhanced fluorescence (CHEF) was analyzed in detail through 1 H NMR titration, FTIR, HRMS and DFT studies . Moreover, sensor TS has been applied to the detection of Al 3+ and Zn 2+ in real environmental water and food samples as well as the filter paper-based test strips. Furthermore, sensor TS has good cell-permeability and can be used to selectively sense intracellular Al 3+ and Zn 2+ by bioimaging.

N, P, S co-doped graphene quantum dots (NPS-GQDs) were prepared via a one-step wet chemical plus dialysis method directly using anthracite coal as raw material. This facile oxidation process simultaneously synthesized graphene quantum dots (GQDs) and doped N, P and S atoms on edges or forming functional groups of GQDS. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) proved that the involved heteroatoms were successfully doped on GQDs. The local doping of N, P and S on GQDs can reach high levels as 5.6%, 3.7% and 3.7% (by atomic) during XPS detection, respectively. Raman spectra showed that the amount of defects or disorders of prepared GQDs increased during the transition of the coal hunk toward the nano-GQDs. The effect of graphitizing degree of applied coals (varied coal ranks) on the formation of GQDs implied that raw coals with too high or too low graphitizing degree were not optimizing for the formation of high-quality GQDs. The prepared NPS-GQDs showed excellent properties on the excitation-dependent fluorescence and the quench by some trace metals. Thus, the NPS-GQDs were applied to detect of Pb 2+ in both a DI water and a multi-elements analysis matrix, exhibited wide linear detection range (1–20 μM) and a detection limit of 0.75 μM.

A new ternary SnO2–Co–C composite is produced using a facile and scalable ball milling method, which has a microstructure that includes refined SnO2–Co hybrids embedded in graphite. The Co additives dramatically inhibit Sn coarsening in the lithiated SnO2, which enables highly reversible conversion reactions in the SnO2-based ternary composite during cycling. The electrodes exhibit high ICEs with an average of 80.8% and a reversible capacity of 780 mA h g−1 at 0.2 A g−1 after 400 cycles when the composite was manufactured via small planetary ball milling, and they achieve 875 mA h g−1 after 250 cycles when the material is prepared on a large-scale with a roller mill. Even at a high rate of 2 A g−1, the composite has a long lifetime and delivers 610 mA h g−1 after 1000 cycles. Furthermore, a stable capacity of 410 mA h g−1 can be also retained in a full cell combined with a LiFePO4 cathode and SnO2–Co–C anode when cycling within 2.3–3.4 V at 0.2C. The new ternary SnO2–Co–C composite demonstrates excellent comprehensive electrochemical performances, and it is a promising candidate anode material for use in practical applications.

Titanium carbide based cermets are promising wear resistant coating materials used at elevated temperatures in hostile environment owing to their excellent mechanical, physical and chemical properties. In this work, TiC-Co composite coatings with different Co content, as well as a WC-17Co reference coating are prepared by plasma spraying and their wear resistances are investigated. The friction coefficients and wear rates tested by dry sliding friction at 600 °C are used to characterize the high-temperature wear resistance of the coatings. The phase and microstructure evolution of the coatings before and after friction test are evaluated to conclude the wear mechanisms of these coatings. The results show that as-prepared TiC-Co composite coatings are composed of TiC, Ti, α-Co, r-TiO 2 and CoO phases and Ti oxidizes to r-TiO 2 phase during friction test, which is resulted from decarburization and oxidation of TiC. Among all the coatings, TiC-15Co has the minimum friction coefficient and lowest wear rate. It is contributed to the balanced ratio and good bonding between Co-rich soft phases and Ti-rich hard phases. The wear mechanisms of TiC-Co composite coatings are abrasive wear for low Co content (<15 wt%) coatings and adhesion/fatigue wear for high Co content ones.

Laser additive manufacturing (LAM) is a novel method for processing compositionally graded alloys and becomes increasingly important in the context of next-generation manufacturing technology. In this work, (Fe 60 Co 35 Ni 5 ) 78 Si 6 B 12 Cu 1 Mo 3 soft magnetic alloys with different laser power were designed and processed by the LAM. The magnitudes of magnetic properties were analyzed, and the relationships among composition-microstructure-magnetic properties assessed. Results show that the (Fe 60 Co 35 Ni 5 ) 78 Si 6 B 12 Cu 1 Mo 3 alloys by LAM exhibits relative uniform microstructure and comparable magnetic property compared with those conventional processed alloys. The bcc dominated microstructures exhibit a substantially higher saturation magnetization (Ms). With the increase in power, the average grain size of the alloy increased slightly and the increasing volume fraction of the Fe Si phase leaded to the enhancement of magnetization. The (Fe 60 Co 35 Ni 5 ) 78 Si 6 B 12 Cu 1 Mo 3 alloys with laser power of 3000 W exhibits the highest Ms (199 emu/g). The appearance of Fe 3 B results in coarse dendrites and high coercivity (Hc) in the multiple re-heating cycles.

Distinguishing the isomers is considered to be challenging, and shows the great importance in the biochemical and pharmaceutical fields. Herein, the blue carbon dots (CDs) were successfully raised on the basis of a facile hydrothermal way, since Cryptococcus served as the carbon source. Importantly, the as-prepared CDs were employed to achieve the differentiation and detection of two benzenediols. To be specific, the fluorescence of CDs was enhanced once m -benzenediol (resorcinol) was added, while introducing p -benzenediol (hydroquinone) lead to their fluorescence quenching. Towards the mechanism, the addition of m -benzenediol promoted the formation of hydrogen bonds between m -benzenediol and CDs, and thus resulting in their enhanced fluorescence. In contrast, the fluorescence quenching occurred due to the electron transferring from the rich-electrons of CDs to p -benzoquinone, when p -benzenediol was oxidized to be p -benzoquinone. Therefore, a differentiating strategy of two isomers has been proposed, and also contributed to detecting m -benzenediol and p -benzenediol concentrations in the ranges of 2 × 10 −3 to 1 × 10 −7 M and 2 × 10 -5 to 2 × 10 -9 M, respectively. Although there already existed the high performance liquid chromatography and other chemical methods for determining benzenediols, the current strategy provided a new way of distinguishing and assaying the isomers of benzenediols.

A novel Co@crystalline carbon@carbon aerogel composite with yolk-shell structure was fabricated via a green and facile method using biomass-based alginate aerogels as precursor. In the resultant composite, a large amount of highly crystallized Co nanoparticles (∼41.5 wt%) with a diameter of 5–20 nm was coated with crystalline carbon layer and evenly embedded in the porous carbon aerogel matrix. Due to core-shell Co@crystalline carbon structure, the thermal oxidation stability of the composite can be significantly improved. The porous composite also had the high surface area (425 cm 3 g −1 ) and showed considerable magnetization. Benefitting from the well-designed constitution and structure, the Co@crystalline carbon@carbon aerogel composite showed great microwave absorption performances. When the filler loading of the composite in wax was only 10 wt% and the thickness of the absorber was as thin as 1.5 mm, the maximum RL reached −43 dB. The excellent microwave absorption performances with low filler loading and ultrathin thickness make the aerogel composite show great potential application in the microwave absorption field.

Perovskite microplates have important implications in the fields of functional electronics and optoelectronics. We report a facile strategy, antisolvent treatment for the growth of perovskite microplates. The morphology and crystalline quality of the microplates could be controlled by the amount of the chlorobenzene antisolvent used. An appropriate amount of antisolvent facilitates the formation of high-quality perovskite microplates with no residual precursor remaining. Spatially and temporally resolved fluorescence measurements demonstrate the heterogeneity of defect-state density and recombination processes in various perovskite microplate regions. The body center shows higher defect state density when compared with that at the edge or the corner of the microplate. Excessive antisolvent degrades the microplates into smaller particles. The results of this study reveal the factors that influence the crystallization process and photophysical dynamics of perovskite microplates.

As a new type hydrogen storage material, Co–B hydrogen storage alloy was a hot research topic and has been paid increasing attention in recent years. In this work, a series of Co–B alloys with molar ratio of 1:1, 2:1 and 3:1 were synthesized by high energy ball-milling method. The phase, structure and morphology of the samples have been characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscope (SEM), which demonstrated that the samples ball-milled more than 5 h were mainly amorphous phase. Their electrochemical performance as electrochemical hydrogen storage material was investigated by galvanostatic charge–discharge process and cyclic voltammetry (CV) techniques. Electrochemical measurements showed that the Co–B alloys had excellent electrochemical hydrogen storage capacities and exhibited remarkable high rate discharge performance. Their electrochemical hydrogen storage capacity was 771 mAh/g, which was much higher than previous reports (238 mAh/g). Based on XRD and CV results, the exceptional electrochemical performances were suggested to arise from the electrochemical hydrogen storage reaction on the Co–B materials, which was brought about by the special amorphous structure and high chemical reactivity of the Co–B particles.

This work introduces a sustainable and environmentally friendly process for extracting cobalt from leach solution of waste lithium-ion batteries, which can effectively reduce environmental pollution and alleviate shortage in cobalt resources. Three kinds of hydrophobic deep eutectic solvents (HDESs) were synthesized using di-(2-ethylhexyl) phosphate (DEHPA) as a hydrogen bond acceptor (HBA) and 1-butanol, 1-hexol and 1-octanol as hydrogen bond donors (HBD), which were cheap and easy to obtain and had little pollution to water. Among them, 1-butanol had the best extraction efficiency. At an extraction time of 6 min, O/A of 2:1, and pH of 5, the single extraction efficiency of 1-butanol-DEHPA for cobalt reached 95.64 %, which was higher than that when DEHPA was used alone, and the required amount of DEHPA was reduced. Furthermore, HDES exhibited good recycling ability. After five cycles of extraction, the extraction efficiency of HDES for cobalt remained above 80 %. The possible extraction mechanism was explored using the slope method, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy , and hydrogen nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy . Through quantum chemical calculation and optimization, it has been demonstrated that a cation exchange exists between HDESs and cobalt ions , and non-extractive components play an important role in the extraction process. These findings will contribute to the development of environmentally friendly HDESs and improvement of cobalt recovery technology. Additionally, they will contribute to environmental protection and reduction of environmental pollution.

The earth-abundant nanohybrids Co0/Co3O4@N-doped carbon nanotubes were fabricated via an efficient thermal condensation of d-glucosamine hydrochloride, melamine, and Co(NO3)2·6H2O. The hybrids furnish excellent catalytic activity and perfect chemoselectivity (>99%) for a wide range of substituted nitroarenes (21 examples) under relatively mild conditions. The high catalytic performance and durability is attributed to the synergistic effects between each component, the unique structure of graphene layers-coated Co0, and the electronic activation of doped nitrogen. Density functional calculations indicate that the inner Co0 core and N species on the carbon shell can significantly decrease the dissociation energies of H2, giving evidence of the ability of carbon shell in the hybrids to enable H2 activation. These results open up an avenue to design more powerful low-cost catalysts for industrial applications.
